ABINIT Discussion Forums

After configure in my computer, I did just use the make to go through the compilation process but
after that and only few lines I am getting


make all-recursive
Making all in fallbacks
make fox
The build of fox has been disabled
touch: stamps/fox-install-stamp: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [fox] Error 1

Is there any problem with the new build system in 6.11.2?

Thanks a lot!

There have been substantial build-system changes in 6.11.1. Although I've carefully checked my developments and they have been submitted to the test farm in my branch and the trunk, it is probable that some bugs are still there.

Could you give me more info on your configuration (architecture, compilers with versions, configure options, whether you use a builddir, config.log, ...)?

Could you also tell me whether the stamps/ subdirectory has been created in fallbacks/?

Dear Yann

I am including here the config.log. I am compiling it in my mac ox 10.6.8, where I have been using Abinit for development for the
last few years. I have not changed anything in my configuration in the last few months and all previous Abinit versions did pass
the compilation, I was using gfortran..

Within the fallbacks I have

No directory as the one you are referring to exist..


Thanks

I did download the recent merge version of 6.11.2 and still I am unable to compile. I did create the stamps directory within the fallbacks but that did not help. When
I did so, I got the error

Without creating the stamps directory, I am getting the same error than before.
Any ideas Yann?

Thanks in advance!

Let's concentrate on the fallbacks. You can go to the fallbacks/ subdir of Abinit and create a tmp/ build dir there. Just copy the config.mk file from ~abinit/your_builddir/fallbacks/ and run ../configure.

If the sources/, exports/, and stamps/ subdirs do not exist, retry with ../configure MKDIR_P="gmkdir -p" or something similar.

If they stil don't exist, create them manually in ~abinit/your_builddir/fallbacks/.

Please report what happens in any case, so that I know what I have to update / check in the fallbacks build system.

Yann.

I did the makedist first, after I did create the tmp in the fallbacks directory, copy the config.mk from the fallbacks directory into this directory, then, I did
run configure (the three subdirectories you were talking about were created) and I did try to compile but it stops in the usual place for the xc that I have been
having problems always in my mac.

I did also use ../configure with_dft_flavor=none or
../configure with_dft_flavor=atompaw+wannier90

but in all cases, it stop by complaining a problem with the libxc.

It seems to me that it is not choosing any flavor then..

thanks again

Then, the only thing I can think of is a misconfiguration in your development environment. But without physical access to the computer, it will be very difficult for me to pinpoint the issue.

Could you copy - including both STDOUT and STDERR (2>&1) - the contents of:

• your config file;
• the output of makemake (freshly run after a clean-source-tree);
• the output of Abinit's configure (*not* the config.log);

in code blocks, so that I get a chance to grasp a hint about what's happening to you?

Dear Yann

after
config/scripts/clean-source-tree

I did issue the makemake and the configure. I am including here both outputs (the screen outputs)

Thanks a lot

Sorry, I misunderstood your previous answer. After re-reading it, it seems that the problem is not in the build system at all. I could not identify any anomaly in the data you sent me. In any case, there are MacOS X computers in the test farm which are all fine with the current build system, and some developers use such computers as well, apparently without any problem.

Again, I'm pretty sure that the problem is coming from a misconfiguration of your computer, but I cannot tell you more without physically accessing the computer itself. In particular if you say that this is a recurrent problem that you've been having with several versions of Abinit. As long as you've not identified precisely what it is really about and its origin, there will be no solution. And in the present case, I'll be able to help only when the problem has been fully formulated.
