CA 14.6 and MFRONT: Compiling TFEL is ok but MFRONT 'non disponible'

lc78 · 2021-06-09 16:07:21

Hello,

I have an issue using MFRONT with Code Aster 14.6. I compiled Code Aster 14.6 from the full source package 'aster-full-src-14.6.0-1.noarch.tar.gz'.

python3 setup.py install --prefix=/opt/aster/aster14.6.0

Everything seems to be ok. Also the installation of TFEL was successful. See the summary of installation. But when I call Code Aster it is reported that MFRONT is 'non disponible'. When I run a mfront test case like 'mfron01a' Code Aster cannot find 'mfront'.

Looking in setup.dbg I found the following message.

<DBG> Checking for TFELHOME variable : /opt/aster/aster14.6.0/public/tfel-3.2.1
<DBG> Checking for program 'mfront' : not found

Attached is the file setup.dbg for further information.

At the moment I do not have any idea where to look next. I hope somebody has an idea or hint how to proceed.

Best regards,

Michael

Hi,
would you give me the return of:

ls /opt/aster/aster14.6.0/public/tfel-3.2.1/bin

Best,

Thomas

thomas.helfer · 2021-06-09 17:52:05

maybe you could try to make a link between mfront and mfront-3.2.1

$ ln -s /opt/aster/aster14.6.0/public/tfel-3.2.1/bin/mfront-3.2.1 /opt/aster/aster14.6.0/public/tfel-3.2.1/bin/mfront

lc78 · 2021-06-09 18:40:45

I set the symbolic link but it does not change the behaviour.

I have built on the same machine version 15.2. With 15.2 MFRONT is found.

thomas.helfer · 2021-06-09 19:01:00

So the error is still "mfront, file not found" (or something similar ?)

What about:

$ ls -l /opt/aster/aster14.6.0/public/tfel-3.2.1/bin/mfront

$ file /opt/aster/aster14.6.0/public/tfel-3.2.1/bin/mfront

lc78 · 2021-06-09 19:24:40

ls -l /opt/aster/aster14.6.0/public/tfel-3.2.1/bin/mfront:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 ca ca 57 Jun 9 19:31 /opt/aster/aster14.6.0/public/tfel-3.2.1/bin/mfront -> /opt/aster/aster14.6.0/public/tfel-3.2.1/bin/mfront-3.2.1

file /opt/aster/aster14.6.0/public/tfel-3.2.1/bin/mfront:

/opt/aster/aster14.6.0/public/tfel-3.2.1/bin/mfront: symbolic link to /opt/aster/aster14.6.0/public/tfel-3.2.1/bin/mfront-3.2.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I looked deeper into the code. There is a file crea_lib_mfront_ops.py which calls MFRONT as far as I understand. It uses subprocess to call MFRONT on the os level. Here I found a significant difference between 14.6 and 15.2.

CA 14.6: crea_lib_mfront_ops.py

line 39: cmd = [aster_core.get_option('prog:mfront'),"--build","--interface=aster"]

aster_core.get_option('prog:mfront') returns: mfront

CA 15.2: crea_lib_mfront_ops.py

line 39; cmd = [ExecutionParameter().get_option('prog:mfront'),"--build","--interface=aster"]

ExecutionParameter().get_option('prog:mfront') returns: /opt/aster/aster15.2.0-gnu/public/tfel-3.2.1/bin/mfront-3.2.1

V 14.6 returns just 'mfront' while CA does not know where to find it. In 15.2 the absolute path is returned.

Could you try to update the PATH at the beginning of your code_aster script ?

lc78 · 2021-06-09 19:56:43

With the updated $PATH mfront is found via the symbolic link.

'as_run --vers=14.6 --test mfron01a' runs sucessfully.

Of course this does not change the message after invoking Code Aster.

Sorry. Shall we consider that we have found a woraround or not ?

lc78 · 2021-06-09 20:18:11

It is a suitable workaround. It is ok for me at the moment.

I wonder about the cause that crea_lib_mfront_ops.py does not return the abs path to the mfront executable. Does this depend on the linux distribution? I use kubuntu 18.04. Maybe I have the chance in the next days to compile under openSUSE to see how CA behaves.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

thomas.helfer · 2021-06-09 20:25:38

Hi,
Can't answer you question right now. Maybe the code_aster devs may help
Thomas

lc78 · 2021-06-09 20:38:42

Hi Thomas,

yes, maybe the developers can help.

Behaviour is the same under kubuntu 20.04. CA 14.6 returns just mfront. CA 15.2 returns the abs path to the mfront executable.

Thanks again for the discussion,

Michael

lc78 · 2021-06-10 17:16:59

Further tests with kubuntu 18.04. Ca 14.4 fails, CA 14.2 works well.

CA 14.4: crea_lib_mfront_ops.py
'prog:mfront' returns: mfront

CA 14.2: crea_lib_mfront_ops.py
'prog:mfront' returns: /opt/aster/aster14.2.0/public/tfel-3.1.1/bin/mfront

I had this same issue while installing codeAster14.6 for the first time. I was able to get Mfront tests to run using the symbolic link as posted.

I was able to get Mfront to be enabled with a ./waf configure of the aster source linking a source compiled tfel-3.4.3, among a bunch of other file modifications. I'm using Linux Mint 19.3.
