Building with make for LaGriT V3.32 and pre-2019 and older

LaGriT installation is intended to be as straightforward as possible for Linux and macOS systems. If you encounter any problems with the build process, submit a ticket on the Issues page. The files in this directory used the make system to build on linux, mac, and WINDOWS.

New build instructions apply to V3.33 with cmake

Newer codes use C++ to Fortran wrappers that are easier to build with cmake. Building with Exodus is also made easier with cmake. See https://github.com/lanl/LaGriT/README.md

Old instructions for Building LaGriT V3.32 and pre-2019 codes.

If you are on Windows, see Section 4.0 on this page for more information.

1. Automatic Build (Linux, macOS)

1.1. Pre-requisites

  • GCC / G++ / GFORTRAN 8.0.0+
  • CMake 3.10+
  • Git
  • Bash
  • wget
  • Python 3

Linux users will also require the following:

On Ubuntu, run

sudo apt-get -y install gfortran libz-dev m4 bison

to install all non-stock pre-requisites.

On macOS, if you use Homebrew, run

brew update && brew install gcc wget cmake python

or, if you use MacPorts,

sudo port selfupdate && sudo port install cmake gcc wget python

to install all non-stock pre-requisites.

1.2. Cloning LaGriT

Download the repo by running:

git clone https://github.com/lanl/LaGriT.git
cd LaGriT

1.3. Building Exodus

If you don't already have Exodus built on your system, run

make exodus

Note that Exodus is optional, though recommended for full functionality.

1.4. Compiling LaGriT

Finally, to build and test a shared, optimized LaGriT binary, run

make release
make test

To build LaGriT without Exodus,

make WITH_EXODUS=0 release

More options are available by running make help.

1.5. Testing LaGriT

Run the command

make test

to validate the LaGriT compilation. Note that if you compiled without Exodus, one test should fail (write_exo).

The test suite requires Python 3 or above.

1.6. Troubleshooting

dumpexodusII.f:130: Error: Can't open included file 'exodusII.inc'
make[1]: *** [objects/dumpexodusII.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/path/to/LaGriT/src'
make: *** [before] Error 2
The command "make release" exited with 2.

Problem:

  • GFORTRAN cannot find Exodus include files.

Solution:

  • This problem typically results from a failed Exodus compilation.
  • Follow the traceback from make exodus to see where in the process it failed.
    • Usually this is because one or more pre-requisites were not found on your system. See Section 1.1 for more information.
  • Alternately, run make WITH_EXODUS=0 release to circumvent the Exodus dependency.

2. Makefile Usage

2.1. Usage

make [options] [target]

2.2. Targets

  • make release

    • Optimized build (with shared libraries)

  • make static

    • Optimized build (with static libraries)

  • make DEBUG=1 release

    • Debug build (with shared libraries)

  • make DEBUG=1 static

    • Debug build (with static libraries)

  • make exodus

    • Download and build the Sandia ExodusII Fortran library. By default, it will download to the current working directory. This can be changed by running

      • make EXO_BUILD_DIR=/exodus/path/out/ exodus

  • make test

    • Run the LaGriT test suite on the created binary. If you have changed or moved LaGriT from src/lagrit, use the option EXE_NAME=/path/to/lagrit

2.3. Options

  • CC (default: gcc) : C source compiler
  • FC (default: gfortran) : Fortran source compiler
  • FC90 (default: gfortran) : Fortran90 source compiler
  • WITH_EXODUS (default: 1) : Build with or without Exodus
  • DEBUG (default: 0) : Built in debug (1) or optimized (0) mode
  • EXO_LIB_DIR (default: LAGRIT_ROOT_DIR/seacas/lib) : ExodusII library location
  • EXE_NAME (default: src/lagrit) : binary filename for LaGriT

3. Manual Build

If you are experiencing issues with the standard compilation procedure, you may need to do a manual install.

3.1. Exodus Compilation

See Section 1.3 in this document to build Exodus automatically.

To manually build Exodus, read the SEACAS Documentation for the most up-to-date instructions.

For most architectures, this should be as simple as:

$ export CGNS=NO
$ export MATIO=NO
$ export SHARED=NO
$ export NEEDS_ZLIB=YES
$ git clone https://github.com/gsjaardema/seacas.git $(EXO_BUILD_DIR)/seacas
$ cd $(EXO_BUILD_DIR)/seacas
$ ./install-tpl.sh
$ cd TPL
$ ../cmake-config -DFORTRAN=YES
$ make && make install

If the build was unsuccessful, a non-zero exit code will be thrown along with this error:

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

3.2. Building the LaGriT lg_util library

If this is your first time installing LaGriT, you will need to navigate to LaGriT/lg_util/src and build lg_util. To do this, you may either follow the directions in README for advanced operations, or simply run

$ make clean
$ make lib

You may pass options to this Makefile, such as:

  • CC (default: gcc)
  • FC (default: gfortran)
  • BIT_SIZE (default: output of $(shell getconf LONG_BIT))
  • DEBUG (default: 0)

Since this library is stable and generally not updated with most releases, it is usually not necessary to recompile with each pull. The lib target compiles every source file into an object file and combines them into a library using ar rcu [targets].

3.3. Building the LaGriT src/ library

Navigate to src/ and run

$ make clean
$ gfortran  -O  -fcray-pointer -fdefault-integer-8 -m64 -Dlinx64 -c -o lagrit_main.o lagrit_main.f
$ gfortran  -O  -fcray-pointer -fdefault-integer-8 -m64 -Dlinx64 -c -o lagrit_fdate.o lagrit_fdate.f
$ make lib

The lib target compiles every source file into an object file and combines them into a library using ar rcu [targets]. Note that dumpexodusII.f must be compiled with the -cpp flag, due to #ifdef statements. Further, tempgable.f must be compiled with the flag -std=legacy. These flags may be different on compilers other than GNU gfortran.

To build without Exodus, in lieu of make lib, run

$ make WITH_EXODUS=0 lib

Critically, this flag set to 0 does two things:

  1. Compiles dumpexodusII.f with flags: -cpp -DNOEXODUS
  2. Does not compile any source files matching the glob exo_*.c

3.4. Building LaGriT

Within the src/ directory, link the generated libraries using the command:

$ gfortran -O -Dlinx64 -fcray-pointer -fdefault-integer-8 -fno-sign-zero -o lagrit lagrit_main.o lagrit_fdate.o lg_main_lib.a ../lg_util/src/lg_util_lib.a -L$ACCESS -lexodus_for -lexodus -lnetcdf -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5 -lz -lm -lstdc++ -ldl

Note that ACCESS is a shell variable pointing to $(EXODUS_DIRECTORY)/lib.

If Exodus has not been built, several flags become unneccessary:

$ gfortran -O -Dlinx64 -fcray-pointer -fdefault-integer-8 -fno-sign-zero -o lagrit lagrit_main.o lagrit_fdate.o lg_main_lib.a ../lg_util/src/lg_util_lib.a -lm -lstdc++

Note that some flags are architecture-dependant. For example, -Dlinx64 is a Linux-unique command that translates to -Dmacx64 on macOS systems.

3.5. Running LaGriT

From inside LaGriT/src/, run

$ ./lagrit

to start the program.

A comprehensive test suite can be found in LaGriT/test. Run the command

python suite.py -f -l 1 -exe=path/to/lagrit

to validate the build.

4. Windows Build

Currently, Windows support is limited and will require a manual install. See here for build instructions. Windows support is under active development. Read this issue for current development status.
