Error at `make`: VariantIndex.cpp:89:16: error: call to 'abs' is ambiguous #141

evanbiederstedt · 2017-12-06T21:10:15Z

All dependencies appear to be installed correctly, in the "default" locations with sudo privileges. (I am not using the jemalloc memory allocator.)

Within /sga-master/src, I first ran ./configure via

$ ./configure  --with-sparsehash=/usr/local/include/sparsehash --with-bamtools=/usr/local/

whereby all checks pass successfully. Then I try make in the same location:

Resolutions?

I suspect you're using gcc >4? Do you get an error if you use one of the 4.x gcc versions?

evanbiederstedt · 2017-12-06T21:18:07Z

I suspect you're using gcc >4?

I don't think so. I'm trying this on my MacOS:

$ gcc --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.38)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

$ gcc -dumpversion
4.2.1

So it looks like I get this via gcc 4.2.1

jts · 2017-12-06T21:27:26Z

It is probably due to clang. Could you try installing using homebrew? SGA hasn't been updated in awhile so homebew should give you the latest version.

evanbiederstedt · 2017-12-06T21:54:53Z

It is probably due to clang.

The above via gcc -v looks like it's using clang version: Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.38)

Brew currently installs:

$ brew install gcc
Warning: gcc 7.2.0 is already installed

Could you try installing using homebrew?

I think you mean use the newest version of gcc installed via Homebrew. Homebrew places this in /usr/local/bin, it appears

I've tried export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH before make clean and make, as well as creating a symbolic link from the Homebrew version, e.g.

cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s gcc-7 gcc

I'm still getting the same error with make:

I meant to install sga with homebrew, sorry for being unclear:

brew install sga

evanbiederstedt · 2017-12-06T21:57:08Z

Oh, I see

Hmmm. It doesn't like that:

$ brew install sga
Error: No available formula with the name "sga" 
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula...
Warning: homebrew/core is shallow clone. To get complete history run:
  git -C "$(brew --repo homebrew/core)" fetch --unshallow

Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
==> Searching local taps...

This similarly named formula was found:
vorbisgain
To install it, run:
  brew install vorbisgain
==> Searching taps...
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.

Brew is upgraded/updated.

evanbiederstedt · 2017-12-06T22:09:07Z

I meant to install sga with homebrew, sorry for being unclear:

Also, just to clarify, as I'm installing soon on Linux as well: what would be the correct gcc/clang versions to use?

jts · 2017-12-06T22:47:30Z

Ah sorry, you need to install the homebrew science formulas first:

brew tap homebrew/science
brew install sga

For linux gcc-4.7 or gcc-4.8 should be fine.

Jared

evanbiederstedt · 2017-12-06T22:54:06Z

It works, thanks!

I'll let you know if there's an installation on Linux in a new Issue. Consider this closed I suppose (though it might be a good idea to tell Mac OS users just to try brew, or to specify the correct gcc, e.g. if they already use MacPorts/whatever)

Thanks, Evan

jts · 2017-12-07T14:14:51Z

Great, glad I could help.

Here's a PR to fix this error call to 'abs' is ambiguous: #148

sjackman · 2018-02-27T05:31:43Z

@evanbiederstedt Once PR brewsci/homebrew-bio#67 has been merged, you can install sga on both Linux and macOS using Linuxbrew and Homebrew.

brew install brewsci/bio/sga

See http://linuxbrew.sh and https://brew.sh

evanbiederstedt · 2018-02-27T05:37:47Z

This is good to know! Thanks!
