CentOS linker issue

[dselivanov]

On CentOS 7 I got following:

[ 99%] Building CXX object src/bigartm/CMakeFiles/bigartm.dir//artm/cpp_interface.cc.o
[100%] Building CXX object src/bigartm/CMakeFiles/bigartm.dir//artm/messages.pb.cc.o

Actually I have all this files, but they start with lib instead of l.
I'm not make/cmake expert, so can't figure out how to fix this.

[dselivanov]

I can manually create symlink, but probably this will be ugly solution.

@dselivanov bigartm executable by default builds with static linkage - it might be the reason... Could you try disable this as follows?

cmake -DBUILD_STATIC_BIGARTM=OFF ..

(and then build bigartm as usual)

[dselivanov]

this helps! thank you. Closing now?

[sashafrey]

before closing let's discuss whether we should set static linkage to OFF by default.
@romovpa @JeanPaulShapo What do you think? By now we know that static linkage fails on Mac OS X and Cent OS. To me it sounds like an extra option that users should manually switch ON if they care...
@JeanPaulShapo Recently you implemented make install for Linux. Would it still install enough dependencies if we switch static linkage to OFF by default?

[dselivanov]

Before installing on centos server, I installed bigartm on my Macbook. It
works out of the box without any problems ( with static linkage).

Hm.. I'm fairly sure someone reported a similar issue on latest Mac OS X (presumably 10.11.1). Nice to know it worked for you!

[dselivanov]

I'm on 10.10 :-) there always issues on new systems :-)

@dselivanov Could you write here all boost-* packages installed on your CentOS 7?

[JeanPaulShapo]

@sashafrey As I can see from running cmake -DBUILD_STATIC_BIGARTM=OFF ./ && make && make install, it's ok to switch static linkage to OFF by default. But let's make decisions after receiving response from @dselivanov.

[dselivanov]

@JeanPaulShapo see here.

[JeanPaulShapo]

@dselivanov Thanks, although I expected to see filtered output from your package manager :) Nevertheless, it's likely that you don't have package boost-static installed on your CentOS 7 machine. It contains static analogues for boost dynamic libraries. And the word static in the name of the package implies ability for static linkage.
Could you have patience and necessary permisions to install boost-static package and run rm -rf CMakeCahe.txt && cmake ../ && make to check whether you have the error or not?

@dselivanov Try to install glibc-static and libstdc++-static. Hope it works. If not, it's rather serious problem.

[dselivanov]

@JeanPaulShapo thx, now it works fine with static linker. I suppose we need to add this steps to manual.

[JeanPaulShapo]

@dselivanov Of course, we do need.
But how do you know that you need boost?
After brief search I did't find any information about requirements (e.g. boost packages) neither in README nor on http://docs.bigartm.org. Am I missing sometihing?

[dselivanov]

cmake suggest to install it :-)

[sashafrey]

@JeanPaulShapo Could you fix this in the documentation and then close this ticket?

[JeanPaulShapo]

@dselivanov I think now instructions looks OK. Check them and tell us, whether to close this issue or not? :-)

[dselivanov]

looks ok for me! sorry for the long response.
