[GRASS-user] make fails to find Platform.make

Lads · September 19, 2019, 9:06am

Hi all,

I am compiling GRASS 7.6 in an HPC cluster running Scientific Linux. make is failing to find the folder or file …/…/include/Make/Platform.make, I don’t recall seeing this before.

This is the configuration command:

./configure \

-prefix=/home/WUR/duque004/grass/ \

–enable-64bit --with-fftw-includes=/cm/shared/apps/fftw/openmpi/gcc/64/3.3.7/include/ \

–with-freetype-includes=/home/WUR/duque004/grass/freetypes/freetype-2.9.1/include/ \

–with-postgres=yes \

–with-netcdf --with-geos --with-blas --with-lapack

And its output:

GRASS is now configured for: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Source directory: /home/WUR/duque004/grass/grass-7.6.0

Build directory: /home/WUR/duque004/grass/grass-7.6.0

Installation directory: ${prefix}/grass-7.6.0

using old PROJ 4 API

make then fails for about 50 modules, of all kinds. Running make individually always yields the same error:

Any clues on what may be causing this? Thank you.

Hi all,

I am compiling GRASS 7.6

Please consider to switch to 7.8.
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Release/7.8.0-News

If you have to stick to Python 2, then this modification is needed in the source code (run in the main source code directory):

find -name ‘.py’ | xargs sed -i ‘s,#!/usr/bin/env python3,#!/usr/bin/env python2,’ && find -name '.py’ | xargs sed -i ‘s,python3,python2,’

in an HPC cluster running Scientific Linux. make is failing to find the folder or file …/…/include/Make/Platform.make, I don’t recall seeing this before.

It should be produced by the “configure” step.
Is the file present after having run “configure”?

Best,
Markus

Hi Markus,

thank you for the swift reply. I still do not have all the dependencies for GRASS 7.8 in this cluster, I’ll try that later. The Platform.make file is being created by the configure command:

$ find . -name “Platform.make”

./include/Make/Platform.make

Thank you.

ok, good.

"make distclean" you had obviously done before, right?

Any unusual soft links there?

Hello again,

I started the process from the beginning, running configure on a fresh source folder. I confirmed that indeed the Platform.make was present. This time make completed without errors:

However, make install fails, again because the Platform.make file is missing. Interestingly, make itself is deleting the file, note the rm command below:

How can I prevent make from deleting this file? I can try playing around with permissions, but that would be just a workaround.

Thank you.

so, at this point the

been touched for years (as not needed).

Hi again Markus, thank you for following up.

In your example we can see this:

rm /home/mneteler/tmp//grass76/include/Make/Platform.make
make /home/mneteler/tmp//grass76/include/Make/Platform.make

How can it work? Is the file recreated somehow after the rm command? What happens if you run only make include/Make/Platform.make?

Regarding the volume: I think it is NFS, providing the user areas in the HPC cluster.

Thanks you.

in this case “/home/mneteler/tmp//grass76” is the installation target, “make install” cleans up leftovers from a previous installation. The real Platform.make is in this example here:
/home/mneteler/software/grass76_git/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include/Make/Platform.make
to be installed to
/home/mneteler/tmp//grass76/include/Make/Platform.make

What is you install target, defined with configure --prefix= ?

Ah, I see. You configured with

/configure \

-prefix=/home/WUR/duque004/grass/

which will install GRASS to

/home/WUR/duque004/grass/grass-7.6.0

but that is also your source and build directory. You need to move the grass source to somewhere else or use a different prefix

use a different prefix

Specifying --prefix=/usr/local/ is a good place. Or, /usr/ depending on
where you want non-distribution executables to be found.
