[AMBER] Compiling Amber24 fails after changing gti_controlVariable.i for GaMD-PPI

Hello,

I am trying to run GaMD-PPI through Amber24. My system is relatively large, which meant that I needed to update some atom limits in the $AMBERHOME/amber/pmemd24_src/src/pmemd/src/gti_controlVariable.i file according to the instructions here: http://archive.ambermd.org/202412/0029.html. Specifically, I made the following changes:

MaxNumberTIAtom = 750 -> 18750
MaxNumberTIPair = 300 -> 7500
MaxNumberREAFAtom = 500 -> 12500

Before making these changes, I was able to compile Amber24 without issue. After making these changes, I cannot compile Amber24 anymore; I run into various vague errors while doing "make install" such as:

CMake Error at pmemd_cuda_DPFP_generated_gti_NBList_kernels.cu.o.RELEASE.cmake:278 (message):

And more errors like this:

Any ideas on how to increase the atom limits for GaMD-PPI while still being able to compile Amber24 would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance~

Best,
Christian
