Problem when compiling WPS

[yjzhang]

Hello,

I carefully followed this guide on installing the latest version of WRF and WPS on GNU architecture. The WRF compilation seems to have gone okay. Only issue is that my exe files are created on the run folder and not on the main. And my exe files are all copies, and I can't find the original files. I am attaching my log.compile and configure.wrf files. I have already used the ./clean -a command and retried compiling but to no success. Any guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks!

version：
wrf 4.6.7 wps 4.6.0 gcc 12

mac air m1 arm64 homebrew

Solved: At first, I found that git could not connect, but I didn't care. I downloaded WRF directly from github. Later, I reset the git interface and was able to connect. The installation was also completed.

This is due to the configure_new changes that are mentioned in this post here:

How to install WRF using configure_new in a specific folder

Good morning, I have a question for the admins. I have successfully install WRF v4.6.1 using the configure_new script with Intel OneAPI 2025. ./configure_new -x -p "oneAPI LLVM" -- -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=ifx -DMPI_Fortran_COMPILER=mpiifx -DMPI_C_COMPILER=mpiicx -DWRF_CORE=ARW...

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only confused about where the files are located.

The quick answer is you can find the location of the links by opening a terminal and using

ls -al

it will show everything about the files including where they are linked too
