Error MPI_Fortran while creating FDS solution at Win10.

[ZAN-cod]

Hello.
I’m trying to create solution for Microsoft Visual Studio at PC with Windows10 22H2.
As instruction I use https://github.com/firemodels/fds/wiki/Setting-up-Windows-Environment
Software versions:

Cmake 3.24.3,
Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 17.12.0 (VisualStudio.17.Release/17.12.0+35506.116)
Add-ons
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8.09037
Visual C++ 2022 (Microsoft Visual C++ 2022)
ASP.NET and Web Tools 17.12.178.10385
GitHub Copilot 17.12.31.40377
Intel® Advisor 2024, (Plugin Version 1.3.27),
Intel® C++ Compiler 2024.1
Intel® DPC++ Compatibility Tool 2024.1
Intel® Fortran Compiler 2024.1 (fortran-compiler_base_2024.2.1.81,fortran-compiler_HPCKit_2024.2.1.80),
Intel® Libraries for oneAPI 2024.1
Intel® oneAPI DPC++ Compiler 2024.1
Intel® oneAPI Menu & Samples 10.10.392.9731.

While running Cmake I have a problem -(
If I use in Cmake configure “Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 X64”, then I got an error.
Could NOT find MPI (missing: MPI_Fortran_FOUND)
MPI_Fortran_COMPILER-NOTFOUND

This Cmake Variable “MPI_Fortran_COMPILER” defined in
find_package(MPI REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(fds PRIVATE MPI::MPI_Fortran).

I try manually define in Cmake variables
MPI_Fortran_COMPILER =”C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\mpi\2021.13\bin\ mpif90.bat” , or mpiifort.bat
But, that didn’t help, the same error Could NOT find MPI (missing: MPI_Fortran_FOUND).
Help me please, how to create solution (project) for Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 ?
Please, can anybody load that working solution for Windows in this disscusion?

Install make on your computer (for example: https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm) and make sure the exe is in your path, if you haven't already done so clone the fds github repository, then open a command line window and go to the windows intel build directory and run the make_fds.bat file.

[drjfloyd]

See this wiki for more details:

https://github.com/firemodels/fds/wiki/FDS-Compilation

[drjfloyd]

Though if you are not planning to make changes to the source code, the easiest solution is to use the prebuilt windows binaries at https://github.com/firemodels/fds/releases for official releases and https://github.com/firemodels/test_bundles/releases for the nightly builds.

Thank you for answer, I look in wiki, there istruction is only for shell variant.
" Step 2. Build
Here we will use the Intel MPI Linux target as an example, but all the other targets should compile the same way. "

First I need to create solution for Windows (for learning, debugging and write changes).
Errors while building FDS I plan to fix latter.
How I can create solution for Windows with Cmake?
Please, can you or anybody load that working solution for Windows in this disscusion?

I lanch make_fds.bat to create EXE, result:

@ZAN-cod Right now FDS build using cmake is under development. At this point for Windows build (say impi_intel_win target), execute make_fds.bat from Windows command prompt. That should compile fds and create the executables under the same directory. If you additionally want Hypre and Sundials support with FDS, clone them following the instruction in https://github.com/firemodels/fds/wiki/FDS-Compilation. We keep the Windows build instruction very similar to Linux build, so we never tried to compile the code using Visual Studio solution file. So it is something you need to explore.

From your last post I don't see an error while building using make_fds.bat? Was it successful? If not what is the error message?

[drjfloyd]

I wasn't clear in my request.

First type at the command prompt:
setup_intel_compilers.bat

Then after it finshes, and you get back a prompt, type:
ifx

@ZAN-cod I am able to replicate the issue. It is the parsing of -DBUILDDATE. Your system returns ""18.01.2025 20:34" vs ""Sun 01/19/2025 11:40 AM" which is causing the issue. I am still working on it. Could you provide the output of the following two commands :

date /t
time /t

[mcgratta]

Note: the reason we use ifx and not mpiifx in the FDS makefile is that mpiifx under DOS/Windows cannot resolve the spaces in the git hash, date, etc.

It is strange that "Sun 01/19/2025 11:40 AM" is working with two spaces, but "18.01.2025 20:34" is not working with one space. I tried several different strategies, but not sure how ifx parser works. I found a solution using powershell. I updated the makefile to use powershell to get a date-time without any space within it. Locally it is working for me.
@ZAN-cod Can you take the latest code (git clone [email protected]:firemodels/fds.git) and give it a try.

I download code and run make_fds.bat >> log.txt.
Very strange error!
Do you know, where is standart log build file?
log.txt

I am not sure about this error. It looks like the ifx of Version 2024.2.1 is probably buggy. They might have fixed many errors in the latest version. I installed the latest OneAPI base kit yesterday ( Intel(R) 64, Version 2025.0.4 Build 20241205). There they have fixed the BUILDDATE issue. I am guessing this error might go away as well. If possible try to move to the latest OneAPI.
