Compilation Error on Debian 6.02 (Squeeze)

[Faisal]

I have a 02 quesitons:
Q1. Is there a Problem with my make file?
or
Q2. Is there some error in code?


I am using Debian 6.02 (Squeeze) amd - 64 bit.


Yesterday I downloaded OpenSees - Release 1 from below command:

svn co svn://opensees.berkeley.edu/usr/local/svn/OpenSees/trunk OpenSees


I picked ../MAKES/Makefile.def.Ubuntu9.04 for Makefile.def.

I customized the Makefile.def as shown below:

Kindly help me to solve this problem and compile the code.

I was expecting a human reply not spam. I am still waiting for reply.

Please share the Makefile.def if you were able to build it (and list needed libraries please). The forum here seems to have something against Linux builds

Try this Makefile.def
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18ll ... y=CMfcybIK

The problem for me regarding the latest version is to build the SuperLU4.0 library

Also, have you tried parallel build???

[Faisal]

@hsafti: No luck yet I have tried your Makefile.def and all available Makefile.def files. I also incorporated the best options/commands from these in my own Makefile.def but all in vain. I think that current OpenSees code is not tested with linux.

I haven't tried parallel build. I have used libraries listed on http://opensees.berkeley.edu/community/ ... =6&t=13384.

Have you tried SUPERLUdir = $(HOME)/OpenSees/OTHER/SuperLU_4.1/SRC in section 2: Paths and -I$(SUPERLUdir) in MACHINE_INCLUDES in SECTION 7: INCLUDE FILES

Still getting above error:

Once I compiled successfully in ubuntu 9.04 and thought this time that it would be as easy as before but this time I spent 2 weeks with no luck.
If anyone compile successfully on latest linux distro or understand above listed error then please share.

That file actually works for Ubuntu 10.10 .... for sequential OpenSees only though.

I'm not familiar with the Makefile utility. OpenSees was my first encounter with it.

I know that OpenSees is built for various Linux clusters in CA. Nevertheless, the OpenSees team does not share clear instructions on Linux builds.

On more than one occasion, I have suggested implementing OpenSees in a cmake (or wmake) or even as an eclipse IDE project or via codeBlocks.

OpenSees has been a very frustrating experience for me. Besides Linux build issue, OpenSees does not deliver what is promised in the manual (geotechnical part-wise) and the OpenSees team (which I think consists of Dr McKenna period) was not helpful with my posts or emails.

I appreciate OpenSees and all the work done. But I guess OpenSees is extremely poor regards community. If you do not have direct contact with Berkeley, I think you should have a plan B for your project.

Dear all

It is not a solution of the problem (Pl excuse me), but sharing of some ideas.
I faced similar problem with Fedora 14 (64 bit). Alisa has a solution posted in this forum. However, I have moved to CAELinux by this time. I believe there is some gcc compatibility issue involved.

Reg the help from forum, yes I agree that sometimes it is really frustrating to wait and wait. But I still believe that OS community is a great one and helps each other, whenever possible. I have got a lot of helps, particularly from fmk and vesna in the past.

Reg moving to cmake or eclipse is a nice proposal. I am not sufficiently expert to do the same. Hope some one will take up the job. Further, OS really needs a GUI for increasing the user base, May be something like BuildingTcl, without giving up the powerful scripting option completely. OS developers collect data on user needs, but I am yet to see any thing on this line.

Thanks and Regards.
