Dear Community,


Although I have been successful in building the basic configuration from source, I encountered some issues when wanting to rebuild it with MKL and openBlas features.



Firstly, I downloaded and installed the MKL library and as a result its content is found in /opt/intel/mkl.



When trying to build using meson, by the following code,

./meson.py build -Denable-autodiff=true -Denable-directdiff=true -Denable-pywrapper=true -Denable-mkl=true -Denable-openblas=true -Dblas-name=openblas -Dmkl_root=/opt/intel/mkl

I get the following output:

michalish@DESKTOP-63FOA2D:~/SU2$ ./meson.py build -Denable-autodiff=true -Denable-directdiff=true -Denable-pywrapper=true -Denable-mkl=true -Denable-openblas=true -Dblas-name=openblas -Dmkl_root=/opt/intel/mkl The Meson build system Version: 0.52.999 Source dir: /home/michalish/SU2 Build dir: /home/michalish/SU2/build Build type: native build Project name: SU2 Project version: 7.0.1 C compiler for the host machine: cc (gcc 8.3.0 "cc (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0") C linker for the host machine: GNU ld.bfd 2.31.1 C++ compiler for the host machine: c++ (gcc 8.3.0 "c++ (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0") C++ linker for the host machine: GNU ld.bfd 2.31.1 Host machine cpu family: x86_64 Host machine cpu: x86_64 Program python3 found: YES (/usr/bin/python3) Run-time dependency MPI for c found: YES 3.1.3 Run-time dependency MPI for cpp found: YES 3.1.3 Message: Boost sources found.

As seen from above, although the mkl library is installed for some reason it says that

Run-time dependency mkl-static-lp64-seq found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

This does not stop the building procedure, so when I compile/install using ninja it goes over the 795 files, however I have the suspicion that it does not compile the library. As a result when I run the tutorials it does not find the mkl libraries.



I would greatly appreciate any form of advise and I apologize if this is a rookie mistake but I am a recent user of both SU2 and Linux. Thank you in advance

Hi

I updated the documentation for this yesterday https://su2code.github.io/docs_v7/Bu...2-Linux-MacOS/

That message just means that meson did not find the library via pkg-config and so it reverted to the path in -Dmkl_root and it found the required libraries there otherwise the build would have failed.

Now what you need is for the operating system to know where the libraries are, do:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/intel/mkl/lib/intel64
before running SU2 or simply add it to the .bashrc file.

Couple of additional clarifications:
It is either MKL or OpenBLAS, not both at the same time, MKL takes precedence.
We don't compile any of the BLAS dependencies, we just link against them.

Cheers
