Build fails in pythia6 (on Mac) about aliceo2 HOT 6 CLOSED

It fails at linking stage. Probably we need to point the compiler to the right gfortran lib.

from aliceo2.

The missing symbols are indeed all in the standard gfortran lib.
Do you have this lib installed? What is the output of which gfortran?

If you have a fortran installation, you may possibly try to modify the pythia6 recipe

in

https://github.com/alisw/pythia6/blob/alice/428/CMakeLists.txt

and try adding (something like)

target_link_library(pythia6 gfortran)

@dberzano: What is your opinion?

from aliceo2.

I can confirm this problem. I added the line Sandro suggests to my private fork of pythia6 in order to be able to compile. See: https://github.com/mfasDa/pythia6/tree/alice/428 . In principle this can be pulled into master.

In addition I ran into a second build failure, this time on Ubuntu 16.04, in LHAPDF, in the configure stage, dealing with a bug in the boost.m4 for autoconf. The bug was fixed upstream, an there is a pull request open for this alisw/LHAPDF#1

I would appreciate very much if the two issues would get solved (pull requests merged).

@mfasDa: very good. I think these problems should be linked/duplicated in the alidist repo. @dberzano : What do you think?

from aliceo2.

@mfasDa : I opened a PR from your branch into alisw/pythia6. Please follow up the other issue independently.

Adding @qgp to the loop, he's taking care of this part.
