Compiling with Ninja fails

[mrmayor02]

I'm currently trying to install su2 by building from source. Per instructions, i run ./meson.py setup build and then ./ninja -C build install. However, I get the response 23 warnings and 1 error generated. ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. I have tried both cloning and downloading the zip and tar files from the download site. Any help to fix?

Is it because of #2699 ?
Paste the error and warnings.

I pasted the entire output from the build in this text document (because there were too many characters for the reply):
su2-error.rtf

This was directly using the $ git clone command as well as extracting the .tar. Originally, when i directly downloaded the binary files and tried to build from that, I would get that error in #2699.

Looks like a problem with boost. I found that this is probably due to your version being < 1.82 . Try installing a more recent boost version.

Someone that I know with SU2 experience did the fix for me.

He ran ./meson.py setup build --reconfigure -Denable-tecio=false --prefix=`pwd` to disable tecio after using ./meson.py command, then using ninja to build after, it worked perfectly. But tecio was the problem in this compilation
