FDS Compilation

[lihy213]

Dear contributors,

I encountered some problems when I compiled FDS source codes. I installed the Intel oneAPI Base and HPC Toolkits, and the Fortran code ran well. In addition, the GNU make and git were also installed. But when I typed make_fds.bat, it came to the following errors:

My OS is Windows 11.
What can I do to solve this problem?

Kind regards,

LI

We are currently transitioning from the old Fortran compiler (ifort) to the new one (ifx). We have not thoroughly tested the new compiler, but try the following. In the makefile, change the word ifort to ifx

# set compiler type

I_IFORT=ifort
ifdef INTEL_IFORT
   I_IFORT=$(INTEL_IFORT)
endif

and then try to compiler again. Do a git clean to remove the old files.

[lihy213]

Does it mean to change the lowercase ifort to ifx? But it appeared the same error as I mentioned before when I changed that. :(

[lihy213]

Like this,

# set compiler type

I_IFORT=ifx
ifdef INTEL_IFORT
   I_IFORT=$(INTEL_IFORT)
endif

[mcgratta]

yes

There's no way to solve it? 😞
When I typed make_fds.bat within impi_intel_win, it met the error, conversely within impi_intel_win_db.

Try this:

[marcosvanella]

INTEL_IFORT=ifx
I_IFORT=ifort
ifdef INTEL_IFORT
I_IFORT=$(INTEL_IFORT)
endif

[lihy213]

Yes, I tried it, but something new happened. 😢

You have to be in a clone repository to build, not just a download of the tarball.

It doesn't work though, maybe I should reboot my PC again?

[rmcdermo]

What does not work?

[lihy213]

The same question after cloning the repo. BTW, I didn't modify the makefile.

[rmcdermo]

It looks like you did not install the MKL libraries when you installed the Intel Compilers.

[lihy213]

Here, before I compiled FDS, the relevant libs were installed.

[mcgratta]

The MKL libraries come with the HPC toolkit. You need the Base and HPC toolkits.

[lihy213]

Yes, I indeed installed these libs, cause the fortran file could be compiled in VS 2022.

[lihy213]

Anyone can help me? Great THANKS!

[rmcdermo]

We are trying. But you are not giving us any more to go on. You say you were able to compile with VS 2022? Why change? We are still using classic fortran to build FDS.

[lihy213]

I build FDS under the instruction of the guidance Compiling FDS with Intel oneAPI. I'm able to compile with VS 2022 means that intel Fortran and MKL libs(yes, you mean the Base and HPC toolkits) were installed correctly but had nothing to do with FDS. And it looks that nothing wrong with building FDS from the picture, changing ifort to ifx is just a reminder. The information indicates that something is wrong unexpectedly.

Is your user name DELL? Try rebooting your pc. Can you delete the file the compiler failed to delete

[lihy213]

Yes! The user name is DELL. I reboot my PC again and then compiled make_fds.bat, but it still meets the same problem. I also delete the files manually, but it's different every time.

[rmcdermo]

Sorry, there is really very little we can do since we do not have access to your system. The only think I can think of at this point would be to open the task manager while the compilation is running and see if you somehow overrun your memory. I've never seen that happen at compile time, but I don't know what else to suggest.

[lihy213]

Thanks for your great help! It's a tough situation, maybe I should try another way. 💪

[mcgratta]

I just installed the oneAPI Fortran compiler 2024.0.2. When I compile with ifx I get an error.

[lihy213]

Yes, it's same to you.

[lihy213]

The problem has been solved! The reason was that the path of fds git files included Chinese characters. Too frustrated! 😭

[mcgratta]

Whenever I have trouble with a Windows application, the first thing I think about is whether the blank spaces in the folder names are a source of the problem. Add Chinese characters to your list.
