HPX build on Mac gives linker errors

I'm trying to build build HPX on OS X Yosemite. I'm getting the following linker errors on running the command 'make'.

I'm using gcc as my compiler.

Solution

  • Try configuring hpx as follows;

    /Users/hpx > ./configure --with-hwloc=contrib --prefix=/Users/hpx/install CC=clang


/Users/hpx > make

    Error you posted has something to do with gcc and linker in Yosemite. Still not sure how to exactly solve the error. But as a work around you can use the clang compiler when compiling HPX.
