Problem compiling HE-Transformer

[drucker-nir]

Hello,

I am trying to build HE-transformer for several days now, but I fail to do so.

I tried using several approaches and every approach seems to take around 5 hours, can you please advise me on the best and fastest way to build HE-Transformer?

What I did?

1. On a Linux Ubuntu 19, x86-64, platform: I followed the steps listed on the README file directly. I tried using different compilers GCC, clang-9/10/12 but the compilation of (usually Tensorflow) always failed.
2. I tried using the make check_gcc and make check_clang scripts. However, both failed to compile.
3. I tried using the dockers of MarbleHE/SoK, these are artifacts of the SoK: Fully Homomorphic Encryption Tools & Compilers paper - no luck. After carefully reading their docker code, I observed that they hacked the HE-Transformer Cmake system. Later on, I noticed in their wiki that -

nGraphHE... does not compile ;)

4. I tried building the Ubuntu18 docker on a Linux laptop and also on a Windows laptop with docker support for Linux through VMM - success on both.
5. Then I tried again following the README instructions. At first, I received:

CMakeFiles/ext_boost.dir/build.make:97: recipe for target 'boost/src/ext_boost-stamp/ext_boost-download' failed
make[2]: *** [boost/src/ext_boost-stamp/ext_boost-download] Error 1
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:420: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/ext_boost.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/ext_boost.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Switched to a new branch '3.4.5'

I reran make install and received

Rerunning make install again results in:

[ 40%] Completed 'ext_ngraph'

make: *** [all] Error 2

In the next attempts I always got the same error:

I would really appreciate help on how to proceed.

1. problem with the [boost] part might be solved by predownloaded to a file and drag it to the destination file "~\build\boost\src\ext_boost"

The second part might be solved by changing the download link from https to the SSH
