Error when compiling in macOS (unsupported option '-static-libgcc')

[apcamargo]

I want to add clusty to conda-forge as an independent package, as it can be very useful for general-purpose clustering. However, I'm getting this error when trying to compile on macOS:

clang: error: unsupported option '-static-libgcc'

Hello!

Due to some reasons, clusty is compiled under macOS in g++ not clang. However, the package was uploded to bioconda some time ago (https://anaconda.org/bioconda/clusty) using precompiled binaries. I'll update it to the latest revision anytime soon.

Best,

Ohh, I see. Do you know if compiling it with newer Clang releases is feasible? conda-forge offers some newer compilers, but I think they don't allow GCC compilation for macOS builds.

I wanted to put Clusty on conda-forge because it could be used for many other applications other than genome clustering. I don't know of any other tool that provides an easy interface for clustering the way Clusty does.

Hello @apcamargo

Sorry for the confusion - it seems that bioconda recipe for Clusty, in contrast to what I said earlier, didn't use precompiled binares. I updated this today: https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/blob/master/recipes/clusty/meta.yaml

Maybe this would be of help.

Best,
Adam
