MOLTRES Compiling Issue

[RechardREX]

Hi,
I downloaded MOLTRES on Ubuntu and activated it through mamba, but when I use make -j4, I receive the following:

Hi, Rechard.

I had met a similar error two month ago. @smpark7 told me that the error is from the MOOSE environmet. Moltres may not be compatible with the latest MOOSE environment. Try changing the moose-tools and moose-libmesh versions to the following versions:
mamba install moose-tools=2021.07.14
mamba install moose-libmesh=2021.07.14

There is one point you need to pay attention to. You don't need to compile MOOSE separately because Moltres contains MOOSE as a submodule. The MOOSE files are in projects/moltres/moose​ . The Makefile for Moltres compiles the required components of MOOSE when you compile Moltres. Therefore, you only need to compile Moltres. So you should substitute git clone https://github.com/idaholab/moose.git with git clone https://github.com/arfc/moltres after cd ~/projects and carry on your clone and compilation of Moltres.

With best wishes,

Xu.

Thanks Xu! Yes that's probably the source of your compilation error. Feel free to post here again if you encounter further errors @RechardREX

Thanks a lot, Xu! You solved the problem that bothered me for several days.
