Description

Stack build should use system installations of products that may be reasonably expected to be available on each system.

The stack should contain:
  • GCC 6.4.0, 7.2.0
  • Clang 5.0.0
  • CMake >= 3.9
  • git >= 2.10
  • gdb >= 8.0
  • valgrind >=3.13.0 (will need develop for High Sierra)
  • Lmod
  • Python 2.7.14

The current recipe for GDB stops at 7.12. GDB 8 must be built with GCC 4.8 or later, which will require measures in the recipe to accommodate.

Risk items:

  • Python depends on SQLite, and was not a part of the basic stack in the UPS world. This has implications for environment setup in multi-release installations.
  • GDB 8.0 on systems with older native compilers.
  • git recipe requires enhancements for system gettext.
  • Valgrind on recent MacOS systems.
  • The particular build parameters for the compilers may have implications for downstream milestones and may need to be revisited as we build a working system.
