Error when linking on MacOS

Closed this issue · 6 comments

We have a linking problem on MacOS as the compiler tries to link with the (deprecated) rt library (see attached complete log)

ld: library not found for -lrt <<<<————————————— !!!!

I apologise for the lack of information
We have tried to compile version 3.2.0 and here we got the "ld: library not found for -lrt during the linking phase." error.
However I just tried the 3.1.1 version and it compiles well, either with gcc-9 or Apple clang version 11.0.0
So the problem occurs with the master version

Thanks for reporting.
I removed the -lrt flag and instead added the corresponding test to configure.ac.
Could you check out the master branch and see if the problem is still there? Unfortunately I don't have a machine running MacOS...

Thank you for your work !
Compiling works without any warning
unfortunately I obtain an error during "make check"

BUT ... it works
I tested it like this
src/kalign -i ../UL3_prot_nonparalog_Myco.fst -o ../UL3_prot_nonparalog_Myco.aln
and alignment is correct (8245 sequences of length ~300 AA positions)

Thanks for spotting this! The error was in one of the test drivers not the actual kalign code. I fixed this now (v3.2.2) and added another test.

Great - thanks for getting back to me and I'll keep your offer to test future versions in mind.
