first of all a big thank to the developpers for having make Elmer !
It's impressive.
I use it since years for thermal studies on material. Now I'm trying to develop a new model and solver. I'm working on windows 10.
I'm able to compile the model and solver as per instruction in the documentation but I need to debug them.
I would like to use VS-Code. I was able to install a Fortran compiler and debugger in VS-Code, but now I don't know how to write the script to compile and debug all the files of Elmer solver.
I made different tests and installed MSYS2, TDM-GCC, mingw32, dgb. They all work with VS Code . I succeed to compile, run and debug a single Fortran .f90 file.
But I've no idea how to use CMAKE to create the compile/link list as I'm not familiar with it.
I tried to have a look on those scripts https://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/physic ... s/scripts/ but I'm not able use them with VS Code neither for a simple build nor for debug purpose. May be because I'm not able to use CMAKE with VS Code.
So any hint would be appreciated.
If you are interested in VS Code on Windows, just install it and then install the following extensions:
C/C++ IntelliSense
Code Runner
fortran by Xavier Hahn
Fortran Breakpoint Support
Native Debug
You can clone the Elmer repository.
Start VS without code
Then there is an open CMAKE project option under file. It will check for any configuration errors
and send you to this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/b ... om=vs-2019
thank but I will continue on VS-Code a little bit before to jump to another IDE.
I made some progress: now CMAKE is runing, my mistake was that I didn't open the root file CMakeLists.txt but the one under fem.
Now opening the whole Elmer project CMAKE is runing and giving this error
[cmake] CMake Error at cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:108 (message):
[cmake] Could NOT find MPI_C (missing: MPI_C_LIBRARIES MPI_C_INCLUDE_PATH)
Anybody knows how to install MPI on Windows 10 and let CMAKE knows where it is ?
If you search the forum for compiling Elmer with MPI = True in Windows, you will find a lack of success by others. The simplest approach to successfully compile Elmer in Windows is to disable MPI, such as setting
WITH_MPI FALSE
in Cmake.
Rich.
Edit: If one compiles Elmer in the Elmer Virtual Machine, Ubuntu 20, then compiling WITH_MPI to True works as expected. The issue with MPI is strictly a Windows compilation issue.

The PPA in windows works with MPI, so somebody is successfully compiling it with MPI. However, a good start is in steps, compile with one option at a time, then work on the options that do not work.
Just to check the easy stuff, we deleted the cmake cache and deleted the previous build folder, followed by configure and generate, before rerunning make?
Sorry in advance, in case you already did those steps.
many thank for your hint Rich, I did some progress.
I've updated the file C:\temp\elmerfem-release-9.0\CMakeLists.txt with the following lines (file is attached too)
1st lines: CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 3.5.0)
PROJECT(Elmer Fortran C CXX)
set(CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR "C:/temp/elmerfem-release-9.0")
and line 95: SET(WITH_MPI FALSE) # CACHE BOOL "Use MPI parallelization")
then deleted the build directory, but don't find the cache.
Then when CMakeLists.txt is saved CMAKE execute automaticaly and returns the following:
