Hello Guix,
Knee deep in CMake hell here and would appreciate a helping hand. ArrayFire
build is defeating me:
CMake Error at
/gnu/store/ygab8v4ci9iklaykapq52bfsshpvi8pw-cmake-minimal-3.24.2/share/cmake-3.24/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:3269
(message):
error: could not find git for fetch of af_forge-populate
Call Stack (most recent call first):
/gnu/store/ygab8v4ci9iklaykapq52bfsshpvi8pw-cmake-minimal-3.24.2/share/cmake-3.24/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:4171
(_ep_add_update_command)
CMakeLists.txt:13 (ExternalProject_Add)
Apparently, some of the build dependencies get automatically cloned, but I'm
unable to make heads or tails of how to work around this. The
`af_forge-populate` makes it look like it's related to Forge, but "ArrayFire
also requires Forge but this is a submodule and will be checkout during
submodule initilization stage. AF_BUILD_FORGE cmake option has to be turned on
to build graphics support," so I'm stumped.
I need this soon for a project and am willing to pay someone to take this over.
Here are the official build instructions:
https://github.com/arrayfire/arrayfire/wiki/Build-Instructions-for-Linux
In fact, there's a 2016 thread where Dennis Mungai claims to have successfully
gotten ArrayFire packaged on Guix: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/23055. However,
that appears to have never resulted in a patch.
Thoughts?
