Compiling ExternalMedia for OMC now about externalmedia

[JonWel]

Hi,

I never tested to use it with OMC.
When I worked on this project, I understood it was only working with Dymola, but that it would be nice if it could be ported to OpenModelica in some maybe future projects.

In term of things that changed, as I focussed on the C++ code and I don't think I introduce much changes that could brake the possibility to use OMC.
So if I had to decide, I would go for 3.3.0-dev, in order to do the work only once.

@jowr will probably have a more enlighten view on this issue.

Could you eventually test to import the Externalmedia Library into OMC just to share your experience?
https://build.openmodelica.org/omc/builds/windows/releases/1.12/final/
From my poor experience sofar, the 32-bit Version digest better the compilation of the Test cases.
However not everything is working well with the Coolprop, Refprop linkage...

Many Thanks

Hello,
I'm trying to build ExternalMedia with OMC.
I experienced some problem.

Here is my step:

git clone https://github.com/slamer59/ExternalMedia.git ExternalMedia-fork
cd ExternalMedia-fork/
git pull origin v.3.3.0-dev
cd Projects
chmod 755 BuildLib-CMake.sh
./BuildLib-CMake.sh

I change a little this script to:

• add a variable pointing to cmake 3 version. I had cmake 2.8 with CMP0053 Policy warning wich raise an error at the end.
• FLUIDP=0

And experienced this problem for Main dependencies and related to CoolProp::REFOPROP:

Do you have an idea ? I think I should deactivate something because libExternalMediaLib.a seems already build ?

I will try with a 32bits version as suggested.

Hi @slamer59 , I can't try myself for now, but looking at your log, it seems it has some problem linking to REFPROP.

I do not think it has anything to do with the use of OMC, but rather a drawback of the current way to import Coolprop. The script you are running download the last development version of CoolProp, whereas it would make more sense to point to the last release, and make some debugging of the Linux script.

So I see 3 issues to solve:

• #8
• To check if everything is still working on the Windows compilation.
• A new issue to open to debug de Linux compilation (if necessary)

[jowr]

The basics work with OMC - many rough edges though. We have to continue working on it, but the information in this issue is outdated now.
