Installation using cmake

Compile with cmake

cmake will find libraries and headers automatically. You can also specify libraries and headers manually.

Detiled usage of cmake command, see https://cmake.org/.

Preparation

In advance, required software install as following directory structure.

  $HOME
    |-- local
          |-- bin
          |-- include
          |-- lib

Add $HOME/local/bin in $PATH environment variable.

Next, check whether already installed cmake. You may need to install version 2.8.11 or later.

$ cmake --version
cmake version 2.8.12.2

Compiling

Compile FrontISTR.

cd `${FSTRBUILDDIR}`
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j2

-j2 option follows make command tells make to execute simultaneously. Reduce compile time when increasing the number of simultaneous.

Executing make install

When finished to compile, execute following command.

make install

This software will be installed in the /usr/local/bin directory or in the directory specified by -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/local ..

Which options enabled in compiled FrontISTR(fistr1) can confirm as following command.

$ ./fistr1 -v
FrontISTR version 5.0.0 (2d3fdb51979459c7ea9357a7c9b790fa69dfd4e2) 
MPI: Enabled
OpenMP: Enabled
HECMW_METIS_VER: 5
Compile Option: -p --with-tools --with-metis --with-mumps --with-lapack --with-ml 

cmake options

You can explicitly various options at configuration time.

Options (Default) Contents Remarks
-DWITH_TOOLS=ON Compiling tools such as partitioners hecmw_part1 etc.
-DWITH_MPI=ON Enable MPI require libraries
-DWITH_OPENMP=ON Enable OpenMP require supported compiler
-DWITH_REFINER=ON Enable REVOCAP_Refiner functionality require libraries
-DWITH_REVOCAP=ON Enable REVOCAP_Coupler functionality require libraries
-DWITH_METIS=ON Enable METIS functionality 4.0.3 and 5.1.0 supported
-DMETIS_VER_4=OFF In case of using metis-4.0.3, specify ON In case of using metis-5.1.0, it isn't necessary to specify it.
-DWITH_MKL=ON Enable MKL PARDISO functionality require libraries
-DWITH_MUMPS=ON Enable MUMPS functionality require libraries
-DWITH_LAPACK=ON Enable LAPACK functionality require libraries
-DWITH_ML=ON Enable Trilinos ML functionality require libraries
-DWITH_DOC=OFF Documentation of the source code require doxygen and graphviz
-DOLD_RES_FORMAT=OFF Revert result file format if ON is specified

The list of variables that can be set with cmake can be confirmed with the following command.

cmake -L

Other options are as follows.

Options Contents Remarks
-DBLA_VENDOR= Specify vendor name of BLAS and LAPACK Refer to the FindBLAS.cmake
-DBLAS_LIBRARIES= Directly specifies BLAS library Absolute path
-DLAPACK_LIBRARIES= Directly specifies LAPACK library Absolute path
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= Specify installing path. Default is /usr/local If specifies -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/local,
binaries will copy to $HOME/local/bin
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER= Specify C compiler -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icc (ex. Intel C compiler)
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER= Specify C++ compiler -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpc (ex. Intel C++ compiler)
-DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER= Specify Fortran compiler -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=ifort (ex. Intel Fortran compiler)
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH= Specify path of libraries -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/tools

About test

This software includes test scripts for validating compiled binaries.

In order to execute the test you need to install ruby in advance. If ruby is already installed, test is automatically enabled.

Test is executed as follows.

make test

Results as follows.

Running tests...
Test project /home/fistr/FrontISTR/build
      Start  1: Static_exA_Test
 1/23 Test  #1: Static_exA_Test ..................   Passed    3.54 sec
      Start  2: Static_exB_Test
 2/23 Test  #2: Static_exB_Test ..................   Passed    2.51 sec
...

You can output verbosed messages as follow.

make test ARGS="-VV -j4 -O test_log.txt"

Results will output in test_log.txt file. For more information;

ctest --help

About documentation of source code

For learning or investigating the source code, you can generate HTML documents that describes relationship functions from the source codes.

You need install doxygen and graphviz in advance.

cmake -DWITH_DOC=ON ..
make doc

Generated HTML can browse like as follow.

firefox doc/html/index.html

Doxygen

Enable Debugging

To enable debugging, specify the following option.

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="DEBUG" ..

To perform more advanced debugging, specifying the following options is useful for investigating memory leaks.

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="DEBUG" -DDEBUG_EXTRA=ON ..
