[slurm-users] Problems building RPMs

[Phill Harvey-Smith]

Hi all,

Environment is Rocky Linux 9.0

I'm trying to build RPMs for the latest slurm tarball with :

rpmbuild -v -ta slurm*.tar.bz2

This barfs out with a similar problem to Maximilian Ebert's problems
building on Centos 9 namely that the build dies trying to link :

`.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro' referenced in section
`.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro' of .libs/xstring.o: defined in discarded
section
`.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro[wm4.xmalloc.h.69.ea420118d87051d8f53bdc4e00ad1cc7]'
of .libs/xstring.o
`.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro' referenced in section
`.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro' of .libs/xstring.o: defined in discarded
section
`.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro[wm4.xstring.h.41.bdda85562fbe08d4914fb6ca15e366c5]'
of .libs/xstring.o
make[5]: *** [Makefile:1400: libcommon.o] Error 1
make[5]: Leaving directory '/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/slurm-22.05.2/src/common'
make[4]: *** [Makefile:1286: ../../src/common/libcommon.o] Error 2
make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....


What is odd is that if I unzip the tarball into a directory and do a
standard build :

tar xjvf slurm-22.05.2.tar.bz2
cd slurm-22.05.2
./configure
make

it all builds without problems.

Anyone have any idea how I can build the RPM files?

Cheers.

Phill.

Hi Phil,

Link-time optimization (LTO) has been enabled by default in RHEL9:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LTOByDefault
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/developing_c_and_cpp_applications_in_rhel_9/index#ref_link-time-optimization_using-libraries-with-gcc

The issue has been reported to SchedMD already (see
https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14565).
The current workaround is to disable LTO in the SPEC file (see the bug
report for details).

Cheers,

Hmm. That would imply you could still use the tar file with something like:

rpmbuild -v -ta --define "_lto_cflags %{nil}" slurm-22.05.2.tar.bz2

Note, I have not tried this (no immediate access to RHEL9 derivative),
so YMMV.

Right tried that, and I stopped getting the gnu.debug messages but now
getting the following :

My build command line is :

rpmbuild -v -ta --define "_lto_cflags %{nil}" slurm-22.05.2.tar.bz2

I also tried --without mysql but that didn't change the error --with
mysql threw an error that mysql-devel was not installed, but doesn't
seem available in yum.

Cheers.

You should probably install the database RPMs before building Slurm:

dnf install mariadb-server mariadb-devel

Also make sure that you have all prerequisites, see my Wiki page
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/niflheim/Slurm_installation#install-prerequisites

If --without mysql still fails without the database RPMs, that would
indicate a bug in the spec file. The spec file works fine on EL8, however.

This check is useful after you have installed slurm-slurmdbd:

rpm -ql slurm-slurmdbd | grep accounting_storage_mysql.so

Yep was having problems there could not find them in the repositories
turns out I had to install / enable the crb repo which isn't enabled by
default.

So I can confirm that it certainly seems to be building now.

Cheers.
