I am curious that all the source code were packaged into zip format. When trying to compile the source code, unfortunately, an error could occur as
:/$ ./configure
Error: permission denied
# the solution
:/$ chmod +x configure
The easy solution is modifying the attributes of the configure file.
By this I succeeded to compile bft package; however when compiling fvm, I have got another error shown as
checking for bft version >= "1.0.0"... configure: error: in `/home/wu/saturne_packages/version 2.0.1/fvm-0.15.2':
configure: error: compatible bft version not found
I checked and found that the "make install" script of bft didn't install proper header files into the destination directory (by default, /usr/local/include). I guess this is a bug to fix, though the headers can also be copied manually.
I didn't try the rest of the compilation yet.
