How to compile manifold on Ubuntu 22.04

[jirihon]

I'm trying to compile manifold so I can prepare proper test for #579. But I'm failing.

I have Ubuntu 22.04.3. After running the following commands recommended in the README,

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/elalish/manifold.git
cd manifold
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON .. && make

I've got errors regarding the thrust library.

I also tried to clone the thrust repository manually by running:

git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/thrust.git

And then calling cmake again with FETCHCONTENT_SOURCE_DIR_THRUST set properly:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DFETCHCONTENT_SOURCE_DIR_THRUST=/home/xhonji01/Plocha/thrust .. && make

This time, it complained about missing libcudacxx package:

  Add the installation prefix of "libcudacxx" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "libcudacxx_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "libcudacxx" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has

I have all the packages installed which are listed in the manifold.yml. I've also installed the nvidia-cuda-toolkit package. But nothing helps. The CMake version is 3.22.1.

Could you please help me with the compilation?

I've also tried the same things on a fresh new VPS with Ubuntu 22.04 but with the same results. Why it works on the CI infrastructure which is also based on Ubuntu 22.04? What am I missing from the manifold.yml?

[pca006132]

thrust recently changed their repo, not sure if it is related

[jirihon]

I don't think this is related as the original repo can still be cloned. Could you please confirm the problem I'm seeing? Do you have access to some Ubuntu machine?

I have almost no experience with CMake and I have also never used thrust library for my development, so I have no idea what to try or install next.

Some time ago I was able to compile manifold (when I worked on the triangulator bindings), but it seems a lot of things changed since then (my setup included).

I don't have access to machines for now, but I will be back to HK in a few days and I can check it for you.

I also tried to clone the thrust repository manually

you should recursively clone thrust. (still have to debug why the fetchcontent doesn't work though)

[jirihon]

Thanks! It compiles.
