Compiling error

[mcianfrocco]

Dear developers,

I have run into this compiling error when compiling for CPU THUNDER:

Is this an error related to the C-language used? I'm finding this error to be hard to interpret and any information would be very helpful.

Thank you, Mike

As a follow up, I'm using gcc 4.9.2

[Zarrathustra]

Thank you for your report.

It seems that something wrong happened when gcc 4.9.2 compiling boost package in THUNDER. We are setting up the same environment and trying to repeat your issue. We will report the result back to your as soon as possible.

Best regards.

[mcianfrocco]

Is there a preferred version of gcc that I should be using?

[Zarrathustra]

Hi, we have tested gcc4.9.2 but it successfully compiled CPU version of THUNDER, under the environment of Ubuntu + gcc4.9.2 + cmake 3.10 + mpich3.2.

Moreover, we noticed that, in your report, there is icpc: command line warning #10006: ignoring unknown option '-Wno-deprecated-declarations'. In my point of view, icpc belongs to Intel compiler. If possible, please check which C/C++ compiler you are using.

Assuming that you are using Intel compiler, we have tested Intel compiler 2018. However, it also successfully compiled CPU version of THUNDER. May you check your Intel compiler version by icpc --version command?

Finally, we recommend gcc4.2, gcc4.3, gcc4.4 and gcc4.5, which have been well tested.

Best regards!

Thank you for your response - while debugging the native environment, I have been able to successfully install THUNDER on a singularity container. Thank you - I'm closing this ticket.

Great!
