A problem about building solver

Cifer · December 4, 2021, 5:55am

Hi,

I use mfix-21.3.2 and I want to run the case silane_pyrolysis_2d in the tutorial. However, when I built the solver by button in GUI, it reported error:

Running build_mfixsolver -j -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=gfortran

==========================================================================

when I built the solver in command line, it reported the same error.

I checked some information, but I still can’t solve this problem, so I came to forum for help.

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi- this looks like a previous compilation attempt failed or was interrupted, leaving an incomplete file behind. The first thing to try in such cases is the command make clean, or press the Clean button in the build popup:
shot-2021-12-05_10-33-22

If this doesn’t work, check the setting of your %PATH% variable, according to this posting having invalid entries in %PATH% can cause similar issues.

If neither of these suggestions helps, please let me know, and submit a full bug report “Submit bug report”) from the main menu.

Hi, Charles

Thank you very much for your advice!

Firstly, I tried the Clean button and changed my %PATH% variable separately, but it didn’t work.

However, the website link you provided mentioned that the updated version of gfortran may solve this problem, and I found that MFiX always seems to use the Fortran compiler in envs/mfix-21.3.2/Library/mingw-w64. I upgraded this folder from GNU 5.3.0 to 8.1.0 and modified the %PATH% variable. As a result, the solver is built successfully now.

Thank you very much for your help again!

Hi, Charles

There are two version of MFIX installed on commercial HPC. Using the same mfix source files, solver can be successfully built with the version 20.2.1, but failed with the lasted version 21.4. Can you please tell me how to solve this problem? Thank you.

Please see Compilation failure in serial/smp/dmp with MFIX-21.3
