Missing target Threads::Threads

[michele-segata]

Hi all,

I was trying to compile sumo on an HPC where I don't have administrative rights, which means I cannot simply install system-wide libraries, but I need to install them locally. I thus only installed XercesC as all the others are not required (GUI for example is useless, we are running simulations on a remote server). While configuring the project, however, I am getting the following errors in the output:

I thought that given that the issue refers to "Threads" it had something to do with FOX, but even installing it and re-running cmake didn't fix the issue. Makefile is anyway generated, but when compiling it fails at linking:

[100%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/sumo.dir/sumo_main.cpp.o
[100%] Linking CXX executable ../../../bin/sumo
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lThreads::Threads
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I get the same problem both with SUMO 1.9.0 and 1.10.0.

You should probably try to enforce pthreads. Can you have a look at the solution provided here: alicevision/geogram#2 ?

Hi Michael,

we tried that but it didn't work. After trying a little bit, we found the following procedure working. Maybe it is of interest for people running simulations on computational machines where they have no admin rights and no need for the GUI.

XercesC

Downloading

cd $HOME/src
wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/xerces/c/3/sources/xerces-c-3.2.3.tar.gz
tar -xf xerces-c-3.2.3.tar.gz

Building and installing it locally

cd $HOME/src/xerces-c-3.2.3
mkdir build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/ ..
cmake --build .
make install

SUMO

Downloading

cd $HOME/src
git clone --recursive https://github.com/eclipse/sumo
cd sumo
git fetch origin refs/replace/*:refs/replace/*

Building using locally installed XercesC library

cd $HOME/src/sumo
export SUMO_HOME=$(pwd)
mkdir build/cmake-build
cd build/cmake-build
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME -D CHECK_OPTIONAL_LIBS=OFF -D PROJ_LIBRARY= -D FOX_CONFIG= ../..
make -j$(nproc)

Great that you could make it work. Another option might be to use the python package eclipse-sumo, see https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/Downloads.php#python_packages_virtual_environments.
