Error in building the 'hello world' example.

[yangzxatimech]

When I tried to build the 'helloworld' example, I met the following error:

---

fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /public3)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
Loading ../../../../amrex/Tools/GNUMake/comps/intel.mak...

/bin/sh: ../../../../amrex/Tools/libamrex/mkversionheader.py: Permission denied
make: *** [tmp_build_dir/s/3d.intel.DEBUG.EXE/AMReX_Version.H] Error 126

Is there any idea on how to fix the issue?

Hi Yang,

Judging by the error message it seems there could be some filesystem and execution privileges that you need but do not have. Have you had other issues with git repositories? I think it would be worth it to try git clone https://github.com/AMReX-Codes/amrex.git to download the AMReX repo. Then navigate to the directory you just cloned, /amrex, and type git status and post the result here.

Also, could you tell me a little more about the the steps and commands you made that gave you these messages? With this info I can probably revise the directions in the helloworld example to be more comprehensive.

Thanks for your question,

Erik

fatal: Not a git repository is a fatal error to git, but not to amrex.

/f90.depends: No such file or directory is fine.

/bin/sh: ../../../../amrex/Tools/libamrex/mkversionheader.py: Permission denied. As @etpalmer63 said, the file does not have the correct permission to be executed.
