Compiling on windows 10 virtual machine: error during example https://dlt-acc.firelay.cloud/c/message_boards/find_thread?p_l_id=3231581&threadId=3404292 2026-05-15T15:06:44Z 2026-05-15T15:06:44Z Adri Mourits https://dlt-acc.firelay.cloud/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=3231581&messageId=3404495 2018-04-05T18:16:22Z 2018-04-05T18:16:22Z

Hi Germán,<br /><br />The errors in your build log are serious.<br /><br />What version of Delft3D are you using? You should start with the latest tagged version, currently https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/delft3d/tags/7545/<br /><br />You are compiling in a directory with a white space in the path: &#34;c:\program files\delft3d\delft3d_repository&#34;. Although this should not result in issues anymore, it&#39;s safer to compile in directory without white spaces in the path, e.g. &#34;c:\sourcecode&#34;. And it&#39;s also good to avoid the &#34;c:\program files&#34; directory: Windows uses restricted permissions in there.<br /><br />If you also create directory &#34;c:\tmp&#34;, the lex/yacc errors will disapear too.<br /><br />There are no issues related to running on Virtual Machines.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Adri

Hello everyone<br /><br /><br />First of all, thank you for taking the time.... This is my first post on the forum, i&#39;m an undergraduate student and i&#39;m trying to compile the Delft3D on windows. <br /><br /><br /> Now to the point... im having issues with the compilation, ive already read a lot of the questions of the forum, it has been a lot of help ... i get the errors (flex.exe) and (byacc.exe), I was notified that flex.exe and byacc.exe was unable to start correctly, but for what ive read i can work without them, so the compilation created a bin folder and so far so good, by the way after these messages i have put my source folder with all permission option ... <br /><br />the next step according to the Readme.file and the source code website is to run some examples, this is where i get stuck... in the first example <br />&#34;run_flow2d3d.bat&#34; i have the following message &#34;d_hydro.exe - System error. The execution of the code cannot continue because cannot find libexpat.dll&#39;&#39;. <br /><br />The question here is how can i fix this ? im using the latest tag 7545.<br /><br /><br />My set-up: Visual Studio Professional 2015<br /> Python 3.6.5. x86-64<br /> Intel Parallel Studio XE 2016<br /> Tortoise 1.9.7<br /> Windows 10 (Virtual machine on a mac, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3)<br /><br />oh and here is another question, is there any issue with running the software with a virtual machine? it seems that it has no problem so far..<br /><br />I&#39;ve attached the BuildLogs..
