I am continuing to try to use DEAL with Visual Studio. I have had some success but ran into a problem when I tried to include the bundled umfpack via the Cmake directive -D DEAL_II_WITH_UMFPACK=ON
Deal II seemed to build without problems but when I tried to build example step-56, I got unsatisfied externals: amd_malloc, amd_free, etc. After some investigation it appears that those functions are being defined as: nm -g amd_global.obj 0000000000000000 B ?amd_calloc@@3P6APEAX_K0@ZEA 0000000000000008 B ?amd_free@@3P6AXPEAX@ZEA 0000000000000018 B ?amd_malloc@@3P6APEAX_K@ZEA 0000000000000000 D ?amd_printf@@3P6AHPEBDZZEA 0000000000000010 B ?amd_realloc@@3P6APEAXPEAX_K@ZEA but referenced as, for example: $ nm -g umf_malloc.obj 0000000000000000 T ?umf_i_malloc@@YAPEAXH_K@Z U amd_malloc I don't know if this is a fix or simply a work-around, but I added an extern"C" to the definitions of those functions in amd_global.cc as follows: #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif /* standard ANSI-C: */ void *(*amd_malloc) (size_t) = malloc ; void (*amd_free) (void *) = free ; void *(*amd_realloc) (void *, size_t) = realloc ; void *(*amd_calloc) (size_t, size_t) = calloc ; #ifdef __cplusplus } Seems to have solved the problem for me.
