make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/test_cpu.dir/all] Error 2 when building warp_ctc_pytorch

[ahmedmazari]

Hello , l tried to install the fast CTC parallel library from this link https://github.com/SeanNaren/warp-ctc as follow :

git clone https://github.com/baidu-research/warp-ctc.git
cd warp-ctc
mkdir build 
cd build 
cmake ../

After running

make

l got the following error :

what's wrong l don't understand the error ?

It seems to be related to the version of stdlib. You have better to open the issue in warp_ctc for help.

I just uninstall conda and install pytorch by pip to solve this problem.
