which solc # I get the path to my solc
/usr/local/bin/solc

Open the geth console

geth console 2>>geth.log

and now I try to sync

admin.setSolc("/usr/local/bin/solc")

but I get the error

TypeError: 'setSolc' is not a function
at <anonymous>:1:1

I believe solc integration was removed from geth as of v1.6.0. See #3740 for more details, but it looks like admin.setSolc was removed as part of that PR.

  • In general, solc should be used as a standalone tool, or via tools built around it (e.g. browser-solidity)

  • There are tutorials everywhere referencing it. Is there a consistent help page/tutorial so I can deploy a contract?

  • @JustinThomas Yeah, the tutorials are now all considered "out of date", as of geth v1.6.0 (as linked above). I don't know of any tutorials off the top of my head, but if you look for ones that are specific to solc itself (e.g. using the command line), you might find what you're looking for.
