Linker error involving Buildings models

[Francesco Casella]

Please check ​Buildings.Utilities.IO.BCVTB.Examples.TwoRooms.
Linking fails with

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lbcvtb_modelica

not sure what the root cause of this is.

[Andreas Heuermann]

Well I searched for this kind of errors a lot in the last weeks, so I would go like this:

Could be:

• bcvtb_modelica not copied to the right location
• bcvtb_modelica is not available for this platform
• bcvtb_modelica is static / dynamic and the linker is looking for a dynamic / static lib
• rpath is wrong
• Some gcc vs clang issue. They behave a bit different in some cases.

But should be fairly easy to fix this issue or at least to find the exact reason for the error.

You need to download the installer for it and then modify your linker path to find the library. ​https://github.com/lbl-srg/bcvtb/releases/tag/v1.6.0

That will build the model. But to start it, you need to run the GUI and make the GUI start the example.

I'm not sure these should run automatically, but they should probably have the experiment annotation to save default settings...

[Martin Sjölund]

We will simply ignore these models:
