Hey guys! I am getting the following compilation error:

make: *** [Makefile:133: all] Error 2

The error I pasted here is from a clean clone from the flow repository. I did the following commands to get to this error:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD-flow-scripts
cd OpenROAD-flow-scripts
sudo ./tools/OpenROAD/etc/DependencyInstaller.sh -dev
./build_openroad.sh --local

I noticed that if I run DepdencyInstaller multiple times it actually updates and compile Boost everytime. Not sure how to proceed, any help is welcome.

What OS and what compiler?

Sorry, I am sending the complete compilation log.

Make sure your boost install has all the required features. If you installed from source it should look something like here

[maliberty]

The log unfortunately doesn't have the boost version so I just added print that in the OR master branch. What version of boost do you have installed?

[gudeh]

Reuploading the log from compiling and from calling DependencyInstaller, after pulling your last udpate:

log.txt
logDependencyInstaller.txt

[gudeh]

Hi everyone, I was able to solve the issue by manually updating Boost. I used the links from this stackoverflow page and set the "-prefix=" with the same location my Boost was already installed. Also, I had to clean my previous build from OR.

It seems that for some reason the DependencyInstaller didn't fetch the correct Boost version to upgrade to.

[maliberty]

@vvbandeira any idea about " for some reason the DependencyInstaller didn't fetch the correct Boost version to upgrade to."?

[vvbandeira]

@gudeh could you clarify the statement? What was the expected version that it should have fetched and which it did fetch? Note that from the log files you provided before, the script is working as intended -- ie., downloading and installing boost 1.76.0; Finally, if you had already boost installed in your system in a place other than /usr/local/ I would file this as a corner case that our script is not intended to handle.

[gudeh]

Hi @vvbandeira. I said that assuming that 1.76 was not the correct version, if this is the correct version you can ignore what I said. I agree with you, this looks like a corner case and for some reason updating Boost fixed the issue.
