Dear community,

I use SUAVE 2.4.0 and I want to use it with OpenVSP 3.15.0, which is default one used in SUAVE. I have cloned the source code of v3.15 from github page. I followed the installation instructions on:


However, I get error:

[ 14%] Completed 'STEPCODE'
[ 14%] Built target STEPCODE
make: *** [Makefile:152: all] Error 2

I would appreciate any help,

Thanks,
Gazi

Is there a reason you can't use the supplied Ubuntu binaries?

Is there a reason you can't use 3.25.0?  OpenVSP is very conservative in terms of backward compatibility, there should be no reason you can't update OpenVSP and still have SUAVE be happy with everything.

If you want to continue debugging your build, we are going to need more information than what you have provided.  Build programs like Make are notorious for having an error -- but continuing to work for a while before quitting (particularly for parallel builds).  Consequently, you'll need to go back in the build log to figure out what has really failed.

If you are doing a parallel build '-j X' -- then you might just try running 'make' again.  Sometimes parallel builds run into a race and fail when nothing is really wrong.  Starting them over usually helps.

Thank you very much for your answer.

The reason I install it from "scratch" instead of "precompiled binaries" is that SUAVE advises that in:


Currently, I use the version 3.25.0 and It works with no problem. However, the thing is that the default version of OpenVSP used by SUAVE is 3.15 and there exist a problem with output / input format created by SUAVE with OpenVSP 3.25. For example, that is expected to be a Blended Wing Body:

There is a discussion on that in a topic:


I have no clue that this is a bug of BWB tutorial in SUAVE or there is conflicting commands between OpenVSP versions. I am a beginner vsp user.

I hope I could explain the reason for me to attempt to install an older version of OpenVSP. Anyway, I think I might somehow change the way SUAVE communicates with OpenVSP in the source code or try precompiled 3.15 version as you suggested.

Thank you,

Gazi

If that geometry is being created by any version, it is a bug.  Likely a bug in the user's script -- but possibly someplace else.

I am not super familiar with how SUAVE is interacting with OpenVSP, so I can't be 100% sure.

However, I would not expect using 3.15.0 to be a solution to this issue.

Using an old version of OpenVSP is never a good solution to a problem.

I don't know why that SUAVE tutorial says you must compile yourself.  Perhaps you can ask them for clarification.  That restriction might not apply anymore.
