unable to build montage #48

Closed akritiasto closed 3 years ago

akritiasto commented 5 years ago

I am trying to build montage on fedora 30. I followed the steps: cloned from github(https://github.com/Caltech-IPAC/Montage) type "make" to build montage

I am getting the following error: gcc -o mConvert mConvert.o debugCheck.o checkHdr.o \ checkWCS.o -L../lib -lwcs -lcfitsio -lcoord -lmtbl -lsvc -lwww -lboundaries -lpixbounds -ltwoplane -lnsl -lm /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnsl collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: [Makefile:114: mConvert] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/akriti/Montage/Montage' make: [Makefile:5: all] Error 2

Kindly help resolve this issue

The NSL library deals with networking issues and until now has been standard on all LINUX platforms. Apparently, Fedora (as of version 28; May 2018) no longer includes (or needs) libnsl.

There are a few places in Montage where we do simple Makefile configuration based on the OS version. Fedora still claims to be generic LINUX but is different from other LINUX distributions in this regard. Until we have a chance to update the logic, you will have to manually edit the "-lnsl" out of the library list wherever it causes you trouble.

While we have maintained a presence for Montage on GitHub for a several years now, until recently the actual source code control and issue tracking were done through other, institution-specific, tools. So while we addressed all issues in a timely manner, we were regrettably lax about cleaning up these issues in GitHub.

All our Makefiles have been updated to avoid this problem.
