having problems with ww3 setup with ww3 7.14

[JMSnyder1980]

I am trying to run w3_automake do compile ww3 7.14 but all I get is this message:

./w3_automake

switch = /home/ww3/WW3/model/work_SEQ/switch.SEQ
Checking all subroutines for modules (this may take a while) ...

The w3_automake and w3_make stop at the point where it says "Checking all subroutines for modules (this may take a while)..." without any indication as to why the setup crashed. I following what it says in the quick start guide and ww3 manual exactly. Does anyone know what is going on and how to resolve this issue?

When I checked the exe directory all I get are these files:

ls ../exe/
switch switch.SEQ

Automake is not fully functional, and gnu build system is about to retire. In stead, try cmake, it does the same as automake but more efficient. It is tested extensively.

how do I use cmake?

I did do the cmake and make install but get this netcdf error:

/home/ww3/WW3/model/src/SCRIP/scrip_netcdfmod.f90:19:6:

use netcdf

Fatal Error: Can't open module file ‘netcdf.mod’ for reading at (1): No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:285: model/src/CMakeFiles/ww3_lib.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:136: all] Error 2

How do I resolve this?

you need to have netcdf libraries installed on your system. You can exclude the programs which are netcdf dependent:
NetCDF - Optionally searched for to build NetCDF executables. Required when SCRIPNC, TRKNC, or OASIS are in switch list.

There is section in the instruction about it, please check the entire instruction:

Finding Libraries
CMake has a standardized way of searching for external libraries including default system paths such as /usr/local.

_If a library is located in a non-standard location CMake will search multiple locations including CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH (a semi-colon separated list) or ROOT.

Note: If your system provides the paths to libraries and include directories automatically (e.g. via a compiler wrapper script, as is the case with the Cray Compiler Environment), then you might wish to stop CMake from trying to automatically finding particular libraries. This can be achieved by passing a list of libraries to ignore via the EXCLUDE_FIND option to CMake (currently only implemented for the netCDF library). E.g:

cmake .. -DEXCLUDE_FIND="netcdf"

[JMSnyder1980]

I took out the netcdf dependent SCRIPNC from the switch_NCEP_gwm file in WW3/model/bin directory

I ran:

cmake .. -DNETCDF=OFF -DEXCLUDE_FIND="netcdf" -DSWITCH=/home/ww3/WW3/model/bin/switch_NCEP_gwm -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install

and make install

I found in WW3/build/bin executables and when I ran ww3_shel from there I got the following error:

[ww3@wavewatch bin]$ ./ww3_shel

                 *** WAVEWATCH III Program shell ***

This type of output indicates that the compilation did not go through properly for ww3_shel.

I did see this warning in the compilation:

[ 55%] Building Fortran object model/src/CMakeFiles/ww3_lib.dir/w3srcemd.F90.o
/home/ww3/WW3/model/src/w3srcemd.F90:1675:0:

Warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive

Can you help me resolve this issue?
