Missing Trilinos_version.h?

[jrobcary]

I managed to get trilinos to configure on Windows with -DTrilinos_ENABLE_FLOAT:BOOL='OFF', but now when I go to build I get

FAILED: packages/tpetra/core/src/CMakeFiles/tpetra.dir/Tpetra_Version.cpp.obj

I searched the trilinos source and build dirs and could not find this file. Is it generated at cmake time? Where?

[cgcgcg]

CMake generates the file in the root of the build. I think this is where it comes from:

Trilinos/cmake/tribits/core/package_arch/TribitsGlobalMacros.cmake

Lines 1838 to 1839 in da3375f

	tribits_repository_configure_version_header_file( ${REPO_NAME} ${REPO_DIR} TRUE
	"${${PROJECT_NAME}_BINARY_DIR}/${REPO_DIR}/${REPO_NAME}_version.h")

During configuration, I found

-- NOTE: Can't fill in version date files for Trilinos since D:/winsame/cary/vsimall-dev1/builds/trilinos-16.2.0/.git/ does not exist!
Processing enabled top-level package: Gtest (Libs)

The zip and tar.gz archives generated for releases are not git trees, so that message is expected. I just configured using one of the archive files and Trilinos_version.h does get created for me.

Are you trying 16.2.0?Thx. iBrevityOn Jun 7, 2026, at 11:02 AM, Christian Glusa ***@***.***> wrote: The zip and tar.gz archives generated for releases are not git trees, so that message is expected.

Yes, both 16.2.0 and 17.1.1 work for me.

I recall the problem: Copyright.txt is a link, so not recognized on Windows. Fixed by repacking with link following:

wget https://github.com/trilinos/Trilinos/archive/refs/tags/trilinos-release-16-2-0.tar.gz
tar xf trilinos-release-16-2-0.tar.gz
mv Trilinos-trilinos-release-16.2.0 trilinos-16.2.0
tar cJhf trilinos-16.2.0.tar.xz trilinos-16.2.0
