Compiler error from calling private constructor

Palabos General
#1

I have a newly installed version of palabos and I am getting an error when I try to compile the cavity2D example (with both g++ and mpicxx). I am using Mac OS Catalina and get the following error:

In file included from cavity2d.cpp:43:

std::__1::default_delete<plb::MultiScalarField2D > >’
return result;

I am trying to understand if there is something wrong with xCode or if I need to modify something in the data processor

hello,

you probably need to specify that you want to compile for c++ 11. Adding an option like -std=c++11 should do it.

Orestis,

Thank you. I added the flag for specifying the c++ standard to the compile flags line in the makefile:

compileFlags = -DPLB_MAC_OS_X -std=c++11
