Building the Go SWIG example code - go

I'm trying to build the example SWIG bindings that come with Go. The files I'm looking at are located in misc/swig/callback.
Are there instructions on how to build this example? I tried following the directions here:
http://www.swig.org/Doc2.0/Go.html
but the code generated by SWIG doesn't seem to compile with g++ (since it uses a C++ library ) and doesn't compile with g++ (with multiple compilation errors).
Has anyone built this example successfully?
Thanks!

For example,
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/gopath
$ cd $GOPATH/src/swig/callback
$ go clean
$ go install -v
swig/callback
$
Since you say you had problems with g++, do you have everything installed for g++? For example,
$ sudo apt-get install g++ g++-multilib libstdc++6
$ g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.3-1ubuntu1) 4.7.3

gcc-11 from Homebrew Not Found by MacOS - installation and $PATH seem OK

I'm trying to compile a package called Kraken on my M1 Mac running Big Sur.
MacOS fails to compile: clang gets upset. I installed gcc from Homebrew (twice) and $ brew doctor says I'm ready to go.
My path is now:
/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin.
The gcc-11 etc files exist at /opt/homebrew/bin
But /usr/local/bin does not exist!
MacOS does not update the command alias for gcc:
$ rm gcc
then
$ ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/gcc-11 gcc
return no error
but then
$ which gcc
returns
/usr/bin/gcc
I'm lost and gather this compiler-pointing has been a mess; is there any new insight here? I've seen a bunch of entries but nothing I've tried has worked.
Hoping this is a stupid newbie (me) problem, I thank you for any help you can give.

Homebrew avoids linking binaries with the same name as system binaries like gcc(appleclang). ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/gcc-11 /opt/homebrew/bin/gcc or tell your configurator to explicitly use gcc-11 via CC= etc. and the same for g++-11 if C++ is used.
If it's a ./configure script, you can try calling CC=/opt/homebrew/bin/gcc-11 CXX=/opt/homebrew/bin/g++-11 ./configure
if cmake then use cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/opt/homebrew/bin/gcc-11 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/opt/homebrew/gcc++-11
Also, try seeing where the homebrew gcc link points ls -l /opt/homebrew/bin/gcc

Compilation of MPI - cuda aware program fails [duplicate]

when I compile my script with only
#include <mpi.h>
it tells me that there is no such file or directory.
But when i include the path to mpi.h as
#include "/usr/include/mpi/mpi.h"
(the path is correct) it returns:
In file included from /usr/include/mpi/mpi.h:2087:0,
from lbm.cc:7:
/usr/include/mpi/openmpi/ompi/mpi/cxx/mpicxx.h:35:17: fatal error: mpi.h: No such file or directory
#include "mpi.h"
^
compilation terminated.
Anyone know how to fix this?
The problem is almost certainly that you're not using the MPI compiler wrappers. Whenever you're compiling an MPI program, you should use the MPI wrappers:
C - mpicc
C++ - mpiCC, mpicxx, mpic++
FORTRAN - mpifort, mpif77, mpif90
These wrappers do all of the dirty work for you of making sure that all of the appropriate compiler flags, libraries, include directories, library directories, etc. are included when you compile your program.
On my system, I was just missing the Linux package.
sudo apt install libopenmpi-dev
pip install mpi4py
(example of something that uses it that is a good instant test to see if it succeeded)
Succeded.
You can execute:
$ mpicc -showme
result :
gcc -I/Users/<USER_NAME>/openmpi-2.0.1/include -L/Users/<USER_NAME>/openmpi-2.0.1/lib -lmp
This command shows you the necessary libraries to compile mpicc
Example:
$ mpicc -g -I/Users/<USER_NAME>/openmpi-2.0.1/include -o [nameExec] [objetcs.o...] [program.c] -lm
$ mpicc -g -I/Users/<USER_NAME>/openmpi-2.0.1/include -o example file_object.o my_program.c otherlib.o -lm
this command generates executable with your program in example, you can execute :
$ ./example
On my system Ubuntu 16.04. I installed :
sudo apt install libopenmpi-dev
after I used mpiCC to compile and it works
As suggested above the inclusion of
/usr/lib/openmpi/include
in the include path takes care of this (in my case)
Debian appears to include the following:
mpiCC.openmpi
mpic++.openmpi
mpicc.openmpi
mpicxx.openmpi
mpif77.openmpi
mpif90.openmpi
I'll test symlinks of each for mpic, etc., and see if that helps the likes of HDF5-openmpi enabled find mpi.h.
Take that back Debian includes symlinks via their alternatives system and it still cannot find the proper paths between HDF5 openmpi packages and mpi.h referenced in the H5public.h header.
On Ubuntu 18.04 I had to install:
sudo apt install lam4-dev
On Fedora:
dnf install openmpi-devel
On Mac 12.2, I installed with brew install openmpi. The header file is under /opt/homebrew/Cellar/open-mpi/x.x.x/include.
once you have mpi installed:
$ sudo apt install mpich
see where the library is installed, each case is different:
$ mpicc -show
in my case: (Ubuntu 20.0)
and add...
#include </usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/include/openmpi>

