I believe most of our scripts depend on bash and not just a POSIX-compilant shell. If we haven't adapted them to say so explicitly, we probably should.

Is there a separate 'cpp' package containing the C preprocessor on Alpine Linux, separate from the C and C++ compilers? I'm not familiar with that distribution.

It seems like cpp (/usr/bin/cpp) is part of the gcc package:

https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/contents?file=cpp&path=&name=gcc&branch=edge&repo=main&arch=x86_64

I'm just surprised that when I install bash, I still get the busybox shell running it:

bash-4.3# echo $SHELL

/bin/ash

bash-4.3# ls -l /bin/ash

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            12 Apr  1 18:56 /bin/ash -> /bin/busybox

It's an Alpine linux with the following packages above the minimal base system: bash, m4, file, git, cmake, gfortran, gcc, g++, make, perl, grep, boost-dev zlib-dev, libexecinfo-dev. (Attempting to build minimal, fully statically linked executables, based on musl-libc instead of glibc, inside a docker container.)

I'm suspecting it is a shell issue, since on this system /bin/sh points to /bin/busybox, even after installing bash and attempting the run the build inside bash and still fails with the same error. What shell features does the build script rely on?

I'm not sure if this is of any help, but this used to work on a fairly old Charm++, released around Jun, 2015.

What operating system and version is that? Does it have whatever standard packages for development utilities installed (e.g. build-essential on Debian derivatives)?

Hi folks,

Building charm++, using the follwing command:

$ build;charm++;mpi-linux-x86_64;mpicxx;--disable-charmdebug;-j36;-O3 -DNDEBUG"

I'm getting this error:

../bin/charmc: eval: line 1: /lib/cpp: not found

Fatal Error by charmc in directory /quinoa/tpl/install/gnu-x86_64/charm/mpi-linux-x86_64-mpicxx/tmp

   Command /lib/cpp -P -DNDEBUG ckcallback.ci returned error code 2

charmc exiting...

Does someone have a clue what could be the problem?

Please let me know what other information I can give you to diagnose the problem.

Thanks,

Jozsef
