Cannot find the header files when compiling with WSL Linux distributive in VS code

[keassyguang]

Hi, everyone. I'm interested in deal.ii, but I did have trouble configuring the deal.ii.

I am trying to compile the program for Linux in VS code (version 1.63.2) using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) ubuntu 20.04.3. I successfully compile the "Hello, World!" program, but when I try to compile the tutorial programs shown in dell.ii documentation, such as the step-1, the compilation terminated with an error message "No such file or directory". Then, the system includePath in VS code has been set to "/usr/include/**" and other libs as shown in the below figures, however, it dosenot work.

Later, I manually edit some head files. For example, as shown in the below figure, I know the "Kokkos_MasterLock.hpp" file is in the directory of "/usr/include/trilinos", so I modified the 55th line of "Kokkos_Core_fwd.hpp" file by adding the "trilions" directory into the path "#include <trilinos/Kokkos_MasterLock.hpp>" (the original is "#include <Kokkos_MasterLock.hpp>"). After that, the compiler can find the "Kokkos_MasterLock.hpp" file, however, the compilation terminated with another new file named "Kokkos_Macros.hpp". Truly, I can edit the path as the aforementioned method, it is impossible to edit all the files using this way. So, can someone tell me how to compile the program for Linux in VS code using WSL? It will be of great help to me.

Hi,

I use VS Code with WSL. I followed the instructions on these 2 pages and was able to get it to work -

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-wsl

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/cmake-linux

Also, how did you install deal.ii in wsl? I used the PPA and it took care of all the paths to be added.

Best,

Raghunandan.

Hello there,

Sorry for the long delay in the reply. If you didn't figure this out yet: look under

https://launchpad.net/~ginggs/+archive/ubuntu/deal.ii-9.3.0-backports

that is linked to from the 'ubuntu' section of https://www.dealii.org/download.html . A PPA contains packages outside the normal distribution channel. You can follow the directions at the first link to add the new PPA and download deal.II.

@keassyguang did those instructions work for you?

Best,

Davd