Installing gcc 4.1.0 on ubuntu

I have latest version of ubuntu, but the version of gcc is higher than what I want. How do I build gcc 4.1.0 or install gcc 4.1.0 on this.
I did not find steps to build gcc 4.1.0
Here are the steps to building gcc:
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/
Note that, while "It refers to the current development sources, instructions for specific released versions are included with the sources."
It is a typical* configure, make, make install process. The most important configure flag is probably --enable-languages. and --prefix of course. Also --program-suffix=-4.1 will cause the generated executable to be called gcc-4.1 instead of gcc. The prerequisites list may look scary but most of it is optional, especially if only building for C/C++.
[*] ok, not so typical: another caveat pointed out by JonathanWakely in the comments below is that you shouldn't build gcc in the source dir since that is not supported, so :
(after getting all the prerequisites)
[gcc-src-dir] $ cd ../my-build-dir
[my-build-dir] $ ../gcc-src-dir/configure $CONFIG_FLAGS
[my-build-dir] $ make
[my-build-dir] $ make install
And he pointed to a wiki page he wrote which will walk you through the whole process.
I had a few issues installing gcc 4.1.2 on ubuntu (12.04 in my case). This script sorted it for me:
#!/bin/tcsh
if ($#argv != 1) then
echo "Synopsis: $argv[0] <install_dir>"
exit(-1)
endif
setenv GCCINSTALL $argv[1]
setenv LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
setenv SRC ~/gccSrc
mkdir -p $SRC
cd $SRC
wget http://gcc.cybermirror.org/releases/gcc-4.1.2/gcc-4.1.2.tar.gz
tar xvf gcc-4.1.2.tar.gz
cd gcc-4.1.2
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --prefix=${GCCINSTALL} --disable-multilib
grep 4.1.2/missing Makefile
sed -i "s#${SRC}/gcc-4.1.2/missing##" Makefile
grep 4.1.2/missing Makefile
make bootstrap
make install

gfortran: error trying to exec 'f951': execvp: No such file or directory

I'm trying to compile a code found on the internet. Actually I'm trying to compile the code found at http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~fowlkes/BSE/.
I tried to install gfortran and all the other libraries that are needed for compiling it in my MAC. But when I run the command make I get the following error:
$ make
(cd trlan && make -f Makefile.gcc)
gfortran -O3 -ffixed-line-length-132 -c dsort2.f
gfortran: error trying to exec 'f951': execvp: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [dsort2.o] Error 1
make: *** [trlan/libtrlan.a] Error 2
I believed that the error is related to the version of my c++ compiler, that is not compatible with gfortran.
When I run the command gcc --version:
$ gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)
And when I run the command gfortran --version:
$ gfortran --version
GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.8.0 20120930 (experimental)
The Makefile under the directory that I'm running the command make is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q7mxvhnqg62ioum/Makefile.gcc
The Makefile under the directory trlan is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jydwpkg3f1upbgf/Makefile.gcc
Anyone has an idea of how to solve this problem or how to find tools that can help me solve it?
I'm trying this:
http://eftrunk.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-fix-error-trying-to-exec-f951.html
The simplest solution I found (perhaps not cleanest), is to statically link f951 in the path to the binary of gfortran:
find /usr/local/ -name f951
which for me returned:
/usr/local/gfortran/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin11/4.6.2/f951
/usr/local/gfortran/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin14/5.1.0/f951
so I put a link to the one that fits my system most closely in /usr/local/bin:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/gfortran/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin14/5.1.0/f951 /usr/local/bin/.
And now gfortran works again. No need to uninstall XCode or any other exaggerated workload.
The answer can be found in the following website:
http://eftrunk.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-fix-error-trying-to-exec-f951.html
Basically it's necessary to delete Xcode, reinstall gcc and gfortran using http://hpc.sourceforge.net/ and then reinstall Xcode.

changing search-dirs for $ sudo gcc

On OS X I'm trying to install the zlib prerequisite for haskell's Cabal. I get this error:
$ sudo ./Setup build
Preprocessing library zlib-0.5.0.0…
ld: library not found for -lgmp
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
linking dist/build/Codec/Compression/Zlib/Stream_hsc_make.o failed
command was: /usr/bin/gcc -lz -L/sw/lib/ghc-6.8.3/lib/bytestring-0.9.0.1.1 -L/sw/lib/ghc-6.8.3/lib/array-0.1.0.0 -L/sw/lib/ghc-6.8.3/lib/base-3.0.2.0 -L/sw/lib/ghc-6.8.3 -lm -lgmp -ldl dist/build/Codec/Compression/Zlib/Stream_hsc_make.o -o dist/build/Codec/Compression/Zlib/Stream_hsc_make
The library -lgmp is found in /sw/lib, so I can run that command ("/usr/bin/gcc ...") successfully if I manually add -L/sw/lib. The problem is that sudo doesn't know about /sw/lib. Behold:
$ gcc -print-search-dirs | grep sw
libraries: =/lib/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/:/lib/:/usr/lib/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/:/usr/lib/:./i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/:./:/sw/lib/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/:/sw/lib/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/../../../../i686-apple-darwin9/lib/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/../../../../i686-apple-darwin9/lib/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/../../../i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/../../../
$ sudo gcc -print-search-dirs | grep sw
$
How do I tell the sudo version of gcc to look in /sw/lib for libraries? Do I add an environment variable on root's .bash_profile? If so, which one?
UPDATE:
There’s probably a more proper way to do this, but here’s what worked. I created a bash script with this in it:
#!/bin/sh
export LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH
./Setup build
And then I ran
$ sudo ./script.sh
That compiled zlib without complaining - hooray! Unfortunately cabal-install is still giving me the error:
$ ./Setup configure
Configuring cabal-install-0.6.2…
Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing:
zlib >=0.4 && <0.6
So I went back to the cabal-install dir (which is what I'm trying to do in the first place), and ran...
$ ./bootstrap.sh
...and that installed everything as expected.
Why you use sudo ever? You should not compile as super user. Compile as normal user and install as super user.
Try setting LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib.
GHC now comes with an installer for OS X (Leopard, not sure about Tiger). The only issue is that if you use macports or fink, these will probably not see that you have GHC installed and try to install their own version of it.
