XRT not compiling on Ubuntu 23.10 about xrt HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi,

you can find the officially supported operating systems in UG1451. Here is the document for the newest XRT 2023.2 (not yet officially released?): https://docs.xilinx.com/r/en-US/ug1451-xrt-release-notes

As you can see, only LTS releases of Ubuntu are supported and it was more or less a lucky coincidence that Ubuntu 23.04 worked for you. I'm just another user like you and not affiliated with Xilinx, but maybe this clarifies things a little.

Best regards.

Hi!
Thank you for pointing me to the release notes.
Yes, I know it is not supported, but I just™ need it to work™, not to be supported™. ;-)
It looks more like an incorrect source file exposed by a modern compiler rather than by a newer OS version per se.
So this is basic code hygiene for an open source project.
I am trying to help an internal AMD research project involving FPGA, AIE and GPU, so the more planets are aligned, better it has chances to work.

While #7841 solved the compilation issue, I still have an error during the packaging phase:

For now I ended up to use the workaround of having

SET(CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS "NO

on line https://github.com/Xilinx/XRT/blob/master/src/CMake/cpackLin.cmake#L69

Thanks for fixing this.
Now it is time to figure out the failures with Linux 6.8...
