./build.bash error:Can't open tmp file at ROMS/Bin/cpp_clean

[ssuanda]

Hello,

I am trying to compile the upwelling test case with Cygwin and am coming across an error I have not seen before.

ROMS from a checkout from 2 months ago:

$ svn info
Path: .
Working Copy Root Path: /home/survstu1/ROMS/trunk
URL: https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/trunk
Relative URL: ^/trunk

Works fine. I get the expected oceanS file after compilation:

$ ./build.bash
rm -f -r core *.ipo /home/survstu1/ROMS/Projects/Upwelling/Build /home/survstu1/make_macros.mk
cp -f /usr/include/netcdf.mod /home/survstu1/ROMS/Projects/Upwelling/Build

ETC ...

A new checkout:

the build attempt gives the following:

$ ./build.bash

I notice the build directory is now called Build_roms, and I could not decipher the cpp_clean file.
Perhaps I am missing something with the new code? Any help is much appreciated.

Check the permissions on your /home/survstu1/ROMS/trunk/Projects/Upwelling/Build_roms directory. Your error would indicate that you don't have the proper permissions to write to that directory. However, it is strange that /usr/bin/cpp appears to be able to create the /home/survstu1/ROMS/trunk/Projects/Upwelling/Build_roms/def_diags.f90 file but ROMS/Bin/cpp_clean can't create a temporary file in the same directory. Can you confirm that the /home/survstu1/ROMS/trunk/Projects/Upwelling/Build_roms/def_diags.f90 file is created?

[ssuanda]

Hello,

def_diags.f90 is created, but it is basically empty:

$ ls -l Build_roms/
total 622
-rw-r--r-- 1 survstu1 Domain Users 19516 Sep 4 11:50 def_diags.f90
-rw-r--r-- 1 survstu1 Domain Users 215 Sep 4 11:50 make_macros.mk
-rw-r--r-- 1 survstu1 Domain Users 587217 Sep 4 11:50 MakeDepend
-rw-r--r-- 1 survstu1 Domain Users 22046 Sep 4 11:50 netcdf.mod
-rw-r--r-- 1 survstu1 Domain Users 547 Sep 4 11:50 typesizes.mod

It also appears that I can create other files to this directory without a problem.

Could you have run out of disk space? That might prevent cpp_clean from writing. I doubt the problem is in cpp_clean itself.

Your directory listing of Build_roms shows only 5 files. Is that all there is?
There should be many more files processed before make gets to def_diags.f90.

What release number does svn info show you are at?

Hi John,

Here's svn info:

$ svn info

I don't think it is a disk space issue. A build with previous version works ok.

This has been resolved.
My Cygwin didn't have a proper Perl. Once Perl(version 5.26.2-1) was correctly added, all went well.

Thanks,

Ata
