ABINIT Discussion Forums

Hi,

I want to cross compile on a Fedora Linux system for a Windows system,
using the mingw32 compiler packages. I have abinit sources 6.0.4.

I start with the configure, as follows:
./configure --prefix=/opt/abinit \
--disable-netcdf --disable-bigdft --disable-wannier90 --disable-libxc \
--enable-optim="no" \
--target=i686-pc-mingw32 --host=i686 \
CC="/usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-gcc" \
FC="/usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-gfortran"

Then the make ends with this:
/usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-gfortran -ffree-form -J/home/software/abinit-6.0.4/src/mods -O0 -g -ffree-line-length-none -o abinetcdf.exe abinetcdf-abinetcdf.o ../../src/10_defs/lib10_defs.a
../../src/10_defs/lib10_defs.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I can solve the problem for this particular line by manually typing:

/usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-ranlib src/10_defs/lib10_defs.a
make

but then the make gets stuck at a next similar problem with "src/95_drive/lib95_drive.a".
etc. etc.

I am able to resolve these problems by manually run /usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-ranlib
on every archive, which causes a problem (see complete list below)

Is this "ranlib" thing a missing feature in the generated Makefiles?
Or have I been doing something wrong?

Thank you!
Rob.

Hello,

It seems to me that the host should match the prefix of your utilities.

./configure --prefix=/opt/abinit \
--disable-netcdf --disable-bigdft --disable-wannier90 --disable-libxc \
--enable-optim="no" \
--target=i686-pc-mingw32 --host=i686

Should use .

Thank you!
That solved the problem.
