Description ppdplayer 2021-05-03 17:35:23 UTC
sci-libs/tensorflow fails to build a external dependency that doesn't define <limits>

This blocks gcc-11.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 kfm 2021-09-05 19:32:30 UTC
I have committed versions 1.15.5-r2 and 2.5.0-r2 to my repo:-

https://codeberg.org/kerframil/portage-overlay/src/commit/e2bf96c/sci-libs/tensorflow

Both should build successfully with gcc-11, though I have only tested 1.15.5-r2 so far (2.5.0-r2 testing is presently underway).
Comment 3 kfm 2021-09-05 20:27:09 UTC
As far as 2.5.0 is concerned, bazel also requires patching. So far, I've only fixed bazel-0.27.2 but will work on the other versions soon.

Can I tempt you into offering a patch for ::gentoo for TF now Bazel is fixed (thanks to you)?

Yes, though 2.5.0-r2 still doesn't built yet. It shouldn't be too difficult to resolve, though. I'll report back in due course.

Note that I don't use CUDA and have only tested with the python USE flag enabled.

Re-attaching the patch. It's the same, only this bug is now referenced by the commit message.

    sci-libs/tensorflow: build with -std=c++14 in 2.5.0-r1
    
    TensorFlow is not yet compatible with the C++17 dialect. Allow it to
    build with gcc:11 by appending -std=c++14 to CXXFLAGS, prior to composing
    bazelrc. The flag doesn't encompass the building of the ruy library, so
    this is accompanied by a patch to include the <limits> header in the one
    place that ruy needs it.
    
    Filter out the -fvtable-verify=@(std|preinit) flag, if present. While
    ostensibly useful for hardening, it prevents TensorFlow from building
    successfully. Note that, while the pattern is in the form of an
    extglob, the accompanying shopt does _not_ need to be enabled.
    
    Have src_install localise "l", rather than "j", because the function in
    question never employs the latter.

Bug predates dev-libs/boost-1.77.0 version bump.
