Hi all!

I’m attempting to build the MPAS-JEDI bundle outside of a container because of some requirements and I’m encountering errors while doing so.

When the make process gets to OOPS (~58% completion), it terminated with several similar errors:  
``  
CMakeFiles/test\_assimilation\_solvematrixequation.dir/test/assimilation/SolveMatrixEquation.cc.o: In function `eckit::AssertionFailed::~AssertionFailed()’:

/home/user/jedi/mpas-bundle/eckit/src/eckit/exception/Exceptions.h:46: undefined reference to `operator delete(void\*, unsigned long)’  
``

Since this operator was introduced with C++14, I have been looking at the C++ versioning angle:

I’m using the Release build option, and I have `-DBUNDLE_SKIP_*` turned off, i.e. not skipping eckit etc and compiling them with this process. CXX\_STANDARD is set to 14, and I can confirm --c++14 flags are used at least when oops is being compiled. I’m using MPI-wrapped pgcc/pgc++ 19.7

Couple of routes I have attempted to resolve the error:

- eckit is compiled with C++11, but attempts to compile eckit with 14 have been unsuccessful.
- Later versions of eckit also only compiles with C++11 (while also seem to be causing other issues with the bundle)
- Downgrading everything to 11 by setting CMAKE\_CXX\_STANDARD=11 is also unsuccessful

Any suggestions on what else to try?

Thanks!

Problem resolved.

Looks like this is due to the GCC backing the PGI compiler on our system is too old and C++14 is not fully supported as a result.

There could be an issue with OOPS compiling against Eigen 3.4.0. Downgrading back to 3.3.7 resolved the issue.
