Cantera Config/MountainLion SconsConfig

If you've already run scons, and are changing the configuration, run:

rm cantera.conf

before proceeding.

Put the following in a script, make it executable, and run it:

#/bin/sh

scons build \
    cxx_flags="-arch x86_64 -arch i386" \
    c_flags="-arch x86_64 -arch i386" \
    prefix=$HOME/pkg/cantera/2.0.2 \
    python_package=full \
    with_html_log_files=yes \
    use_sundials=y \
    f90_interface=n \
    build_with_f2c=no \
    sundials_include=$HOME/pkg/sundials/std/include \
    sundials_libdir=$HOME/pkg/sundials/std/lib \
    boost_inc_dir=$HOME/pkg/boost/std \
    boost_lib_dir=$HOME/pkg/boost/std \
    debug=no \
    graphvizdir=/usr/local/bin \
&& \
scons install

Errors

DistributionNotFound Error

If you see a DistributionNotFound error:

$ ./build.sh
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/scons", line 4, in <module>
    import pkg_resources
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: scons==2.3.0

The problem is likely with which scons is on your $PATH. I had issues installing scons with pip and with easy_install, so I installed scons directly from source. However, Python was still trying to pull in the scons binary that easy_isntall/pip had created, so I was getting a problem with the distribution not being found.

The fix was to put the correct scons (corresponding to the version of scons I had built) on my $PATH.

The problem here is that Fortran is trying to build with a 32-bit architecture, which is incompatible with what everything else is trying to build (64-bit).

Solution 1: Don't Use Fortran

Solution 1 is to set f90_interface=no in your scons configuration, so you don't even build the Fortran interface.

Solution 2: Set 64-bit Fortran Flags

You can set F90 flags to build 64-bit versions of stuff, by setting F90_FLAGS='-arch x86_64'. Remember to run rm cantera.conf before re-running scons.

This error is caused by using an old version of Sundials (2.3). Upgrade your Sundials version to 2.5 and this error will go away.

scons: *** [build/lib/libcantera.a] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

Not sure what's causing it, but some googling turned up --disable-asm-optimizations as being necessary to get past these. Unfortunately, Cantera uses scons, not configure.
