Hello Jesus,
Just to be certain: The error occurs while CMake is running, not during the "make" process, doesn't it?
I do not have any immediate answer, only some suggestions for further experiments.
- What happens if you leave out the -DMPI_C/CXX_COMPILER=... arguments to CMake?
- If that does not help, if you use -Dwith-mpi=OFF?
- Since you use Conda, can you add the following at the beginning of the CMake invocation
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<path to conda installation>/envs/python_for_nest cmake ...
- Could I ask why you mix the module system (gsl, openmpi) and conda (python)? Would there be any way to avoid this?
When reporting on more results, can you also include the output CMake prints to the terminal? That makes it easier to see where in the CMake process things go wrong—the
CMake log-file is not very readable ;).
Best regards,
Hans Ekkehard

Subject: [NEST Users] NEST Compilation Issue on openSUSE Machine - Missing <mach-o/dyld.h> Header
Dear NEST Community,
I hope this email finds you well. I am encountering some challenges
while attempting to compile the NEST simulator on an openSUSE machine. I
am using the provided CMake command, which has worked successfully on my
Ubuntu machine with the required libraries and environment loaded.
However, on the openSUSE machine, the compilation process fails with an
error related to the <mach-o/dyld.h> header, which seems specific to macOS.
The CMake command I am using is as follows:
```
conda activate python_for_nest
module load gsl/2.6 openmpi/cxx-4.1.1
cmake -Dwith-python=ON \
-Dwith-gsl=ON \
-Dwith-openmp=ON \
-DMPI_CXX_COMPILER=$(which mpic++) \
-DMPI_C_COMPILER=$(which mpicc) \
-Dwith-mpi=ON \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=${PREFIX} ${SRC}
```
The error messages I encounter during the compilation are as follows,
all mach-related:
```
Building C object CMakeFiles/cmTC_4dc4e.dir/HAVE_MACH_O_DYLD_H.c.o
/usr/bin/cc -o CMakeFiles/cmTC_4dc4e.dir/HAVE_MACH_O_DYLD_H.c.o -c
/home/espinoza/opt/nest/master/nest-simulator-build/CMakeFiles/CheckIncludeFiles/HAVE_MACH_O_DYLD_H.c
/home/espinoza/opt/nest/master/nest-simulator-build/CMakeFiles/CheckIncludeFiles/HAVE_MACH_O_DYLD_H.c:2:10:

| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
gmake[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/cmTC_4dc4e.dir/build.make:85:

„/home/espinoza/opt/nest/master/nest-simulator-build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp“

gmake: *** [Makefile:140: cmTC_4dc4e/fast] Fehler 2
```
From my understanding, `<mach-o/dyld.h>` is primarily used for macOS,
and its absence on openSUSE is causing the compilation error.
I kindly request any hint or advice for resolving this issue. Is there
any way I can modify the CMake command or the environment to ensure
successful compilation on the openSUSE machine? Additionally, if there
are any specific libraries or configurations that need to be adjusted
for openSUSE, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.
To further investigate the issue, I will attach the `CMakeError.log` and
`CMakeOutput.log` files to this email.
Thank you very much for your time and support. Any insights or
suggestions you can provide will be invaluable in resolving this problem.
Best regards,
Jesús Espinoza
