(RESOLVED) recipe for target 'module_stringutil.o' failed

[balisto]

Hello,

I'm trying to install WRF on my computer but I am experiencing troubles with the compilation of WPS. I am using a WSL Ubuntu.
My compilation has numerous errors that seem to be very similar. However, since I am a new user of Linux and Fortran, I have some trouble understanding what is my problem.

The error is :

../../ungrib/src/module_stringutil.F
1
Error: Invalid character in name at (1)
../../configure.wps:104: recipe for target 'module_stringutil.o' failed
make[1]: [module_stringutil.o] Error 1 (ignored)




Does anyone has already had this type of error or have an idea how to correct it ?

Thanks for your help.

Please upload your module_stringutil.f90 for em to take a look. thanks.

yes sure

 

[Ming Chen]

Please change the line below in configure.wps from

CPP = /usr/bin/cpp -P -traditional

to

CPP = /lib/cpp -P -nostdinc

Then type ./clean -a and rebuild WPS.

let me know whether it works.

Thank you for your answer.

I actually did what you suggested, I only performed ./clean -a before modifying the file configure.wps otherwise I noticed that making ./clean -a deleted the file configure.wps

Unfortunately I still have the initial error, and apparently additionnal ones too.

I tried to understand the error in the file module_debug.f90 but I cannot open it on my computer, the file is empty.

I attached the error file.

I am sorry to get back to you so late, but this is because we are extremely busy recently. I just wonder whether you have solved this issue?

Hello,

No problem, I didn't really solve the problem. Instead of compiling WRF into the WSL(windows subsystem for linux) I compiled it with a linux installed in dual boot. I concluded that the problem came from the WSL.
