<p>Dear ETK developers, </p>
<p>While attempting to compile CarpetX with the most recent version of ETK,<br>
everything seemed to go smoothly except when it<br>
tries to build the external library openPMD. Apparently the library<br>
tries to fetch a github repository during compilation, e.g.<br>
nlohmann_json, which is not possible to do on the cluster I'm trying<br>
to do it since it has no connection to the outside. </p>
<p>Naturally, I downloaded the repository locally, sent it to my cluster<br>
manually and set the path on my cluster optionlist file<br>
<code>simfactory/mdb/optionlists/marenostrum5.cfg</code>:</p>
<p>openPMD_json_src = path/to/my/local/repo </p>
<p>However during compilation it still attempts to clone the repo and I<br>
still fail to find the correct place to set this path. For this reason I compiled <br>
OpenPMD separately on my system and added the corresponding paths:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><code><span>OPENPMD_DIR = /home/uib/uib416720/ETK2024/CarpetX/openPMD-api_build</span>
<span>OPENPMD_LIB_DIRS = /home/uib/uib416720/ETK2024/CarpetX/openPMD-api_build/lib</span>
<span>OPENPMD_INC_DIRS = /home/uib/uib416720/ETK2024/CarpetX/openPMD-api_build/openPMD-api/include</span>
<span>openPMD_SOURCE_DIR = /home/uib/uib416720/ETK2024/CarpetX/openPMD-api_build/openPMD-api</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>to simfactory/mdb/optionlists/marenostrum5.cfg which I see during compilation that simfactory recognizes them:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><code><span>Setting OPENPMD_DIR to '/home/uib/uib416720/ETK2024/CarpetX/openPMD-api_build'</span>
<span> Setting OPENPMD_LIB_DIRS to '/home/uib/uib416720/ETK2024/CarpetX/openPMD-api_build/lib'</span>
<span> Setting OPENPMD_INC_DIRS to '/home/uib/uib416720/ETK2024/CarpetX/openPMD-api_build/openPMD-api/include'</span>
<span> Setting openPMD_SOURCE_DIR to '/home/uib/uib416720/ETK2024/CarpetX/openPMD-api_build/openPMD-api'</span>
<span>End of options from '/home/uib/uib416720/ETK2024/Carpet
