Compilation on Ubuntu 18.10

Hi Clemens,

I had no problems compiling Delft3D version 7545 (https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/delft3d/tags/delft3d4/7545) on Ubuntu 16.10 in the past. Since that revision many things have changed though, e.g. a D-FLOW-FM kernel was added (but no GUI for this model yet available), a new model launcher dimr was developed etc. Nevertheless, I suggest you to start from the tagged version 7545. Read this post (have a look at Installing_Delft3D.txt), the compilation procedure is explained step by step there. Also browse through the build_ubuntu-files in the src-folder as Adri suggested. I expect compiling Delft3D on Ubuntu 18.10 is pretty much similar to the compiling on Ubuntu 16.10.

Hope this will be a little help.

Regards,

Dmitry

Hi Clemens,

Stable versions are in https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/delft3d/tags/, see als download source code. The best way to start is by downloading the latest stable version, currently for Delft3D 4 (structured grid): https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/delft3d/tags/delft3d4/62441/

and for Delft3D FM (Flexible mesh): https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/delft3d/tags/delft3dfm/62800/

Adri

Hi Adri,

thanks for the information. CentOS and Ubuntu are a bit different, but that should not be the problem. Could fix my computer and will start all over again.

A question regarding the SVN repository. If I see it correctly there is just the /trunk version available for download. Is this the stable version?

Regards,

Clemens

Hi Clemens,

CentOS. CentOS versions are basicly clones of Stable RedHat versions.

Hi again,

I will do so if I am able to. Just for me to know and to compare to, which distribution in the standard platform you support the most?

Regards,

Clemens

Hi Clemens,

Ubuntu is not our standard platform. But there is additional information available: Folder "https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/delft3d/trunk/src" contains two text files with the name build_ubuntu*. They might be a bit outdated, but they still will be helpful. If you notice possible updates for these files, please post them here, then I will commit them.

Thanks.

Adri

Hi Adri,

thanks for your answer. First I tried to install Delft3D following this tutorial which lead me to the problem regarding NetCDF. Now I tried to install it using the build_ubuntu.16.04LT.readme file in the /src/ folder and get another error.

make: *** [Makefile:547: install-recursive] Error 1

Which I can not really understand.

It seemed quite strange to me to install the libraries under /home/user/Downloads/libraries/ and after a restart my system does not want to reboot again. Need to fix this first.

Is there maybe a detailed installation tutorial for Delft3D? Would like to use one for my next try, when my system is fixed again.

Thanks in advance

Hi Clemens,

You can download NetCDF from Unidata.

Use exactly the same C++ and Fortran compiler to build NetCDF and Delft3D. Please check in case of using a precompiled distribution. See also our prerequisites.

When compiling under Ubuntu 18.10 I am getting this issue when running ./configure

checking for NETCDF... no
configure: error: Package requirements (netcdf) were not met:

No package 'netcdf' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

I could not find a package which is netcdf or any other related package. What package is needed to install Delft3D?
