Using 'gmakeN' after 'cmake' produces error in src/CMakeFiles/hpx.dir/runtime/agas/addressing_service.cpp.o

[Rodario]

Hello, currently I cant get beyond gmake -j3 in the steps to setting up hpx.

My setup:

• OS: Fedora 26
• Compiler: gcc 7.1.1
• Boost library: 1.61.0
• Using TCMalloc

I followed the steps of your fedora receipe to get all the required librarys.

After that I used the steps:

• "cmake .." in build folder without extra definitions
• gmake -j3

Than the building reached:
[ 0%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/hpx.dir/runtime/agas/big_boot_barrier.cpp.o

and I got the following error message:

I have used all available tutorials but cant seem to find the problem causing error in
agas/addressing_service.cpp.o

@Rodario: this is a known problem in Boost caused by the fact that it was released before the compiler you're using (gcc 7). Please configure HPX with cmake -DHPX_WITH_CXX14=ON ... to work around the issue.

@Rodario do you still have problems? Can we close this now?

[Rodario]

Jep, the compiler version was the problem, thanks for the quick help!
