Issue with Boost

[Khem Gautam]

Hello, 

I am getting this error during configuration with boost. I tried system boost as well as version 1.82.0. I am using MacOS. Config.log file is also attached. Can somebody please suggest a fix?

Thank you,

Khemraj

I also tried with the bundled boost. It gives the same issue.

This looks like it could be a C++11 issue. Can you try adding -std=c++11 or -std=c++17 to your C++ compiler, e.g., via settings:

CXX=“mpicxx -std=c++17"

Thank you for the reply. I still get the same issue even with CXX=“mpicxx -std=c++17".

What version of IBAMR are you using? (It looks like we are not doing a good job of recording this in the configure-based build system.) If you are not already doing so, can you try using the most recent IBAMR release or pulling IBAMR’s master branch?

Are you able to try using autoibamr to build IBAMR?

Khemraj is using a branch that is rebased against latest master.

Hi Khemraj,

Yup, it's a problem with boost and recent versions of clang - the relevant patch hasn't yet been merged. There's a patch around it in autoibamr.

Best,

David Wells
