Givaro library could not be used with the compiler #374

Closed txgk closed 2 years ago

txgk commented 2 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to package fflas-ffpack to Alpine Linux repository and so far l can't get over the configure problem with Givaro - it keeps yielding:

configure: error: The Givaro library could not be used with the compiler and the flags set up by the configure script

I tried passing different sets of arguments to configure script, disabling Alpine-specific CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, forcing lookup pathes for Givaro, but the error is always the same... You can view log of the build process here.

The way we build Givaro is not fancy at all - it is just ./configure --prefix=/usr --enabled-shared && make && make install. I don't understand why it could be incompatible...

Could you please post the config.log file generated by your run of configure in fflas-ffpack ?

txgk commented 2 years ago

This config.log was generated on x86_64 builder for Alpine Linux (sorry for numbers in the beginning of lines).

It seems that your installation of gmp does not provide the c++ wrappers gmpxx.h. This is obtained by passing the --enable-cxx option to the configure script of gmp. So I guess the solution for this issue is in changing the way you build the gmp package for Alpine Linux.

ClementPernet commented 2 years ago

For instance, the debian package libgmp-dev is compiled with the c++ bindings: https://packages.debian.org/fr/sid/libgmp-dev

Thank you for help! I originally compiled fflas-ffpack without gmp headers (in Alpine gmp is actually compiled with --enable-cxx, I just didn't add it), but after I added it to the dependencies, the build got fixed. In that case this message about Givaro is a little misleading since the problem was in the lack of gmp...
