Can't compile on many non-x86 architectures
mr-c opened this issue · comments
Hello,
rhdf5filters was recently packaged for Debian as https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/r-bioc-rhdf5filters
We were unable to compile on many non-x86 architectures as they seem to lack the gcc __builtin_cpu_init function which is required by tools/ax_gcc_x86_cpu_supports.m4
to test for SSE2 support.
As a workaround we are passing --configure-args="ax_cv_gcc_check_x86_cpu_init=yes ax_cv_gcc_x86_cpu_supports_sse2=no"
to `R CMD INSTALL on non x86-64 architectures.
Perhaps this could be fixed so that non-Debian users won't have this issue.
