Unable to build MPB: No rule to make target 'sphere_quad', needed by 'sphere-quad.h'.

[Monopoly4u]

I get the following error when I try running make in mpb-1.5:

make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory '/lib/mpb/mpb-1.5' Making all in src make[2]: Entering directory '/lib/mpb/mpb-1.5/src' cp -f mpbconf.h mpb.h make all-recursive make[3]: Entering directory '/lib/mpb/mpb-1.5/src' Making all in util make[4]: Entering directory '/lib/mpb/mpb-1.5/src/util' make[4]: * No rule to make target 'sphere_quad', needed by 'sphere-quad.h'.

What should I do to resolve the problem? Also, here's my system info:

(This issue belongs on the MPB github page, not on libctl.)

The cp command looks suspicious to me; it doesn't seem like you are building in the standard way. What happens if you download the .tar.gz file from the MPB website, unpack it, and type

./configure && make

?

[Monopoly4u]

(Ahh, I apologize. I didn't see that one existed specifically for MPB.)

I cleared out my "mpb" folder and tried again after re-downloading from the MPB website, and this is what I got:

Here's a bit more information about my setup. I'm completely new to Cygwin, so I apologize for making any blatantly obvious rookie mistakes.

When installing Cygwin, I made sure to include BLAS, LAPACK, HDF5, FFTW, Readline, and Guile from the installation manager noting to include any "-dev" packages related to these programs, and these are located at the top level in my "/bin", "/dev", and "/lib" folders. "libctl" was installed in "/usr/local", but both libctl and mpb-1.5 were unpacked in the same "/lib" folder where all the other programs are located. I've used

$ export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" $ export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"

in order to get MPB's ./configure script to recognize where libctl's shared libraries are, but I have not set any path variables. Also, I've only run commands as root where specifically noted on the libctl and MPB installation pages (which was only once for the "make install" of libctl).

You should notice that mpb-1.5/src/util/sphere-quad.h is included with mpb-1.5.tar.gz. Are the timestamps on your filesystem messed up so that it thinks that this file is out of date?

[Monopoly4u]

I see that sphere-quad.h is indeed located in the mpb-1.5 folder as you've stated.

Here is the output for "$ stat /lib/mpb" and "$ stat /lib/mpb/mpb-1.5/src/util/sphere-quad.h" respectively:

Based on this, I don't believe that the timestamps are out of date, and this same information is shown in Windows Explorer when I check these two locations.

[stevengj]

Oh, I think I see the problem: on Windows, it builds sphere_quad.exe, not sphere_quad. Try editing src/util/Makefile to change the line sphere-quad.h: sphere_quad to sphere-quad.h: $(SPHERE_QUAD)$(EXEEXT)

I'll push a patch to ensure that sphere-quad.h doesn't get accidentally rebuilt in the future.

[Monopoly4u]

In that directory, there are two files named "Makefile", an AM file and an IN file. After configuration, a third Makefile comes in as well. I started over with a fresh unpack of mpb-1.5 and edited both the AM and IN files to the new line as you stated, and then I checked the third Makefile and found that the line was the same as both the AM and IN files. I then proceeded to make, but I received a similar error as before:

$ make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory '/lib/mpb/mpb-1.5' Making all in src make[2]: Entering directory '/lib/mpb/mpb-1.5/src' cp -f mpbconf.h mpb.h make all-recursive make[3]: Entering directory '/lib/mpb/mpb-1.5/src' Making all in util make[4]: Entering directory '/lib/mpb/mpb-1.5/src/util' make[4]: * No rule to make target '../../src/util/sphere_quad.exe', needed by 'sphere-quad.h'.

[stevengj]

(I meant for you to just edit the Makefile after configure runs. You shouldn't edit Makefile.am unless you are configured with --enable-maintainer-mode and have the GNU autotools installed.)

Something is not making sense here. There should be lines in the Makefile like:

sphere_quad$(EXEEXT): $(sphere_quad_OBJECTS) $(sphere_quad_DEPENDENCIES) $(EXTRA_sphere_quad_DEPENDENCIES)
        @rm -f sphere_quad$(EXEEXT)
        $(AM_V_CCLD)$(LINK) $(sphere_quad_OBJECTS) $(sphere_quad_LDADD) $(LIBS)

which are the rule to make sphere_quad (or sphere_quad.exe on Windows).

[Monopoly4u]

I cleaned out the mpb folder and started again, only editing the Makefile that appears after running configure, but I received the same error.

There are indeed those lines in the Makefile that gets created from configure.

[stevengj]

What does make --version report?

[Monopoly4u]

Typing make --version gets me this:

Jed@Oreo /lib/mpb/mpb-1.5 $ make --version GNU Make 4.0 Built for x86_64-pc-cygwin Copyright (C) 1988-2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[stevengj]

I think I made a mistake in the dependency above: try changing the line in the Makefile to sphere-quad.h: sphere_quad$(EXEEXT)

[Monopoly4u]

That seems to have solved the problem. Thanks for all your help!

[stevengj]

Great! (This fix will be in the next release.)
