Compiled SU2 with metis 64bit
 

Hello guys,

I used SU2-3.0.0 'eagle'
My metis version is 5.1.0. But when I compile Metis 64bit (set IDXTYPEWIDTH to 64) .There are some compile errors occured below:

......
......
../src/geometry_structure.cpp(5371): error: argument of type "int *" is incompatible with parameter of type "idx_t={int64_t={l ong}} *"
METIS_SetDefaultOptions(options);
^
../src/geometry_structure.cpp(5373): error: argument of type "int *" is incompatible with parameter of type "idx_t={int64_t={l ong}} *"
METIS_PartMeshNodal(&ne, &nn, eptr, elmnts, NULL, NULL, &nparts, NULL, NULL, &edgecut, epart, npart);
......
......

The new version SU2 with an externals, but is also could not work well XD. And the version of metis is 5.0.2.

So how could I use metis 5.1.0 64bit?

I think you should change su2 side 'int' into 'int64'.
It's better su2 can have some kind mechanism to check metis version and adept accordingly.

thanks
 

Thank you very much, could you tell me more details? How could I chang int into int64？

Thanks a lot

change the source file:
src/geometry_structure.cpp

If you are lucky, it may work.

The change may cause other compile errors. Then you have more to fix.

good luck.

Thank you!
