RE: file wave_bmi issues - Forum - Delft3D

I am facing the same problem with the latest version of Delft3D on trunk repositories.

I think is a compiler issue, in my case I am using;

GNU Autoconf version 2.69
GNU Automake version 1.15.1
GNU Libtool version 2.4.6

sys-devel/gcc-6.4.0-r1

I got the following error:

DWITH_DELFTONLINE -g -O2 -ffree-line-length-none -cpp -c wave_bmi.f90  -fPIC -o .libs/wave_bmi.o
wave_bmi.f90:432:16:

   character(len=length), intent(in) :: string
                1
Error: Scalar INTEGER expression expected at (1)
wave_bmi.f90:443:38:

     string_to_char_array(i) = string(i:i)
                                      1
Error: Syntax error in argument list at (1)
wave_bmi.f90:429:41:

...

I am have tried to compile with a different version of gcc (4.9.3) without success. Now I am going to try to compile an older version of Delft3D, once I have the Delft3D 7545 compiled on my old notebook. 

Any chance of somebody have overcome this problem, please I wold be very grateful to be able to compile the latest version of Delft3D. Thank you!

Hi,
I was successful compiling Delft3D version 7545.
 

./configure --with-mpi --with-netcdf
 

Using:

gcc-6.4.0;

Autoconf version 2.69
Automake version 1.15.1
Libtool version 2.4.6

Hi,

I expect this problem to be solved by reversing line 432:
character(len=length), intent(in) :: string

with line 433:
integer(c_int),intent(in) :: length

It seems that the compiler you are using is very strict.

I solved this in the trunk in revision 8686.

Regards,

Adri
