aliBuild and aliDoctor disagree on packages to build (Ubuntu 14.04)

aphecetche commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to build o2 on Ubuntu 14.04 (in a container, image from travis), and it seems aliDoctor and aliBuild disagree on the packages to be built. Specifically aliBuild wants to build the GCC toolchain (which I'd rather avoid) while aliDoctor says it's ok (see below the tail of the output of both commands).

GCC 5 (5.4) (including fortran) is installed in $HOME/bin and $HOME/bin is added to PATH.

What stupid mistake am I making ;-) ?

Thanks,

==> The following packages will be picked up from the system:

- FreeType
- Python
- libxml2
- SWIG
- zlib
- OpenSSL
- GCC-Toolchain
- libpng
- autotools

If this is not you want, you have to uninstall / unload them.

==> The following packages will be build by aliBuild because they couldn't be picked up from the system:

- Python-modules
- Vc
- CMake
- protobuf
- yaml-cpp
- nanomsg
- ZeroMQ
- boost
- GSL

This is not a real issue, but it might take longer the first time you invoke aliBuild.

Did you set the same defaults when calling aliDoctor ?

aphecetche commented 7 years ago

Damn it. Nooooo !

Sure enough with aliDoctor --defaults o2 I get the source of the problem :

GCC-Toolchain: :3:2: error: #error "System's GCC cannot be used: we need at least GCC 6.X. We are going to compile our own version.

Thanks Barth !

Barthelemy commented 7 years ago

@ktf @dberzano Shouldn't aliDoctor have complained that O2 requires a defaults ? @aphecetche Was your alidist up to date ?

ktf commented 7 years ago

@Barthelemy yes, I agree. aliDoctor should have said something about the default.
