Trouble building

[wdecoster]

See thread for context https://www.biostars.org/p/227973/#232095

After adding
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++11

I get the following error when running make:

Hello,

Thanks for your issue.

Can you get her :

• Your distribution
• Your kernel version
• Your Qt version

I see on biostars you use the qmake of anaconda, so I suppose you use anaconda (is very good think), but it's not use the last Qt version. Did you install qt with classic package manager ? If yes please replace qmake by /usr/bin/qmake (maybe /usr/bin/qmake-qt5).

If this change didn't solve the issue can you send the Makefile generate by qmake, please (in some distribution qmake generate a bad Makefile).

Thank

Also please, your GCC version.

Looks like the C++11-ABI-compiled object files are linked against a pre-C++11-ABI-libstdc++. Seeing the default for your compiler is -std=gnu++0x, I suspect you're using a pre-C++11-ABI version of GCC (ie < 5.1).

Adding -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 might be a workaround but a compiler update is probably the way to go.

Thanks

I'm using a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS so I would expect that my compiler is quite up to date.
I'm going to reattempt the installation from the beginning.

$gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 5.4.0 20160609
