@jrohwer

When building PETSc (more specifically, petsc4py), one test (ex100 from ksp) will fail if a previous (major) version is installed. I could not figure out why this happens. The solution would be to build in a clean root (which is a little bit complicated due to dependency on other AUR packages) or simply uninstall the old version before.

Any help to solve this issue is welcomed.

EDIT:

I realize now that I had reported this error previously and that it has been answered here:

Sorry for the noise!

Unfortunately I have not been able to find a workaround other than uninstalling the old version.

Latest version compiles fine but errors out on tests:

Apparently the build error is caused by a backwards incompatibility in Make, and thus a "bug" in PETSc and not make. They merged a fix, which can be found here: https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/6140/diffs?commit_id=5ef50a0f30184c572c1829d0a161b2eb8af8a6a3

Could you maybe update the package to apply the fix, so that the package can be built without downgrading Make?

MartinDiehl commented on 2023-03-04 09:54 (UTC)

building PETSc requires to downgrade make (https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/issues/1336)

According to this log. petsc can not be compiled without scotch. Happily the binaries are available in arch4edu repository. See https://mirror.sunred.org/arch4edu/x86_64

MartinDiehl commented on 2023-01-22 17:45 (UTC)

@smp: scotch is now build with cmake, which required some changes on the petsc side. Did you try to update scotch first?

smp commented on 2023-01-22 17:12 (UTC)

As described previously, building PETSc without the optional Scotch dependency fails. It looks like the issue can be fixed by replacing the following line in file test_optdepends.sh

if [ -d "${SCOTCH_DIR}" ]; then

with

if [ -f /usr/include/scotch.h ]; then

Can we add superlu_dist as optional dependency? Same as for superlu:

if [ -f "/usr/lib/pkgconfig/superlu_dist.pc" ]; then
  CONFOPTS="${CONFOPTS} --with-superlu_dist-lib=-lsuperlu_dist --with-superlu_dist-include=/usr/include/superlu_dist"
fi

@lahwaacz: I'm just trying to understand what's going on and find a solution, not workarounds. If ssh is a dependency for openmpi, it has to be solved in the respective package. If all PETSc applications require it, it is a dependency. But checkdepends seems to be a quick fix that should not be in the official PKGBUILD
