Issues with source installations

[tianranc]

With the updates that Sergei made to the code, my Source Installations still won't complete and now stop at 61%.

For cmake, I did the following (no issues in this step):

cmake -S alps-src -B alps-build                   \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/chengroup/Documents/alps-install         \
    -DBoost_SRC_DIR=/Users/chengroup/Documents/boost_1_88_0 \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-stdlib=libc++ -DBOOST_NO_AUTO_PTR             \
    -DBOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_CXX20_ATOMIC_REF"   \
    -DPYTHON_EXTRA_LIBS="-ldl -framework CoreFoundation -arch arm64"

No errors occurred here, went through.
For Python, mine refers to: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.13/bin
For Boost, I'm using 1_88_0.

Then, when I ran cmake --build alps-build -j 8 (tried -j 1 as well), it stopped at 61%, with error messages I attached the screenshots below:

Any insights on what I could possibly do to fix this bug?

Thanks for filing a bug. The log doesn't show the actual problem. please just retry with cmake --build alps-build -j 1 starting from the current state. This will give a shorter log. Paste that log here and make sure we see the line that says 'error'.

With cmake --build alps-build -j 1, here are the screenshots of all 16 errors (hope that's not too much):

OK that makes a lot of sense. Your compiler complains that some of the obscure boost template functions (is_same, add_const, etc) have migrated from boost to std.
Your boost version is 1_88_0. What is your compiler version? (you can see the compiler that is invoked by typing 'EXPORT VERBOSE=1' on the command line before you run cmake. You then need to check the version of that compiler by invoking it with --version).

[egull]

I may be on the wrong track. In our workflow file we tested against boost 1_88 on ubuntu:
- { os: ubuntu-24.04, target: "", comp_pack: "clang-18", c_compiler: clang, cxx_compiler: clang++, c_version: 18, py_version: "3.12", boost_version: 88}

...possible though that you're using an even newer compiler.

[tianranc]

Here's what I checked:
My make version: GNU Make 3.81
cmake version: 4.0.3
clang version: 15.0.0

[egull]

Nothing suspicious here. Show us please how you invoke your compiler. For this, first type

export VERBOSE=1

followed by

cmake --build alps-build -j 1

...and show us the command line.

[tianranc]

Is this what we wanted to see?

Some updates. I tried an older version of Boost, 1_87_0, and it worked! The build part all went through this time, and then I installed the alps code. I didn't change anything else.

I initially tried to use Boost 1_81_0, but my numpy is > 2.0, so it wouldn't allow that. Didn't test any version between 1_81_0 and 1_87_0.
