Problems with ninja command
 

After downloading the source code of SU2 7.5.1 from github and switching to the 'develop' branch from the 'master' one, I tried to build the 'build' (enabling CoolProp and disabling CGNS support) via the command

./meson.py build -Denable-coolprop=true -Denable-cgns=false

This seemed to work. When I run the command to install

./ninja -C build install

I get the following error:

What I tried then was to disable the MPI support and try again with the ninja command. This time I got a different error:

Has anyone faced this problem before or can someone help me to solve it?

Hi, thanks for your interest in SU2 and CoolProp.


I succeeded the compilation and what I did is the following:


1. download SU2 develop branch
$ git clone https://github.com/su2code/SU2.git --branch=develop

2. compile
$ ./meson.py build -Denable-coolprop=true -Denable-cgns=false -Dwith-mpi=enabled --prefix=/home/yan/Downloads
3. build
$ ./ninja -C build install -j 4


If you encounter some issue with mpi, you can try:
$ sudo apt install libopenmpi-dev


Good luck.

Hello Penggege,

I cannot figure out how to install SU2 with coolprop enabled.

When using ninja, I get errors like:

Would you have any idea on how I can install SU2 with coolprop?

I am building with Cmake from Source. SU2 Version is blackbird.

Thanks a bunch,
Vinz

it looks like you are missing the fmt package. I think it's called libfmt-dev so you could try installing that with apt-get.
