Hi Pierre,

It appears that you haven't given the package a FORTRAN compiler to find.  Try

  (native-inputs (list gfortran))

to add one to the build environment.  Do not waste time 'guix install'ing anything, this will have 0 effect.

If the build system still won't find gfortran, try

  (arguments
    `(
      ...
      #:phases
      (modify-phases %standard-phases
        (add-before 'configure 'find-gfortran
          (lambda _
            (setenv "FC" (which "gfortran"))))))

or so.  Untested example, assuming the compiler binary is also named 'gfortran'.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Sent on the go.  Excuse or enjoy my brevity.

In addition to Tobias’s words, the recipe will fail at the tests:

Well, IIRC, gmsh has some dependencies, depending on the default options
selected at configure time.  For instance, see the current Gmsh from the
module (gnu packages maths), e.g., guix edit gmsh or [1] lists all the
dependencies:

    (propagated-inputs
     (list fltk
           gfortran
           glu
           gmp
           hdf5
           lapack
           libx11
           libxext
           mesa
           metis
           opencascade-occt))
    (inputs
     (list fontconfig
           libxft
           python))

Moreover, I am not sure for this flag you set in your recipe:

                         "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/nextsim_gnu/gmsh-3.0.6"

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
simon

Hi Simon, 
Thanks for your reply! I managed to make it work finally. I'm working with an old code that need this specific version of the package.

Also, this code does not use configure/make/make install of cmake/make/make install way of installing.
Instead I need to run a script exporting variables with a . ./script.sh command
I was wondering if you could give me a hint about how to say in a manifest how to run such script (if possible).
You can find such script attached.

Thanks, 
Pierre

Hi Pierre,

Sorry for the late reply.

If you have not found a way in the mean time, I do not have an answer
because I am a bit confused by your question. :-)

Do you mean run the script with some manifest.scm file as with “guix
shell -m manifest.scm” or do you mean include such script with the Guix
recipe of your package variant?

If I understand correctly, you are trying to package nextsim that needs
one specific version of Gmsh, right?

The script set_env_linux.sh reads,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# 1. Before compiling, install:
# - necdf, necdfcxx, boost, openmpi, gcc11:
# sudo apt install libnetcdf-c++4 libnetcdf-dev libblas-dev liblapack-dev libboost-dev \
#	libboost-chrono-dev \ libboost-date-time-dev \ libboost-filesystem-dev \
#	libboost-iostreams-dev \ libboost-log-dev \ libboost-locale-dev \
#	libboost-math-dev \ libboost-mpi-dev \ libboost-program-options-dev \
#	libboost-regex-dev \ libboost-serialization-dev \ libboost-system-dev \ libboost-timer-dev
# - also go to dependencies/gmsh-3.0.6-source
# and run the install_gmsh_for_nextsim.sh WITHOUT changing the CMAKE_PREFIX_INSTALL variable.
# 2. Compiling:
# -check that paths listed below, fit your configuration.
# - run this script to set the environement: ". ./set_env_linux.sh" (NOT ./set_env_linux.sh)
# - run make -j${nproc}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and it is not clear:

 1. if you want or not keep the dependencies from APT or replace them by
    the ones from Guix?
 2. if you want to only build Gmsh with Guix and all the rest not?
 3. how you would like to build nextsim?

What would make sense to me would to build all using Guix; it would
mean:

 a) package the patched version of Gmsh (somehow replace
    install_gmsh_for_nextsim.sh)
 b) tweak set_env_linux.sh for making it Guix-friendly (substitute the
    various hard coded PATH by Guix ones, etc.)
 c) replace the ’build’ phase of cmake build-system by calling this
    modified script by step b.

Well, maybe I misread the question. :-)

simon
