problems on building

[herocbn]

I am a green finger on how to build this poject, how can i get detailed operations？

[DeadParrot]

Start with the Building QSS https://github.com/NREL/SOEP-QSS#building-qss section of the README and then let me know what, if any, problems you run into.

For the FMI Library I suggest getting version 2.4.1 from https://github.com/modelon-community/fmi-library/releases/tag/2.4.1. If you have trouble building or using it (use the same compiler as you choose for QSS) just ask.

hello， when i build FMI，running the followings

mkdir build-fmil; cd build-fmil cmake -FMILIB_BUILD_STATIC_LIB=../../custom ../../custom.Linux/ make install test

I run into error, what shoud I do here?

[herocbn]

I guess I misunderstand the two parameters prefix
path to FMIL source can someone help me ?

[DeadParrot]

The cmake line would look something like:

cmake -DFMILIB_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/<user>/libs/FMIL /home/<user>/code/FMIL

• The path to FMIL source should point to the root FMIL repository directory (above the src directory).
• Run cmake and make with sudo if the install path is not within an owned directed, for example /opt/FMIL.
• Especially if you are doing a release build you may not want/need to pass test to make.

here, the steps are a little confusing, i am using Linux

[DeadParrot]

Once you are able to build FMIL directly I'd recommend using the scripts and code under the FMIL directory of this repository to do build an FMIL ready for QSS usage, especially adding all the extra headers QSS needs.

This would mean copying the FMIL repository source code into a FMIL/custom directory, merging the changes in custom.Linux over that, and then using the build scripts in bin to build the FMIL, such as FMIL/bin/bld.GCC.r.sh (r is for the release build). These scripts are set up to install to directories of the form: /opt/FMIL.<compiler>.<build> so if you want to put FMIL somewhere else you'll need to customize the scripts.

OK，thks，when i do mak command as follow: i cannot get any information about the progress, is that correct?

[DeadParrot]

You should see each source compiling and the libQSS.a library build command and then the QSS executable linking. If nothing is happening then there is a problem. You can try adding -d to the mak command to get debugging output from make. You can also run the bld command instead of mak to get more environment setup/checks before it runs mak. You have to do the builds from a console configured with the desired setQSS script, such as source bin/Linux/GCC/r/setQSS, as the build instructions specify.

when i run mak -d as you say it seems deadlock?

[herocbn]

Here is the detailed information, when i run mak -d debug.txt

[DeadParrot]

It looks like you didn't use FMIL 2.4.1 -- you have failures for headers of the form fmi3_*.h and those are from the latest FMIL master branch where they have started adding FMI 3.0 support. QSS doesn't use FMI 3.0 and the FMIL support isn't yet updated to work with the latest FMIL master branch. Try deleting your FMIL install directory /opt/FMIL.GCC.r, checking out the 2.4.1 tag revision from the FMIL Library git repository and then following the instructions in FMIL/README.md for merging the custom.Linux modifications into a copy of that code and then building that FMIL. If you get that right there should be no fmi3_*.h headers under /opt/FMIL.GCC.r and then I think/hope your QSS build will succeed.

Please also make sure:

• You are using the latest revision of SOEP-QSS unless you have a specific reason to use an older one
• g++ is installed and on your PATH (and you can build a small test C++ application)
• Python 3.8+ is installed and on your PATH
• You adapt the build setup if you use a different FMIL install directory or you are using an old Ubuntu or g++ that doesn't support some of the C++ usage in QSS

Hello, i run into the last step and in /opt/FMIL.GCC.r/lib what's wrong?

[DeadParrot]

Since you don't show your full environment and the full command and output (text is better than a screenshot) I can only guess that you not using the custom.Linux changes when you build FMIL, which includes turning FMILIB_INSTALL_SUBLIBS on in CMakeLists.txt.

thank u， i make it！
