Abinit and BigDFT

Hello!

I wanted to try the wavelet code, which needs BigDFT. The problem is, that I can't compile BigDFT within abinit and the version from bigdft.org is not compatible. I'm using gcc 4.8.2.

The problem with the fallback is, that while performing make in ~abinit/fallbacks/sources/bigdft-abi-1.0.4, it complains

Code: Select all

configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh config/config.sub

Due to this missing file, I can't build the fallback.

On the other hand, I tried to build the original BigDFT from bigdft.org after building libxc. The problem here is the same as mentioned in a prior thread: The parameters of init_restart_objects have changed on 2012-08-31 with commit 1010 and changed on 2013-02-13 (commit 1048) to its current version.

Is there any plan, to fix at least one of these problems?

Thanks for your efforts.

The best would probably be to ask directly to the developers of BigDFT (see the AUTHORS file in the bigdft-abi-1.0.4 tarball), since such fixes depend essentially on them.
