Got 'Type mismatch' error when installed damask-3.0.0 in the step of Cmake compiliation and installation Mehs and Grid Solver

[ruanqc]

Hi, there. I am trying to insatll the latest version of DAMASK-3.0.0 in Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS by using the Source Code method. However, I always faild in the step of cmake "compiliation and installation" of Grid and Mesh Solver. The ERRORs message are as follows,

$cmake -S damask300 -B build-grid -DDAMASK_SOLVER=grid
$cmake --build build-grid --target install

Are there any errors, mistakes, errors, or software version compatibility issues in this installation? I'd very happy If anyone can give me some advices on solving this issure. thank you

I found the Q&A (URL: https://www.damask.mpie.de/support/FAQ/installation.html#why-does-compilation-of-grid-or-mesh-solver-fail-due-to-missing-files) there has mentioned this :
"
Why does compilation of grid or mesh solver fail due to an argument mismatch?
This happens when using gfortran 10 and higher together with MPICH. To relax the strict error checking, add -DBUILDCMD_POST='-fallow-argument-mismatch -Wno-pedantic' when invoking CMake.
"

this maily cause cause the problem since the gfortran 13.2.0 is higher then 10 , how could I use this "add -DBUILDCMD_POST='-fallow-argument-mismatch -Wno-pedantic' ", could anyone give some suggestions? thank you

[ruanqc]

So everyone, I have finally solve this problem by downgrade gfortran version gfortran-9.5.

Hello, after following your advice, I downgraded gfortran to version 9.5. However, I encountered the following issue during computation:error.md I’d like to ask if you've encountered a similar issue before. This seems to be an HDF5 call error.

[MarDiehl]

your simulation is not converging and terminates. The HDF5 error is not directly related, it's probably due to different threads/processes not shutting down properly.

[cherry12306]

Thank you, Professor MarDiehl. I'll double check my simulation.

@ruanqc: good to hear that you solved this. There is another solution, see https://damask-multiphysics.org/support/FAQ/installation.html#why-does-compilation-of-grid-or-mesh-solver-fail-due-to-an-argument-mismatch. I could also imagine that the issue does not exists anymore with newer MPICH version and since your system report shows that you still use PETSc 3.16, I would recommend to update your PETSc installation. Note that DAMASK 3.0.0 does not work with newest PETSc 3.22, but we have a 3.0.1 release available for download that still needs to be announced on the website.

Finally: If you use Ubuntu, the most convenient way to install DAMASK is via the PPA (https://damask-multiphysics.org/installation/package_manager.html#ubuntu). Library versions are not as recent as for a manual installation, but newer than gfortran 9 and PETSc 3.16.

Thank you Prof. Diehl for this reply. After post this question I have found the solution that as you mentioned why-does-compilation-of-grid-or-mesh-solver-fail-due-to-an-argument-mismatch in the support web page, to be honest I just don't know how to "add -DBUILDCMD_POST='-fallow-argument-mismatch -Wno-pedantic'" and make it work when CMAKE compiles the grid and mehs solver. And finally to use a lower version of the gfortran-9.5.
I chose to compile and install from source code, mainly because it might be more easier to implement our particular material model that similar with the existed one, does it can also modify the material model using via PPA installation? I'd like to try the new version once it is available. Thank you and best regards

[MarDiehl]

You have to add the flag when invoking CMake to build the configuration files (the first out of two invocations).
If you want to modify the code, you have indeed to compile from source.

Thank you professor
