Cannot build the app

[notooth1]

I got some errors when building the app on AlmaLinux 8.8. Can you help?

Hi,

This app is very old and currently does not even support the new gguf formats of llama2. I would highly recommend you to use the llama.cpp from https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp instead. The llama.cpp ./main program now has many features it did not have when I started this.

But if you still want to try building this I have a guess:

I'm not entirely sure why it cannot find the libraries. Maybe you could try to comment line 102 from CMakeLists.txt and try building again. Then it should ignore the static libs:

        set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -static")
