[Nektar-users] Nektar++ installation error

[Marcon, Julian]

Hi Csaba,

Sorry your questions were not answered earlier. We officially support Windows but hardly anyone actually uses Nektar++ on Windows. I myself started with Windows before switching back to Linux for ease of use. Getting Nektar++ to work on Windows is sometimes tricky as it is in your case apparently.

First things first, the CMake output that you are getting is merely a warning. Nothing to worry about. If it was an error, you wouldn’t have got past that step. Then, I can see that the output corresponds to an attempt to build again after an unsuccessful build. It would be useful for me to have the output of a first clean build: you just need to clear the build directory and repeat steps 8-12. The error that you’re getting seems related to Loki. Could you do try to build again with the THIRDPARTY_BUILD_LOKI flag active?

I see that you’re running Windows 10 and would guess that you have the Creators Update installed. I would personally advise you to install the Windows Subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu preferred): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10. You’ll have a full Ubuntu command line system on your Windows 10 machine and can use Nektar++ on it.

Best,

Subject: [Nektar-users] Nektar++ installation error

Dear all,

I am currently trying to install Nektar++ for Windows 10 following the instructions in user-guide-4.4.1. After completing the building/installation process (point 12.) I got 5 errors. Configuring and Generating in cmake seems successful, although some kind of error message is present (see in Message.txt). In the Output.log you can see the installation process (not my first attempt) and in pic1 and pic2 the appearance of cmake.
I am using Visual Studio 2015 (x64). Should you have any questions or suggestions, please contact me. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,
Csaba Biró
