Hi all, I'm working on packaging Caffe[1], a deep learning framework. Now the packaging is done and I'm solving its FTBFS issue, which is the only blocker for ITP process. However I have trouble solving this FTBFS issue, so post a message for help.
Packaging work is stored at [2]. According to my README.Debian, two caffe software suites should be compiled. One of them is "caffe-cpu", which is free of FTBFS. Well, the package suite really in trouble is "caffe-cuda", so let's ignore things about "caffe-cpu". In my fuzzy memory, 1 month ago "caffe-cuda" passed the build on a Debian testing machine (wich gcc-4.9 and CUDA 6.5 from experimental), but at the same time it FTBFS on DeboMatic-amd64. Now CUDA 6.5 transition is done, and the FTBFS emerges on my Debian Sid system. The exact reason of FTBFS is things like e.g.: ``` /usr/include/glog/logging.h:672: undefined reference to `google::base::CheckOpMessageBuilder::NewString()' CMakeFiles/caffe.bin.dir/caffe.cpp.o: In function `std::string* google::MakeCheckOpString<float, int>(float const&, int const&, char const*)': /usr/include/glog/logging.h:672: undefined reference to `google::base::CheckOpMessageBuilder::NewString()' ../lib/libcaffe.so.0: undefined reference to `google::protobuf::Message::InitializationErrorString() const' ../lib/libcaffe.so.0: undefined reference to `google::protobuf::internal::WireFormatLite::WriteStringMaybeAliased(int, std::string const&, google::protobuf::io::CodedOutputStream*)' ../lib/libcaffe.so.0: undefined reference to `google::protobuf::io::CodedOutputStream::WriteStringWithSizeToArray(std::string const&, unsigned char*)' ``` and the corresponding compiling command line is: ``` cd /tmp/caffe/caffe_cuda_build/tools && /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/caffe.bin.dir/link.txt --verbose=1 /usr/bin/g++-4.9 -g -O2 -fPIE -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fPIC -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-uninitialized -O3 -DNDEBUG -fPIE -pie -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -Wl,--as-needed CMakeFiles/caffe.bin.dir/caffe.cpp.o -o caffe -rdynamic ../lib/libcaffe.so.0 ../lib/libproto.a -Wl,--start-group -lboost_system -lboost_thread -lpthread -lpthread -lglog -lgflags -lprotobuf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/lib/libhdf5_hl.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/lib/libhdf5.so -lpthread -lpthread -lglog -lgflags -lprotobuf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/lib/libhdf5_hl.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/lib/libhdf5.so -lz -ldl -lm -llmdb -lleveldb -lsnappy -lcudart -lcurand -lcublas /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopencv_highgui.so.2.4.9 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopencv_imgproc.so.2.4.9 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopencv_core.so.2.4.9 -lopenblas -lpython2.7 -lboost_python -Wl,--end-group ``` For full buildlog see [3]. the build platform is Debian Sid + gcc 4.9 + CUDA 6.5 . (CUDA 6.5 refuses to work with gcc > 4.9) I've tried several measures to handle this "undefined reference issue" however none of them works, I'll list them FYI: (I'm quite sure those symbols in need is indeed included in command line) 1. strip all harden flags and all optimize flags. such as deleting args introduced by hardening=+all, and deleting -O2 ... etc. [no difference at all] 2. enclose libs between "-Wl,--start-group" and "-Wl,--end-group" [no difference at all] 3. randomly exchange the order of libs between "-Wl,--start-group" and "-Wl,--end-group" [error message differs but is still undefined reference] And here are some notable points: 1. I'm doing linking with gcc/g++ 4.9 on libXXXv5 libraries. However when my caffe-cuda build succeed on testing machine (gcc-4.9 + CUDA 6.5), gcc is linking ELFs against libXXX rather than libXXXv5. I don't know if gcc-5 libs is root of trouble. 2. Caffe build under ArchLinux hardly fails. GCC 5.1 + CUDA 7.0 [ok] GCC 5.2 + CUDA 7.5 [ok] (freshly built yesterday) While under Debian (I have built Caffe many many times so memory is a bit fuzzy) GCC 4.4 + CUDA 6.0 + no_v5libs [OK, then GCC 4.4 was removed from Sid] (fuzzy memory) GCC 4.8 + CUDA 6.0 + no_v5libs [if it succeed I won't struggle for so long ] GCC 4.9 + CUDA 6.0 + no_v5libs [if it succeed I won't struggle for so long ] GCC 5.1 + CUDA 6.0 + no_v5libs [CUDA refuse to work with gcc > 4.9 ] GCC 4.8 + CUDA 6.5 + v5libs [Fail] (fuzzy memory) GCC 4.9 + CUDA 6.5 + v5libs [ Fail with undefined reference, CURRENT ] GCC 5.2 + CUDA 6.5 + v5libs [CUDA refuse to work with gcc > 4.9] While the caffe-cpu GCC 4.8 / 4.9 / 5.1 / 5.2 [ all success ] 3. libcaffe.so depends on glog, gflags and [...] In the failed compiling command line, the output ELF file "caffe" should be linked to libcaffe.so and glog, gflags and [...] In summary, I've nearly ran out of means. And I'm thinking if I should temporarily comment caffe-cuda out, letting caffe-cpu work first, and wait for a day when caffe-cuda can pass the build. Any comment is appreciated.
