Compiling CFL3D
 

Hi all,

It seems the CFL3D code was recently set public again after a long period.

The fact is that the official way ton compile it seems a bit outdated. Even the doc says:

"The Install script is very old, and may or may not create a workable makefile for your particular machine." (here)

While I followed instructions, I get the following error:

Is there someone having successfully compiled the last version of CFL3D on Linux ? I have Linux Mint.

Best regards,

Well, I removed all occurences of the "unrecognizes command line options" in the Install script, and it started compile.

Now I have another error:

OK, I copy-pasted the following files from build/cfl/libs/ to build/cfl/mpi/ and it continues compiling:

module_kwstm.mod
module_profileout.mod
module_contour.mod

Let's see if it will be OK now.

I faced similar issues a while ago. Whilst I don't remember the specifics the notes I wrote for my future self are as follows:

Everything is easier with MPICH - just go sudo apt install MPICH
./Install
mv ~/CFL3D/build/makefile ~/CFL3D/build/makefile.bu
cp ~/CFL3D/build/makefile_mac_gnu ~/CFL3D/build/makefile
now modify the makefile from gfortran to mpif90
I found I ended up having to run install more than once last time?
For MPI you still need the cfl3d.inp

It took me a while to work out how to open the files in Paraview. To do this open the the .g file in as a Plot3D. There is then an option to open the .q file in the properties section for the Paraview source.

Good luck.

OK, so it seems the compilation completed well.

Here, a sum up of what I did (CFL3D v6 on Linux Mint 17.3 64bit):

EDIT: the method given in previous/following comments seems to be better than this one.

1- Download the CFL3D code:
2- Go to the build/ dir:
3- Edit the 'Install' script file and, under "# Default to INTEL settings", remove all occurences of following options:
‘-ip’
‘-fno-alias’
‘-traceback’
‘-module’
‘-r8’
'-xHost'
'-fpe0'

4- Launch the 'Install' script:
5- Make CFL3D libraries only:
6- Copy .mod files from one dir to another:
7- Compile sequential and parallel versions of CFL3D:
Can't say, however, how well will run this compiled code...

Hi hjabird,

Your method worked as well and seems to be cleaner than mine (especially because I removed lots of options that can be subsituted by other ones with your method).

Just to say, the only makefile template I found was "makefile_mac_gfortran_example".

Thank you very much for advices and experience sharing.

All the best,

I got stuck while proceeding the installation of CFL3D in Linux V16. Kindly help me
 

We have these files but file format is .F90 only. How can I convert this .F90 to .mod ?

I am unable to copy-paste the following files from build/cfl/libs/ to build/cfl/mpi/

module_kwstm.mod
module_profileout.mod
module_contour.mod

we have completed the below steps while installing CFL3D in linux :
./Install
mv ~/CFL3D/build/makefile ~/CFL3D/build/makefile.bu
cp ~/CFL3D/build/makefile_mac_gnu ~/CFL3D/build/makefile

I renamed the below files which actually was in .f90 format, I have changed to .mod manually, then I copy-pasted the following files from build/cfl/libs/ to build/cfl/mpi/

module_kwstm.mod
module_profileout.mod
module_contour.mod

cp ~/Desktop/CFL3D/build/cfl/libs/*.mod ~/Desktop/CFL3D/build/cfl/seq/
cp ~/Desktop/CFL3D/build/cfl/libs/*.mod ~/Desktop/CFL3D/build/cfl/mpi/

We got stuck while executing the below commands
make cfl3d_seq
make cfl3d_mpi

Getting the below error :
