build error: make: *** No rule to make target `$casename/bld/lib/libatm.a'

[lisa17]

hi,
I tried to build cesm2.1.3, terminal displays the folllowing error message：
ERROR: BUILD FAIL: buildexe failed, cat $casename/bld/cesm.bldlog.201026-17364
then I check the cesm.bldlog, part of content is as follows:

Building a single executable version of target coupled model
ERROR: Command make exec_se -j 8 EXEC_SE=$casename/bld/cesm.exe MODEL=driver LIBROOT=$casename/bld/lib -f $caseroot/Tools/Makefile failed rc=2
*****
make: *** No rule to make target `$casename/bld/lib/libatm.a', needed by `$casename/bld/cesm.exe'. Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Here $casename and $caseroot are just being used instead of the absolute path.

the case compset is G: 2000_DATM%NYF_SLND_CICE_POP2_DROF%NYF_SGLC_WW3
the compiler I used is intel2016 version.
Would you please give me some hints? Any suggestions or help are highly appreciated. Thank you so much!

The error message here is misleading, your atm component didn't build - please check the log atm.bldlog.201026-17364

Thanks very much，jedwards，
I've checked , but there is no atm.bldlog.201026-17364 in $casename/bld/ ，the only folder associated with atm is $casename/bld/atm/obj and it's empty .
I wonder if the compiler version is too old. Do you have any other suggestions?

Make sure that your source code tree is complete: ./manage_externals/checkout_externals -S
Try a clean build, is the problem repeatable?

Hi, Jedwards,

(1) I've run ./manage_externals/checkout_externals -S
the only error is SVN, maybe because the hpc I'm using can not connect to the network. Some messages are as follows:

Checking status of externals: clm, fates, ptclm, mosart, ww3, cime, cice, pop, cvmix, marbl, cism, source_cism, rtm, cam, clubb, carma, ERROR:root:SVN returned invalid XML message
ERROR: SVN returned invalid XML message

(2) I created a same case （G component), build failed again. The error messages are same as before, the ww\cice\pop can be built successfully. I don't understand why libatm.a is needed, the state of atm component is datm actually.

Could you please give me some advices about what I should do next ?

Hi jedwards,
I've compiled G case successfully with CESM2.1.1 version.
The source code for version 2.1.3 may have been downloaded by mistake.
Anyway, I've decided to use cesm2.1.1
Thanks for all your assistance!

Best regards,

 

[jedwards]

You are strongly encouraged to use the latest version - in this case 2.1.3, there is no difference that I am aware of
between 2.1.1 and 2.1.3 that would cause this error. I suspect you have an incomplete source code download.

Hi jedwards,
Sorry for replying so late. I've just finished the test of cesm2.1.3 , built and submitted a job successfully.
The previous errors was truly because there was an incomplete source code download of cesm2.1.3.
Thank you very much for all your help!
