[Users] Trouble compiling OFED 3.12 and 3.18 on RHEL7.1/ CentOS 7.1

[Rupert Dance]

Hi Alexander,

 

1.      OFED 3.12-1 does not support RHEL 7.1

2.      OFED 3.18 should build on RHEL 7.1 but we are still in the process
of resolving a few issues. So here are my suggestions:

a.       Make sure you have not installed IB support when installing RHEL
7.1 or you could get conflicts.

b.      Use the latest OFED 3.18 daily build:
https://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/OFED/ofed-3.18-daily/OFED-3.18-2015051
1-1046.tgz

c.       Check the bugs in OFA Bugzilla:
http://bugs.openfabrics.org/bugzilla/ 

d.      If you still have trouble, please attached the full build logs from
the OFED installation.

 

Thanks

 

Rupert

Hi,

 

I'm having troubles installing OFED 3.12 or 3.18 on RHEL7.1/CentOS7.1. Can
somebody provides hints how I can compile on this platform:

 

Linux 3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Mar 27 03:04:26 UTC 2015 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 

With the latest nightly (3.18, daily from 5/5/15) build I'm getting (under
RHEL 7.1 latest update):

                 from <command-line>:0:

And with 3.12-1 stable:

include/linux/netdevice.h:504:2: error: implicit declaration of function
'smp_mb__before_clear_bit' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

  smp_mb__before_clear_bit();

 

 

In both cases the abort happens when building the compat-rdma module.

 

I'm compiling with -with-xeon-phi, option, but even without this option I'm
running into this issue.

 

Many thanks for your help!
