open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi,

I tried to compile telemac on win7(x64), g95 and python procedure and after hours of compilation I got the message that 'ar' is not recognized as an internal or external.... then follows a list of commands that failed because of this problem.

Here is my PATH: c:\python27;c:\g95\bin;c:\opentelemac\v6p2\pytel;c:\opentelemac\v6p2\bin

Here is my configuration:
[win7g95s]
#
root: C:\opentelemac\v6p2
version: v6p2
language: 2
modules: update system
options:
#
cmd_obj: g95 -c -fendian=big -ffixed-line-length-132 <mods> <incs> <f95name>
cmd_lib: ar cru <libname> <objs>
cmd_exe: g95 -fendian=big -std=f95 -v -lm -o <exename> <objs> -Xlinker --start-group <libs> --end-group
#
mods_all: -I <config>
#
sfx_zip: .zip
sfx_lib: .lib
sfx_obj: .o
sfx_mod: .mod
sfx_exe: .exe
#
# also possible val_root: <root>/../validation
val_root: <modpath>/validation
val_rank: all
# also possible val_rank: <3 >7 6

I am a new user and despite I did my search, I have no idea what this 'ar' command could be.
Any help would be very appreciated, thanks.

ar is the archiving program (or the "*.lib" creator). In the installation of g95 you can find it within the bin directory, which tells me that you may not have the PATH to the g95\bin directory in your PATH.

Please add it and try again (you'll need to close your DOS command windows and strt the compilation again).

Note that we are now also recommending the gfortran compiler for windows, which now come with all binaries pre-compiled for 32bit and 64bit architechtures.

Hope this helps.

Sébastien.

Thank you for your answer Sebastien,

As you recommended, I now try to compile TELEMAC on windows XP 32 with Python and gfortran. Unfortunately, I could not find any example of configuration file for windows gfortran scalar. So I tryed something anyway, I changed my configuration wing95s this way:

cmd_obj: gfortran -c -O3 -ffixed-line-length-132 -fconvert=big-endian -frecord-marker=4 <mods> <incs> <f95name>
cmd_lib: ar cru <libname> <objs>
cmd_exe: gfortran -fconvert=big-endian -frecord-marker=4 -v -o <exename> <objs> -Xlinker --start-group <libs> --end-group


Here is the error I get from the compilation (attachments).

Any idea would be appreciated, thanks

Sorry, here is the attachment

Hi

--start-group --end-group are g95 options
have a look on the forum Fabien (ails) as already indicate the options for gfortran. I'm not sure but i seems to me this is -Wl

Hope this helps

In this case, you should try to remove only "--end-group" from your cfg file.
Xlinker --start-group also workd with gfortran and Xlinker seems to be known on your system. If not, -Wl, ... would be a solution.
