error: globaldefs.h: No such file or directory

[ac412]

dear all,

I am new to ROMS.
I want to run a South China Sea case and I have prepared ncfiels.
But when I run ./build.bash I met the problem as below:

Code: Select all

In file included from Compilers/../ROMS/Include/cppdefs.h:617,
                 from Compilers/make_macros.h:16:
/share/home/my/ROMS/myTest/wmscs/wmscs.h:73:24: error: globaldefs.h: No such file or directory
/share/home/my/make_macros.mk:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

If I copy the golbaldefs.h to the current folder, the error will be like this:

Code: Select all

/share/home/my/make_macros.mk:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Could anyone tell me why and how to solve it? Many thanks~~

Have you looked at that make_macros.mk file? Mine looks like:

Code: Select all

  USE_ADJOINT :=
  USE_TANGENT :=
  USE_REPRESENTER :=
  USE_SEAICE := on
  USE_WRF :=
  USE_SWAN :=
  USE_REFDIF :=
  USE_ARPACK :=
  USE_MCT :=
  USE_ESMF :=

Don't worry if you don't have the SEAICE line. Which version of make are you using? I've got:

Code: Select all

pacman3 710% make --version

dear Kate,

thank you for your kindly reply.
I've got the same version of GNU as yours:

but I don't have the build folder under the current folder. It also fails when I try to "make" or "make clean".

Code: Select all

/share/home/my/make_macros.mk:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

This is in your home directory, right? It has nothing to do with where your build directory is. If your file looks like mine, look for hidden characters in there.

ETA: a web search on that error brings up the make issue of spaces instead of tabs. However, there should be no tabs in that file.

dear Kate,

thank you for your kindly reply.

My mistake. I changed everything but the casename in the first line of *.h file. So the system didn't find this *.h. Now the problem has been solved.
But I still don't understand why my Makefile.config would be located at my home directory?

[kate]

The makefile puts that file in your home directory, then copies it to the build directory:

Code: Select all

MAKE_MACROS := $(shell echo ${HOME} | sed 's| |\\ |g')/make_macros.mk

ifneq "$(MAKECMDGOALS)" "clean"
 MACROS := $(shell cpp -P $(ROMS_CPPFLAGS) Compilers/make_macros.h > \
                $(MAKE_MACROS); $(CLEAN) $(MAKE_MACROS))

Code: Select all

       cp -p $(MAKE_MACROS) $(SCRATCH_DIR)
