Build KLayout 0.25 on macOS

edited April 2017 in KLayout Support

Hi,

I am trying to build the latest version of KLayout from your Git on macOS Sierra. I am trying to build this using QT5 support (since retina screens are supported in QT5). However, I am struggling to build this version on macOS. I had no trouble building it on a Ubuntu box, however, on my mac system, it stops building and gives the following error:

../klayout/src/gsi/gsiClass.h:256:24: error: 'take_object' following the 'template' keyword does not refer to a template
return from.template take_object ();

../klayout/src/gsi/gsiClass.h:256:35: error: expected unqualified-id
return from.template take_object ();
../klayout/src/gsi/gsiClass.h:256:36: error: 'X' does not refer to a value
return from.template take_object ();
../klayout/src/gsi/gsiClass.h:253:17: note: declared here
template
../klayout/src/gsi/gsiClass.h:256:40: error: expected expression
return from.template take_object ();

I tried to build both using Apple's build-in clang, as well as a homebrew version of gcc/g++, but both give this error. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

    Hi nicoh,

    which clang and gcc version are you using?

    You can try to delete the "template" keyword. That may break the build on other systems, so I have to check that for other compilers.

    P.S. please don't expect the master on GitHub to be stable.

    Hi Matthias,

    Thanks for your comment. I am using Apple LLVM version 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.41) and also i have tried gcc 6.3.0.

    What exactly do you mean by 'delete the template keyword'? If I comment out the section of code (253-256) that gives these errors, it will build on for quite some time, before stopping the build at:

    ../klayout/src/db/dbLibraryManager.cc:36:80: error: explicit specialization of 'instance' after instantiation
    template<> DB_PUBLIC tl::Registrar *tl::Registrar::instance = 0;

    I mean:

    replace

    from.template take_object<X> ();
    

    by

    from.take_object<X> ();

    Thanks for the reply. This also does not seem to help:
    ../klayout/src/gsi/gsiClass.h:256:15: error: use of undeclared identifier 'take_object' return from take_object<X> ();
    ../klayout/src/gsi/gsiClass.h:256:27: error: 'X' does not refer to a value return from take_object<X> ();
    ../klayout/src/gsi/gsiClass.h:253:17: note: declared here template <class X>
    ../klayout/src/gsi/gsiClass.h:256:31: error: expected expression return from take_object<X> ();
