TITAN build (trmm_rsl) fails on Fedora 28 (missing Sun RPC interfaces from glibc)

brancomat commented 5 years ago

I tried building TITAN on a Fedora 28 (x86_64) with:

./build/checkout_and_build_auto.py --prefix ~/titan --package titan

The error is in /tmp/lrose_build/lrose-core/codebase/libs/trmm_rsl/src:

libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../.. -I/tmp/lrose_build/tmp/include -I/tmp/lrose_build/tmp/include -I./include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/opt/X11/include -I../../FiltAlg/src/include -I../../FiltAlgVirtVol/src/include -I../../Fmq/src/include -I../../Mdv/src/include -I../../Ncxx/src/include -I../../Radx/src/include -I../../Refract/src/include -I../../Spdb/src/include -I../../advect/src/include -I../../cidd/src/include -I../../contour/src/include -I../../dataport/src/include -I../../didss/src/include -I../../dsdata/src/include -I../../dsserver/src/include -I../../euclid/src/include -I../../forayRal/src/include -I../../grib/src/include -I../../grib2/src/include -I../../hydro/src/include -I../../kd/src/include -I../../mm5/src/include -I../../physics/src/include -I../../radar/src/include -I../../rapformats/src/include -I../../rapmath/src/include -I../../rapplot/src/include -I../../shapelib/src/include -I../../tdrp/src/include -I../../titan/src/include -I../../toolsa/src/include -I../../trmm_rsl/src/include -g -O2 -MT rsl/interp.lo -MD -MP -MF rsl/.deps/interp.Tpo -c rsl/interp.c -o rsl/interp.o >/dev/null 2>&1

This is probably due to glibc dropping RPC functionality: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SunRPCRemoval

In short:

upstream decided to move Sun RPC support to a separate library, libtirpc

libtirpc should be API compatile but the build system need to know to link the different library

Right, we are in the process of moving away from the trmm_rsl libraries by rewriting the JamesDealias code to use internal RadxVol structures instead. JamesDealias will be moved into RadxDealias. Until that time, a work around is to install a binary version of LROSE, if possible, or to not build the JamesDealias code. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the feedback, I'll try the binary release.

JamesDealias has been converted to RadxDealias and should be available in the next release of lrose. The new code is in the repository.

Thank you! I confirm that now I'm able to compile titan from the master branch on Fedora 28.
