MFiX 19.2 Installation Issues

MFiX Installation

When running the make command, I get the following “undefined reference” errors. Boost 1.68.0a is installed.

Using build_mfixsolver with installation from source code
#2

Could you post the full cmake and make commands you are using to build?

#3

cmake3 … -DBOOST_ROOT=/cm/local/apps/boost -DENABLE_MPI=1 -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=mpifort -DMPI_Fortran_COMPILER=mpifort -DCMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS="-O2 -g" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=mpic++

make

#4

Do you want to build the solver with interactive support (for use in the GUI)?

If you want the interactive solver, it is recommended to build with from the GUI or with the build_mfixsolver command included in the conda packages (rather than the source tarball).

If you don’t need the interactive solver, then you don’t need Boost or the -DBOOST_ROOT option. Make sure that the ENABLE_CPPMFIX option is not enabled. Clear your CMakeCache.txt (build in a fresh directory), then the build scripts shouldn’t mention Boost at all.

#5

I do not wish to build with GUI support. Just add ENABLE_CPPMFIX=0 to my cmake command?

#6

Yes, use -DENABLE_CPPMFIX=0 as a cmake option. (It ought to be off be default, but explicitly turning it off will make sure.)

#7

That has resolved my issues. Thank you, sir!
