Re: [AMBER] AmberTools20 comilation on macOS

Hello David


As per ususal I am trying to figure out what has priority over whatever else and and try to navigate the interesting macOS system. The normal issues getting homebrew installed versions to get priority over the apple alternatives is a struggle at times. Really surprised to see that I am not able to edit the symlink for CC in /usr/bin without having to turn root.


I do have boost installed though I did also unlink the boost installation and this did not solve the issue.


Using the "./quick_cmake_install -mpi -openmp CLANG" and receiving the error:


BLAS_error.c:1:10: fatal error: 'stdio.h' file not found
#include <stdio.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

Was particularly disappointing as I remember this being a problem with the deprecated inculde files with Xcode that caused some problems last fall (?).

I am aware that homebrew does cause some issues and that the latest Xcode update broke the gcc9 installation from homebrew. I'll keep trying until I find a combination that works.

Best regards
// Gustaf

Boy, I'm not real sure how to reproduce this. I'm guessing you may(?)
have boost installed somewhere on your machine (via homebrew? conda?).
Is that a possibility?

Try adding -DFORCE_EXTERNAL_LIBS=boost, if you indeed have another boost
installation.

Does your build report provide any clues? (This is at the bottom of the
cmake.log file). Posting that might help us figure out what is going
on.

To skip metatwist/moft, set -DDISABLE_TOOLS=moft in your run_cmake file,
and see if other problems are arising.

I doubt that this would lead to the problems you report. I've used
cmake from both kitware and macports, without any problems. What
compiler was used to build cmake should be irrelevant, as far as I can
see.

It's worth your while to visit the common options page:

     https://ambermd.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CMake-Common-Options

and to read the section in the manual about MKL and MPI (if you have not
already done so.) In brief, MKL is "opt-in": you have to ask for it.
The MPI stack that is used is the one in your PATH: if that is openmpi,
then it should be used. But in my experience, you have to compile your
own MPI to use clang + gfortran.

If you have the gnu compilers in your path, just set -DCOMPILER=GNU,
(instead of CLANG), and you'll get the gnu compilers. A homebrew or
macports setup ought to work.

...good luck....dac
