lsdalton 2018 build error - missing xcfun

[mikep219]

I'm following the build instruction posted here: https://gitlab.com/dalton/lsdalton/blob ... /README.md along with a very vanilla build (e.g. just running "./setup". After setup is run and I cd into the build directory, the make command fails quicky with:

=====
Scanning dependencies of target xcfun
[ 1%] Creating directories for 'xcfun'
[ 1%] Performing download step for 'xcfun'

[ 2%] No patch step for 'xcfun'
[ 2%] No update step for 'xcfun'
[ 2%] Performing configure step for 'xcfun'
CMake Error: The source directory "/mmfs1/shared_apps/packages/src/lsdalton/lsdalton/external/xcfun" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
make[2]: *** [external/xcfun-stamp/xcfun-configure] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/xcfun.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
=====

Looking at the contents of the external/ directory I can see 8 subdirectories, but only the ls-openrsp subdirectory has any contents. Can someone advise?

Thanks,
Mike

How did you get the code in the first place, via a git clone? I use (full disclosure: I know less than nothing about git... And I'm not an LSDalton developer, only Dalton.)
git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/dalton/lsdalton.git
and I have had trouble in the past with otherwise not getting the "external" routines.

If this was the git command you used, then sorry, I have no other suggestions, but I would guess someone from the LSDalton mob will.

Best regards

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm afraid it didn't work. I found mention of the use of --recursive on another build guide page here: https://gitlab.com/dalton/lsdalton/tree/release/2018

That includes several git commands:

git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/dalton/lsdalton.git

and (after cd'ing into the lsdalton directory that command creates) further running:

git checkout v2018.0
git submodule update

After running "./setup" and then "cd build; make" the compilation fails at the same point with same errors and the xcfun and other subdirs identically unpopulated.

Regards,
Mike

I think the problem is that the submodules have been removed recently. Can you try the following?

Code: Select all

git clone --recursive -b v2018.0 https://gitlab.com/dalton/lsdalton.git

Hi Jógvan,

Many thanks - after cloning with your recommended git command it builds without error. As my attempts to find an install guide seem to have lead me to a couple of out-of-date web pages, can I confirm that what I'm cloning here is the latest stable version of lsdalton?

Regards,
Mike

Yes, that is correct. Version 2018.0 is the latest stable version of lsdalton.
