ACML support problem

[youngikSong]

Dear VFS-Wind developers

While compiling the code, it is written in manual that I have to write my ACML folder location at makefile.local. However, since I don't have ACML, I tried to install ACML from official AMD support website(https://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/cpu-development/amd-core-math-library-acml/), but support for ACML was ended at 2018 and I couldn't access to library. Is there other substitute library to be used instead of ACML? I tried AMD Math Library instead, but it didn't worked.

Best Regards.

I meet the same problem! could you please tell me how you solve it?

Sorry for being late

Last year, I sent mail to this lab and received some solution; you don't need ACML

I excerpted some part of reply below. Hope this to be useful for you!

use flag below while compiling PETSC library
--download-f-blas-lapack=1

there is no need for the -lacml flag (LIBFLAGS). Instead, you must provide the library path to the BLAS and LAPACK libraries and use the flag for the installed libraries

remove -lx11 flag since we don't need X11 for VFS-wind

If PETSC isn't fully installed and show you error, do this

1. Move to the PETSC library path directory (/home/PCNAME/source/petsc-3.1-p6/installation_folder/lib)
2. In that directory, you must have all the library objects you may need to compile. In my case, I have the following:
   libfblas.a libflapack.a libHYPRE.a libpetsc.a libscalapack.a
3. Modify the LIBFLAGS variable to include these libraries. For example:
   LIBFLAGS= -lfblas -flapack -lHYPRE -lpetsc -lscalapack

I had tons of steps of removing error even after this step, so let me know if you experience such things too

Dear Song

Recently I'm learning VFS as a software, since I haven't used linux system, it's a bit difficult to start from compiling the files, also the source code of VFS looks complicated, can you give me some advice. Looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards.
