Tomahawk crash with "std::regex_error" error

I'm trying to use Tomahawk on CentOS 7. Compilation is successful, but the resulting binary crashes immediately after execution:

$ ./tomahawk
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::regex_error'
  what():  regex_error
zsh: abort      ./tomahawk

I am not using the provided install.sh script, instead using the following library versions as provided by CentOS 7:

  • libcurl-devel-7.29.0-57.el7.x86_64
  • openssl-devel-1.0.2k-19.el7.x86_64
  • htslib-devel-1.9-5.el7.x86_64
  • libzstd-devel-1.4.4-1.el7.x86_64

I notice you're using a specific commit hash for htslib in install.sh. Does tomahawk depend on certain versions of any of these libraries? Thanks!

I had the same issue on CentOS 7. This seems to be a problem when using the default CentOS 7 compiler (gcc 4.8.5), which doesn't fully support regex in c++. Using a more recent compiler built a functional binary for me.

@jeremymcrae you're right. I just tried it with GCC 7.3.1 from devtoolset-7 and now the Tomahawk binary runs. Cheers!
