VTK 9.2.2 build aborts

Support
1

I’m trying to build 9.2.2 with GCC 4.8.5 where I’m taking all of the defaults except that I select a RELASE build and I set VTK_GUISupportQtQuick to NO. All selections are made with ccmake.

This is what I see:

^

Any ideas what caused this?

I wonder why it is finding it in this 4.8.2 directory.

3

Because /usr/include/c++/4.8.5 points (links) to it.

4

Understood. We’re taking a look at the gcc 4.8.5 build failure.

5

Okay. Will be happy to try again if there is a solution.

6

There were two MRs recently to fix 4.8.5 compilation:

I’ll look at getting them into 9.2.3.

7

Has this been fixed in version 9.2.5?

8

I think so yes.

I tried building version 9.2.5 in release mode with gcc 4.8.5 and once again ran into problems. The following is just a small sample of the messages that appear:

Please try release branch

11

And where would that be? I do to vtk.org, click on downloads, and download what is there. I don’t see anything else except for past releases.

12

Use git to clone https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/ and checkout the release branch.

13

I did this. Cloned and checked out the repo. Switched to the release branch. Same result. Does not build as a showed before.

14

Can you try master branch for completness ?

15

I’ll give it a go later today.

16

Okay. Checked out the master branch. It was worse. Didn’t even complete 1% of the build!

17

master and release should be compatible with GCC 4.8.5

Please open appropriate issues: https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/issues
