The GNU compilers, gcc and g++, work very well, but you will need to |
| 39 |
|
use a Fortran *95* compler for the fortran side of OOPSE, and |
| 40 |
|
pgf90 does not implement the required portions of the f95 |
| 41 |
|
language. Fortran77 and Fortran90 (i.e. g77 and pgf90) are *not* |
| 42 |
< |
sufficient to compile the fortran portions of OOPSE. |

sufficient to compile the fortran portions of OOPSE. Gfortran |

does not yet build our fortran code, but g95 might. If you use |

one of these compilers, please let us know of any build or runtime |

errors. |

2) The Scalable Parallel Random Number Generators Library (SPRNG). You |
| 48 |
< |
can obtain SPRNG here: http://sprng.cs.fsu.edu/ |
| 49 |
< |
SPRNG is a *requirement* for compiling OOPSE. |
| 47 |
> |
2) GNU make (also known as gmake). Regular make won't work. |
| 48 |
> |
Really. We've tried. Don't bother with regular make. |
| 49 |
> |
Seriously. You need GNU make. Did we mention that you |
| 50 |
> |
need GNU make? |
| 51 |
|
|
| 52 |
< |
3) MPI. We like MPICH. Other implementations might work, but we |
| 52 |
> |
3) Perl. Compilation dependencies in Fortran95 are somewhat |
| 53 |
> |
complicated, so the build process uses a perl script called |
| 54 |
> |
filepp to do this job. You need perl for filepp, so you |
| 55 |
> |
need perl to build OOPSE. |
| 56 |
> |
|
| 57 |
> |
4) MPI is optional for the single processor version of OOPSE, |
| 58 |
> |
but is required if you want OOPSE to run in parallel. |
| 59 |
> |
|
| 60 |
> |
We like MPICH-1.2.*. Other implementations might work, but we |
| 61 |
|
haven't tried. You can get MPICH here: |
| 62 |
|
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich/ |
| 46 |
– |
MPI is only required if you want a parallel version of OOPSE. |
| 63 |
|
|
| 48 |

4) Assorted unix utilities (lexx, yacc, make) or their GNU |
| 49 |
– |
equivalents. The Gnu version of make is pretty much a requirement on |
| 50 |
– |
SGI machines. |
