I am trying to set up deal.II on a computer with no system-wide zlib. I
do not have sudo privileges, thus I cannot just install, so I compiled
it from the source and installed in my home directory. Now I am trying
to build p4est using it. According to the message thrown by the scrip
(https://www.dealii.org/current/external-libs/p4est.html) I should
export CPPFLAGS="-DSC_LOG_PRIORITY=SC_LP_ESSENTIAL
-I/export/home/mwichro/lib/zlib/include/"
export LDFLAGS="-L/export/home/mwichro/lib/zlib/lib/"
Apparently setting those does not resolve the problem, the script still
complains about zlib.
By going through what the script really does, I think the following line
triggers an error:
grep -q 'P4EST_HAVE_ZLIB *1' "$BUILD_FAST/src/p4est_config.h" \ || bdie
"$MISSING_ZLIB_MESSAGE"
As far as I understood, it looks
into p4est-build/FAST/src/p4est_config.h . That file on my system does
not exist. I also went through the config.log, it looks like it contains:
#define LIBS " -lz -lm "
so I guess it links with zlib?
Michal: I don't know whether anyone still remembers how that
installation script came about. What happens if you just remove the line
that causes the script to abort?
By the way, I moved to Heidelberg and I am happy to continue my work
with deal.II library.
Nice, glad to hear you landed in a good place a lot of us have good
memories of!
Best
Wolfgang
