ESyS-Particle

Install ESyS-Particle on Ubuntu14.04

Asked by Zhenyu Han

I could not install ESySparticle on Ubuntu 14.04

I install ESySparticle on Ubuntu 14.04. When I ran

sh autogen.sh

There were some errors

So I searched some information for that.

http://git.enlightenment.org/core/enlightenment.git/commit/?id=c8a624cc85630796c245852fc7c60fc2d5874d37

Then I knew, maybe the new Automake module of Ubuntu 14.04 caused this problem. I modified configure.ac

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([subdir-objects])
#AM_PATH_CPPUNIT([1.10.0], ,[AC_MSG_ERROR([Dud CppUnit version found, must be >= 1.10.0.])])
AM_PATH_PYTHON([2.6])

After, all errors above did not appear again. But I have no idea how to continue the installation next.

Hi Zhenyu,

You should be able to follow this guide from step 7 onwards.

Hi Justin,

I have used ESyS-Particle for more than half a year and installed it many times. Every time, I followed the steps as https://answers.launchpad.net/esys-particle/+faq/1613.

Once, I have installed ESyS-Particle on Ubuntu 14.04 successfully. But after I re-installed Ubuntu, I could not install esys-particle again. And installation only could be done by "sudo apt-get install esys-particle".

This time, after I executed "make", the screen showed me these:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/zyhan/Documents/esys-particle'

Then I executed "sudo make install":

Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Hi Zhenyu,

This seems to have been a problem with the new version of Autotools. An explanation of the problem is here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21609580/autotools-build-fails-due-to-subdir-objects-option-in-am-init-automake

As suggested in that post, please try adding the --disable-dependency-tracking to the ./configure options.

If you had a previous ESyS-Particle installation, also remember to remove the previous installation and build files before trying to install a new installation:
> cd $HOME/esys-particle/source/
> make uninstall
> make distclean

Cheers,

Justin
