我正在尝试按照指南在我的 mac (osx 10.12.1) 上安装 xgboosthere http://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build.html#building-on-osx但我遇到了一些问题。

Step1

获取带有 openmp 支持的 gcc-6.x.xbrew install gcc --without-multilib

Terminal

Ben$ brew install gcc --without-multilib
Error: gcc-5.3.0 already installed
To install this version, first `brew unlink gcc`

Ben$ brew unlink gcc
Unlinking /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/5.3.0... 1288 symlinks removed

Ben$ brew install gcc --without-multilib
[26 minutes later]
==> Summary
????  /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/6.2.0: 1,358 files, 238.3M, built in 26 minutes 20 seconds

Step2

克隆存储库git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost

Terminal

Ben$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost

Submodule path 'rabit': checked out 'a9a2a69dc1144180a43f7d2d1097264482be7817'

Step3

使用以下命令构建cd xgboost; cp make/config.mk ./config.mk; make -j4

注意：如果您使用 OSX El Capitan，brew 将安装 gcc 最新版本 gcc-6。所以你可能需要修改Makefile#L46并将gcc-5更改为gcc-6。之后，在 make/config.mk 中将 gcc-5/g++-5 更改为 gcc-6/g++-6，然后使用以下命令进行构建

嗯。不完全确定在这里做什么。我看到里面有一个名为“Makefile”的文件xgboost/。在里面我看到很多我不明白的东西，但这些线看起来相关

生成文件（片段）

# on Mac OS X, force brew gcc-6, since the Xcode c++ fails anyway
# it is useful for pip install compiling-on-the-fly
OS := $(shell uname)
ifeq ($(OS), Darwin)
export CC = $(if $(shell which gcc-6),gcc-6,$(if $(shell which gcc-mp-6), gcc-mp-6, clang))
export CXX = $(if $(shell which g++-6),g++-6,$(if $(shell which g++-mp-6),g++-mp-6, clang++))
endif

忽略这一点并继续前进......

Terminal

Ben$ cd xgboost; cp make/config.mk ./config.mk; make -j4

第四步（说明here http://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build.html#r-package-installation?)

如果您想使用最新的 xgboost 版本并且已经 编译xgboost，使用library(devtools); install('xgboost/R-package')手动安装 xgboost 软件包（相应地将路径更改为 你编译 xgboost 的地方）。

新 R 会话

library(devtools)
install("/Users/Ben/xgboost/R-package")

失败:(我哪里出错了？

更新的解决方案

截至 2019 年 3 月，R 版本 3.5.3，xgboost 版本 0.82.0.1，自从我的旧答案以来，事情已经发生了变化。以下步骤基于安装指南在这里 https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build.html，但略有不同。

1. brew install cmake or brew upgrade cmake (cmake --version对我来说显示 3.14.0）
2. brew install gcc or brew upgrade gcc（注意安装的 gcc 版本。它应该位于/usr/local/bin。我得到 gcc 8.3.0 (gcc-8 --version))
3. cd some/unimportant/directory
4. git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost
5. cd xgboost/
6. mkdir build
7. cd build
8. CC=gcc-8 CXX=g++-8 cmake .. -DR_LIB=ON
9. make -j4
10. sudo make install

现在重新启动/刷新 RStudio，它应该已安装

在 R 中测试

set.seed(222)
N <- 2*10^5
p <- 350
x <- matrix(rnorm(N  * p), ncol = p)
y <- rnorm(N)

system.time(mymodel <- xgboost(
  # nthread = 4,
  data = x,
  label = y, 
  nrounds = 5, 
  objective = "reg:linear", 
  tree_method = "exact",
  max_depth = 10,
  min_child_weight = 1, 
  eta = 1, 
  subsample = 0.66, 
  colsample_bytree = 0.33
))

# Tested on 2018 MPB, xgboost version 0.82.0.1, multi-threaded version
# nthread = default:   7.4 seconds (elapsed)
# nthread = 1:        24.0 seconds (elapsed)
# nthread = 2:        13.7 seconds (elapsed)
# nthread = 4:         7.5 seconds (elapsed)

旧答案

令人惊奇的是，在 StackOverflow 上写下你的问题通常会直接引导你找到答案。花了几个小时后，我发现我需要更改这三行~/.R/Makevars

CC=gcc-5
CXX=g++-5
CXX1X = g++-5

to

CC=gcc-6
CXX=g++-6
CXX1X = g++-6

另外，我最终从“drat”存储库安装了 xgboost

install.packages("drat", repos="https://cran.rstudio.com")
drat:::addRepo("dmlc")
install.packages("xgboost", repos="http://dmlc.ml/drat/", type = "source")
