2 years ago Cecilia reported that the version she tried 2 months ago built without the gui. This means something outside of the VisIt module changed since its been over 2 months since we modified the module.
Cecilia reported being unable to build VisIt with spack with the gui disabled.
Here are her comments.
I have downloaded spack version v0.18.0 and it has visit 3.2.1 (I had been successfully installing visit 3.2.1 using the public spack version before). However, now I am getting concretization errors trying to install with
visit@3.2.1~gui~mpi ^python@3.7.12 ^libdrm@2.4.100 ^py-setuptools@51.0.0 ^glib@2.70.4
gives the following concretization error
==> Error: 'mesa-glu' required multiple values for single-valued variant 'osmesa' Requested '~osmesa' and '+osmesa'
Adding osmesa
visit@3.2.1~gui+osmesa~mpi ^python@3.7.12 ^libdrm@2.4.100 ^py-setuptools@51.0.0 ^glib@2.70.4
gives
==> Error: 'mesa-glu' required multiple values for single-valued variant 'osmesa' Requested '~osmesa' and '+osmesa'
Adding mesa-glu
visit@3.2.1~gui+mesa-glu+osmesa~mpi ^python@3.7.12 ^libdrm@2.4.100 ^py-setuptools@51.0.0 ^glib@2.70.4
gives
==> Error: trying to set variant "mesa-glu" in package "visit", but the package has no such variant [happened during concretization of visit@3.2.1~gui+mesa-glu~mpi+osmesa ^glib@2.70.4 ^libdrm@2.4.100 ^py-setuptools@51.0.0 ^python@3.7.12]
So, I am at a loss regarding how to build visit 3.2.1 without the gui. Any help would be appreciated.
