Dear developers,

When I tried to make with vtstcode-190 on vasp 6.3.0, I got an error.

"""""""
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'pyamff_fortran/*.f90' required by 'depend'.
"""""""
What are the possible causes?

I think I followed the instructions before making, but I'm not sure.

Hello,

Did you copy the directory pyamff_fortran in vtstcode-190 to your vasp/vasp.6.3.0/src? Make sure that you have the directory in your src. Let me know if you still have an issue.

Thanks,
Jiyoung

Hello jiyoung,

Thank you for your reply.

After confirming, the directory "pyamff_fortran" is put in src of vasp as a directory.I put all files and directorys into src .

According to the guide, I wrote pyamff_fortran/*.o in the .object file.
But as a try, when I wrote pyamff_fortran/adam.o pyamff_fortran/atom.o ... as each file , it was displayed like this.

"""""""
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'pyamff_fortran/adam.f90' required by 'depend'.
"""""""
I don't know much about how makefiles work, but bfgs.o dynmat.o ... written in .object before pyamff_fortran/*.o seems to be successfully made.

It seems that it cannot make anything in the pyamff_fortran/ directory to create "depend" written in the makefile in the src directory.

Can this be solved by moving the files in pyamff_fortran/ directory to src directory one level higher and setting .object to adam.o instead of pyamff_fortran/adam.o?

By the way,I wrote LIB = lib parser pyamff_fortran in the src makefile.
However, the files in the lib and parser directories are not written in .object.
Is there a possibility that it will be made through other paths that lib and parser pass, even if pyamff_fortran/*.o is not written in .object ?

Thanks,

Could you post your makefile.include, /src/makefile, and /src/.objects? I will try with my own vasp 6.3.0.

Thank you for your cooperation.
These are my files.
I add .txt extention to send so please remove it.
I elased variable MKLROOT HDF5_ROOT in makefile.include

I can't reproduce your error. Can you try "make veryclean" and "make" again?

Thanks,
Jiyoung

@k.nishi:

If you were doing "make" in parallel, could you try doing it serially? (just the "make" command, instead of "make DEPS=1 -jxxx all")

and if you get another error about "ML_PYAMFF", try removing line 91 ( $(VTST_OBJS) \ ) in the src/makefile

Thank you for your patience. To compile vasp in parallel, you need one more modification of your /src/makefile.

For dependencies, you need libs, i.e.,

dependencies: sources libs
$(MAKE) depend

This should fix the error. Thank you for your report. We will update the installation docs.

Best,
Jiyoung

Dear Jiyoung and Sung,

Thank you so so so much. I was able to compile.
