### Steps to reproduce the issue
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ spack install <spec> # Fill in the exact spec you are using
|
|
... # and the relevant part of the error message
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Platform and user environment
|
|
|
|
Please report your OS here:
|
|
```commandline
|
|
$ uname -a
|
|
Linux nuvolari 4.15.0-29-generic #31-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 17 15:39:52 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
|
|
$ lsb_release -d
|
|
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
|
|
```
|
|
and, if relevant, post or attach:
|
|
|
|
- `packages.yaml`
|
|
- `compilers.yaml`
|
|
|
|
to the issue
|
|
|
|
### Additional information
|
|
|
|
Sometimes the issue benefits from additional details. In these cases there are
|
|
a few things we can suggest doing. First of all, you can post the full output of:
|
|
```console
|
|
$ spack spec --install-status <spec>
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
to show people whether Spack installed a faulty software or if it was not able to
|
|
build it at all.
|
|
|
|
If your build didn't make it past the configure stage, Spack as also commands to parse
|
|
logs and report error and warning messages:
|
|
```console
|
|
$ spack log-parse --show=errors,warnings <file-to-parse>
|
|
```
|
|
You might want to run this command on the `config.log` or any other similar file
|
|
found in the stage directory:
|
|
```console
|
|
$ spack location -s <spec>
|
|
```
|
|
In case in `config.log` there are other settings that you think might be the cause
|
|
of the build failure, you can consider attaching the file to this issue.
|
|
|
|
Rebuilding the package with the following options:
|
|
```console
|
|
$ spack -d install -j 1 <spec>
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
will provide additional debug information. After the failure you will find two files in the current directory:
|
|
|
|
1. `spack-cc-<spec>.in`, which contains details on the command given in input
|
|
to Spack's compiler wrapper
|
|
1. `spack-cc-<spec>.out`, which contains the command used to compile / link the
|
|
failed object after Spack's compiler wrapper did its processing
|
|
|
|
You can post or attach those files to provide maintainers with more information on what
|
|
is causing the failure.
