Arch Linux

I didn't get crashes with 3.34-2 (I didn't try 3.34-1) with --enable-download, so I left it for the time being

suitesparse is in the repos :P

freefem is really weird with detecting system libraries, so I'd be happy to remove --enable-download from the package.

Hi, the package depend on suitesparse AUR package, but the current package use the ff++ downloaded one (using a different version).

ff++ compiles fine but in my case, simple applications crash with segfault (e.g using solve() or builmesh() functions). It might be related, any idea?

matael, the real error is farther up, when compiling UMFPACK.cpp and NewSolver.cpp. The freefem build system fails to detect UMFPACK (in the suitesparse package) and doesn't properly include headers, so the build fails. I am waiting for the 3.32 tarball to fix it.

I don't really understand, but the package won't compile here :

Makefile:1658: recipe for target 'UMFPACK64.so' failed
make[3]: *** [UMFPACK64.so] Error 1

Looks like something's missing... i don't understand where this problem comes from

It appears that there is a new version. To install it, I had to change the PKGBUILD

The site: http://www.freefem.org/ff++/ftp/freefem++-3.31.tar.gz gave me a 404 error, the new or correct is http://www.freefem.org/ff++/ftp/freefem++-3.31-2.tar.gz with its new sha256sum (4e61e6b44bc709f2e6f64c5a64d7597caead208e39fd97e231d41b86dfbccf65)

the "reference to $srcdir" warning is due to a couple pkg-config files that set the prefix incorrectly.

perhaps it was a server issue, the source is available.

the build should succeed without `--enable-download`, you just lose all the other components that the build system grabs.

I have poked around building the different components independently and getting freefem's build system to recognize them. I think I've been successful with (par)metis, superlu, tetgen, and mmg3d (mostly fixing header/lib locations). I've had trouble with others, like scotch_esmumps. Freefem will recognize the presence of the scotch/mumps libs, but magically won't build the corresponding freefem solib. Someday I might bug the devs.

The build fails because it mmg3d4.0.tgz is no longer available online:

cd ../pkg;wget --no-check-certificate http://www.math.u-bordeaux1.fr/~cdobrzyn/logiciels/download/mmg3d4.0.tgz

I suggest changing `--enable-download` to `--disable-download` in build script, and rather depend on mmg3d package on AUR explicitly (if mmg3d source is made available again).

Thanks for figuring that out.
I tried deleting the `--disable-pastix` line and it actually built just fine.

Hi !

New version released. I have a solution to compile with SuiteSparse installed, here is my PKGBUILD : http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/470589. I didn't succeed to compile with pastix enabled.

Hope this helps...

It was incorrect for me to have added umfpack as a conflict, according to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17625

Beyond adding a note, I don't know how to ignore the incompatible stuff from suitesparse. There doesn't seem to be anything relevant in the mailing list.

I'm also inclined to add --disable-pdf because the pdf is updated much more frequently than the tarball anyways.

You can modify the PKGBUILD as follow :
- If you want to signal a conflict with umfpack :
conflicts=('umfpack')
provides=('umfpack')
This solves problems when you have another program which uses umfpack.
- You can also add this, which would be better I guess (not sure about that)
conflicts=('umfpack' 'suitesparse')
provides=('umfpack' 'suitesparse=4.0.2')
- I think that you can just not mention conflict with umfpack, it works well like that.

But I didn't find how to signal a conflict for compilation step, since it's impossible to compile when SuiteSparse is already installed and conflicts has effects on installation steps but not during compilation.

Also to solve multi-threads compilations problems you should add this to the PKGBUILD :
options=('!makeflags')
which will reset all makeflags during compilation.

Hi,

Thx for this package !
I found why mrbit and others have some troubles :
- missing dep : metis
- export MAKEFLAGS="-j1"
- uninstall SuiteSparse to compile

hope this help !

I cannot compile MUMPS. It tells

Cannot open included file 'mpif.h'

still builds here.

suddenly cannot build MUMPS=\

umfpack is provided by suitesparse in extra. it should be fine as it is.

sorry, for bad english,
conflicts=('umfpack') !!!!
there is no package "umfpack" in the AUR !!!

it builds just fine here. updated with umfpack as a conflict.

no work...

ok, now work : unistalled suitesparse....!!

installed suitesparse 4.0.2

how to do that ??

have you tried uninstalling umfpack before trying to build?

i'm using makepkg, but still don't work !!!

yaourt is probably automatically downloading umfpack for suitesparse. Read lazork's comment. Use makepkg.

error build

I wrote the PKGBUILD with the ++ elsewhere so now there are two packages, freefem and freefem++. Thanks to lazork for the tip.

The package has no maintainer, so you can easily update it yourself. If you do not want to maintain it, just orphan it again after uploading.

I need to remove umfpack from the list of dependencies to be able to compile.
umfpack installs the latest version of suitesparse which I believe is not compatible with freefem.
Better let freefem download its own version of suitesparse (which it will do, since it's using the option --enable-download).
Btw, this PKGBUILD works with version 3.20 as well; just edit the version and the md5sum

> add patch
Is it still needed? Well, added.

add patch -Np1 -i ../disable-doc.patch ...!!!!

ok, thanks

Updated:
- Removed '--disable-pdf' option.
- Added '--enable-download' option.
- Added PDF manual to the package.

modified PKGBUILD :

--enable-download
# --disable-pdf

has completed....

Hmm, documentation building should be disabled by the "--disable-pdf" option... Okay, I fixed it. Thanks for report.
