I initially pulled from git a couple of months back and had no trouble building. After updating to macOS 10.15.6 I’m seeing the error below. Unfortunately, I also pulled fresh sources for freeFEM. Thus the sources may have changed, or the updated build tools (supplemented with Home-brew) may have ch…

Apologies. I see this is a problem on MUMPS. Possibly due to an update to gfortran. Adding the gfortran option -fallow-argument-mismatch allow mpi.f to compile

You can also let PETSc compile MUMPS with make petsc-slepc, and then ./reconfigure --disable-fortran.

Hi Same problem for me. The ./reconfigure --disable-fortran method did not work for me. As for the other method, can you explain me how you changed the gfortran options to compile correctly ? Thanks

Things are getting even worse… To make sure to redo every steps of the compilations I did a make clean and then make petsc-slepc in the ff-petsc directory and now it fails to recompute slepc ! And the error message is of very little help (see bellow) HELP PLEASE ! David ======================…

Nothing to do with SLEPc… It says ScaLAPACK, not SLEPc. You need to switch to the develop branch.

OK. So switched to develop branch. I had to do ./reconfigure --disable-fortran to succeed compilation of mpi.f Now compilation succeeds but new problem: (base) fabred@autonome232:FreeFem-sources$ src/mpi/FreeFem++-mpi src/mpi/FreeFem++-mpi dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libhdf5.103.dylib Re…

Just for completeness … I am able to compile by manually adding “-fallow-argument-mismatch” when needed. I’ll try the configure options and report back.

I’m able to build with David’s suggested configure change. I get two FAIL during “make check” and will follow up with another thread.
