Hi,

I tried to compile mha from source on macOS 11. I installed the required software and packages.
When I try make I get the following error:

Code: Select all

felinemalin@MacBook-Air-von-Malin openMHA % make

make[2]: *** [arm64-Darwin-clang/emxAPI.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arm64-Darwin-clang/libemx.is_installed] Error 2
make: *** [external_libs] Error 2

Could the reason behind this be that this is an M1 MacBook Air, which does not use an Intel processor or could the reason be something different? Do I need to set the variable COMPILEPREFIX in this case?

Best regards,
Steffen

Yes, the configure script is confused. What is the output of

Code: Select all

uname -m

on this computer?

No. Just manually delete the line containing "-mcpu=cortex-a8" from file config.mk.

There may be other problems further into the compilation process. If so, please report them here.

Hi,

thanks for your answer!

from

Code: Select all

uname -m

I got: arm64

Manually deleting the line containing "-mcpu=cortex-a8" from the file config.mk seemed to have solved the issue!

Thanks a lot!

I only get some warnings

Code: Select all

Makefile:84: warning: overriding commands for target `arm64-Darwin-clang/unit-test-runner'
../../rules.mk:97: warning: ignoring old commands for target `arm64-Darwin-clang/unit-test-runner'

Best regards,

Steffen
