Building Dakota 6.22 from source on Ubuntu 24.04 - make errors

[sitadrost]

As my old Dakota 6.17 install stopped working (probably after upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04), I just tried building Dakota 6.22 from source, following instructions in INSTALL:

1. Downloaded dakota-6.22.0-public-src-cli.tar.gz, and extracted it to my home directory;
2. Re-installed Boost (auto-removed by Ubuntu upon upgrading to 24.04): sudo apt install libboost-all-dev (this installed version 1.83);
3. Checked cmake version: 3.28.3;
4. Created separate build directory, dakota-build;
5. Copied $DAK_SRC/cmake/examples/BuildDakotaTemplate.cmake to $DAK_SRC/cmake/BuildDakotaCustom.cmake, but didn't change anything (yet?);
6. CMake ran successfully (see attached 250805_CMake.log);
7. Make terminated with errors that I didn't understand (see attached 250805_make.log for full output):

Those types are defined in , which is included by dakota_data_types.hpp, which is included by dakota_data_util.hpp. So it "should" work.

Something that looks suspicious to me about your CMake log is that I don't see any detection of the compiler. Did you start from a fresh build folder, or do you possibly have some older stuff left over from a build you did using your previous OS?

[sitadrost]

Yes, I did start from a fresh build folder, after removing the previous install. I just noticed that I'd forgotten to remove the Dakota paths from my .bashrc though, so I retried building, but I'm still getting the same errors.

What compiler should CMake detect? I don't know, but perhaps I'm simply missing that compiler; Ubuntu tends to be somewhat overly zealous when upgrading, so apart from Boost it may have removed all sorts of other useful stuff.

[jadamstephens]

I tried to say yesterday that the types the compiler is complaining about are defined in <cstdint>. I neglected to escape the <> and it didn't render.

On our devel branch, that header is included in dakota_system_defs.hpp, but I just double-checked the 6.22 branch, and it's missing. So, probably if you add it, things will work again.

We've fixed this kind of issue a few times in the last few months and it should have occurred to me right away that this was the problem. For some reason we were getting lucky in the past and these types were defined despite our failure to include the correct header. Something perhaps changed with a newer version of the compiler or libstd++ and our luck ran out.

Brilliant, that did the trick, thanks a million!
