As cited on the issue, between Slurm 23.02 and 23.11 the defined type `hostlist_t` was changed by the developers. Prior to 23.11 it was an opaque pointer to a hostlist_t data structure; in 23.11 it is the data structure itself. This means that all hostlist API functions changed, as well, to directly use `hostlist_t*` arguments instead of `hostlist_t` arguments. The snodelist code was written against pre-23.11 releases of Slurm where `hostlist_t` is an opaque pointer. So in post-23.11 situations — where it's a data structure, not a pointer — the compilation fails because there is no definition of `struct hostlist` present in the header.
Very annoying, but I added a version-based adaptation in the source to get around it. Should compile on 23.11 and newer now...unless there are other big changes they made to the API :-) > On Jan 7, 2025, at 14:45, Ole Holm Nielsen <ole.h.niel...@fysik.dtu.dk> wrote: > > Hi Jeffrey, > > We run Slurm 24.05.5.
