Compilation failed with -Werror=uninitialized

@Robbie

GCC-10 is available in the repositories, but attempting to use it causes cmake to fail

Hmm, yeah it looks like it’s using a different version of the standard library (or something like that).

@Robbie

I’ve also tried using Clang

Even worse, it’s failing to compile code that is should have no problem with, not sure why.

@john.cannon

I just downloaded Boost 1.76 and compiled GPlates (using the same source code as you, assuming you got it from this thread) on Ubuntu 21.04 using gcc 10.3. It compiled and ran.

I just installed gcc-11 (so switching from gcc 10.3 to 11.0.1) so that I have similar compiler to your original post (ie, gcc 11.x). I now get the original compile errors you got (in GeometryDistance.cc). So I’ll see if I can work around that error and then send you the working source code that should hopefully work with your original compiler (gcc 11.1.0). I’ll keep you posted.
