Xgboost: g++: error: libgomp.spec: No such file or directory

[hx364]

Hi folks,

I am trying to install xgboost on my window7-64 bit machine. It kept encoutering this problem. Not sure what I should do.
I did exactly as the thread http://xgboost.readthedocs.org/en/latest/build.html. And also renamed the mingw32-make.exe to make. exe. I am using the TDM-GCC compiler. The full error message is:

Thanks, any help appreciated.

libgomp is needed for OpenMP support, so I think your compiler might not have good support for OpenMP.

I got similar error:

ared -o lib/libxgboost.dll build/leg++: error: libgomp.spec: No such file or dir
ectory

on windows x64, using TDM-GCC compiler

I found out that, it's due to the default installation of TDM-GCC is without openmp support. So you could reinstalled TDM-GCC and make sure you check the gcc option and select the openmp like below.
It solved my problem.
