makefile:32: error

[ming]

Hi there,

I am a beginner. I am having some difficulty on installing ROMS. I am installing it through cygwin on windows 7 but I cannot create the executable oceanS. When I try to execute the build.bash that is what happens:

$ ./build.bash
makefile:32: *** This makefile requires one of GNU make version 3.80 3.81 3.82.. Stop.
makefile:32: *** This makefile requires one of GNU make version 3.80 3.81 3.82.. Stop.

I think that I have installed the GNU make vs 3.82 when I installed cygwin.

Thank you very much.


Kind Regards,

Ming

With my up-to-date installation of Cygwin, The make version is 3.82.90. The version-testing code in the make file is not very clever: it doesn't find "3.82.90" in the list of acceptable make versions, so it aborts. In fact, this version has no problems in building ROMS.

Suggested solutions: either change the version-testing code so that it accepts "3.82.90" or delete it entirely.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for replying to me. How do I either change the version-testing code so that it accepts "3.82.90" or delete it entirely? Where can I find the version-testing code?

Hi Mark,

I found it myself. roms > trunk > makefile

Open makefile file

Find NEED_VERSION := 3.80 3.81 3.82

Chane it to NEED_VERSION := 3.80 3.81 3.82 3.82.90

Save the file

It works. Thanks.


Kind Regards,
