Re: [deal.II] Re: Failing to set up simple test configuration

Timo, when I looked into this before posting my question, it seemed to be a pretty clear issue with the perl command not working on the Windows filesystem. Per my recent reply to Wolfgang, I have moved forward with a simple work-around (which simply does not involve running ctest on the

Re: [deal.II] Re: Failing to set up simple test configuration

Wolfgang, thanks for pointing me to this part of the code. I'm not sure when I'll try to fix the problem, because it was very simple to just only ever run ctest on the Linux filesystem, completely circumventing it. I'll make sure to post an update if I ever fix this so that I can run ctest on

Re: [deal.II] Re: Failing to set up simple test configuration

Hey Alex, I am not surprised you are running into issues, because you are the first one to try "ubuntu on windows" to compile deal.II with (at least as far as I know). It could be a permission problem that you are running into, who knows. Would you mind sharing you deal.II detailed.log? On Wed,

I should add that I'm still quite curious as to why this problem occurs; but I don't expect anyone to want to spend time debugging an "Ubuntu on Windows" problem. This is the first issue I've had with the file system. Other outputs write perfectly fine. On Wednesday, September 7, 2016 at

Actually numdiff was already installed; I think that error was referring to the file simply not existing. See my latest reply. Thanks for your time! On Wednesday, September 7, 2016 at 10:05:38 AM UTC+2, Jean-Paul Pelteret wrote: > > Hi Alex, > > numdiff: output: No such file or directory >> >

[deal.II] Re: Failing to set up simple test configuration

This might be a problem with my file system. I've been successfully using the Ubuntu subsystem on Windows 10 for the past few weeks, and that's where the odd "/mnt/c/Users..." path comes from in my question. I just tried this again at my home directory, and it worked. I thought I had tried
