Help needed for Windows build

[ywan459]

Hi,

I have complied my one on Windows Subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS). There is no tricky issues, just simply follow the given the code_saturne instruction. Yes user has to install some library and tools before compilation, such as bulid essential package, OpenMPI and Qt etc.. For GUI, I am using MobaXterm. User just launch the WLS on MobaXterm, the GUI should pop up as on the native platform.

Regards

Hello
under the WSL2 and ubuntu it is possible to install the version 6.0.2-1 available as a package in the ubuntu repository.
The GUI work out-of-the box with no need for a swparate xserver.

P.S. The version does not have the bug-fix for the compressible Module.

I tried to install code_saturne-7.0.4 on ubuntu WSL2.

I got the following error and warning:

Code: Select all

config.status: error: in `/home/robber/saturneCode/saturneBiuld/prod':
config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments
    for automatic dependency tracking.  Try re-running configure with the
    '--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build
    the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking).
See `config.log' for more details

Code: Select all

configure: WARNING: no MPI support
configure: WARNING: no HDF5 file support
configure: WARNING: no hdf5 library found; will not search for MED
configure: WARNING: no MEDCoupling file support
configure: WARNING: doxygen not found
configure: WARNING: dot not found

Please can someone point me to the ubuntu package name nedded?

I resort to the semi-automatic installation and it works fine.
I summarize my step:

• after the installation of the ubuntu WSL2 on a windows 11 using apt-get I installed a program that uses a GUI (i.e. gedit) to install all the necessary library
  
  set up in the home user directory the installation manual indication about the built directory structure
  
  install build packages by

  Code: Select all

  sudo apt-get install build-essential

  move on the build directory and first run of

  Code: Select all

  ../../code_saturne-7.0.4/install_saturne.py

  modify the setup file requesting the library that it is needed
  
  second run of

  Code: Select all

  ../../code_saturne-7.0.4/install_saturne.py

The GUI works fine, I am in the process of testing the solver
