compiler error looking for Binaries to get around #330

Hi there,

I'm trying to install mrtrix on a cluster my school has set aside for research and the technical staff involved in installing software have not succeeded in compiling MRtrix because their systems are very out of date.

Is there a way that I can get access to a binary release for REHL 6.0 or 6.1? That's all I need. Thank you for your time!

At the moment, we don't supply binary builds - although we probably will once we get to the stage of creating a proper full release (i.e. version 3.0), hopefully in the next few months. In the meantime, the simplest thing to do is to set up a small virtual machine with an up to date OS, and compile static binaries as explained in the standalone installation wiki page.

I wonder if we could use the digital ocean web server for this? Rami, what version of linux does it run?

@draffelt : are we talking about providing nightly builds...? Or just for the releases proper?

draffelt commented 9 years ago

I always thought binaries for release would be appropriate. However, if we wanted to provide up to date binaries, we could probably get TravisCI to have 1 of the test environments build static and push them to Github if all tests pass?

But it would be for Mac and Linux only. Does the static build work on Mac? On 23 Aug 2015 6:30 pm, "J-Donald Tournier" notifications@github.com wrote:

I'm surprised TravisCI runs an outdated distro... I'm guessing you've had to install all the dependencies from non-standard sources? Even the compiler needs to be updated from a PPA to build MRtrix3 on 12.04...

In any case, I'm not sure I'd be up for providing binaries produced on an older distro - it would be OK if it was 14.04, although issues with Qt have been reported on that distro... I'd rather it was Arch Linux, but I appreciate that wouldn't be everyone's first choice... In any case, I reckon the DigitalOcean server would be better for this - assuming it runs something more recent, of course.

DigitalOcean server is running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS

jdtournier commented 9 years ago

Sounds like a better option. Only snag will be setting up a static build of Qt to link against - I doubt Canonical provide a ready-made static version of it...

draffelt commented 9 years ago

Yep, it's a tad annoying. I have to install the dependencies, including gcc, from a PPA every test...
