svnversion of "make"

[dputrasahan]

Hi all!

I tried using "make" for ROMS 2.2 and it worked perfectly well. However, when I used "make" for ROMS 3.0, it gave me this error.

make: svnversion: Command not found

I have made sure that "make" version 3.81 was used, but somehow, ROMS 3.0 doesn't recognize the "make" command. Could anyone advise me as to where I can go to get the "make" command to work on ROMS 3.0 please? Thank you so much.

Cheers,
Dian

I don't think this is your problem (if indeed you have a problem).

The above warning is issued by make on systems that don't have svn installed. It should be non-fatal, i.e. make should continue processing the make file normally.

So, what happens next?

Hi,

I have the same issue too.

I've just ask our administrator to install make3.81 version. After 'make', it gives as follows :

[zhoufeng@oceanfe Ocean]$ make
: No such file or directory
makefile:230: INCLUDING FILE Compilers/make_macros.mk WHICH CONTAINS APPLICATION-DEPENDENT MAKE DEFINITIONS
make: svnversion: Command not found
./ROMS/Bin/sfmakedepend --cpp --fext=f90 --file=- --objdir=Build -DROMS_HEADER="upwelling.h" -I ROMS/Include -I ROMS/Nonlinear -I
..................
Master/ocean_control.F Master/ocean_coupler.F Master/propagator.F > Build/MakeDepend
: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Build/MakeDepend', needed by `all'. Stop.


Can you tell me whats the problem?

Thanks in advance!

You need to install svn on the machine you are compiling on. Type 'which svnversion' to see whether you have it installed.
Check the 'makefile' file, there is a line like:

SVNREV ?= $(shell svnversion -n .)

This tells the system which version of the code you are working on, and the version number will be shown in the log file. This is very useful when you are working on different versions of the code.

This message is a non-fatal warning

make: svnversion: Command not found

Installing svn will provide a working svnversion command, thereby eliminating the message, but will not fix FengZhou's problem.

Sorry, FengZhou, I don't have much advice to offer about the problem you reported. You are using up-to-date versions of all the ROMS files, I presume?

Hey, Zhou Feng,

Check your permission under the directory you are compiling. Maybe you don't have the permission to create the scratch directory (./Build/). But I am not sure.

Maybe need to run "make clean".
