[Compilation on macOS] Unidentified CXX compiler version
I would like to report some testings on macOS. Following the installation guides to install KMCLib
via clang
+ MPI
on macOS 10.15 throws unsupported compiler error.
Steps to reproduce
- System: macOS 10.15, AppleClang 11.0 (Clang 3.9)
- MPI version: open-mpi 4.0.3 based on clang-3.9 (distributed via Homebrew)
-Running command under the
c++/build
directory:
CC=clang CXX="clang++ -stdlib=libc++" cmake -DMPI=mpicxx ..
- Error message:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:103 (message):
Invalid CXX compiler. Only g++, Intel and Clang supported
Possible causes
The newest version of open-mpi based on clang is recognized as System CXX compiler with MPI wrapping
by CMake, which makes the rules in CMakeLists
invalid.
Possible solutions
Update CMakeLists.txt so that when user puts CXX=mpicxx it can automatically recognise the MPI option.
