Gromacs Developer Setup

I did try that. I already have the .so files in my /usr/lib :

[sbadani@sbadaniKDE ~]$ ls /usr/lib/libfftw3f.so
/usr/lib/libfftw3f.so

So I built it in vscode, and this is the command that was run :

[proc] Executing command: /usr/bin/cmake --no-warn-unused-cli -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:STRING=/usr/lib/ -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW:STRING=OFF -DDREGRESSIONTESTS_DOWNLOAD:STRING=OFF -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS:BOOL=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -S/home/sbadani/Work/MD/gromacs -B/home/sbadani/Work/MD/gromacs/build -G Ninja

However, it gives the following error:

[cmake]   Could not find fftwf_plan_many_[r2c|c2r] in /usr/lib/libfftw3f.so, take a
[cmake]   look at the error message in

Does this have to do with fftw single precision?

Others have also reported a similar issue in this thread :

I’m working on archlinux, not windows, but still facing the same error :).
If you’ve faced this error before, any help would be appreciated.
