ecfFlow consists of two tar files i.e. :
boost_1_53_0.tar.gz
ecflow_4_0_7.tar.gz
Create a directory for the build:
Code Block
language bash
mkdir /tmp/ecflow_build
Copy the the two tar file into this directory, then change directory to /tmp/ecflow_build

Un-zip then un-tar the two file files:

Code Block

language	bash

gunzip boost_1_53_0.tar.gz
gunzip ecflow_4_0_7.tar.gz
tar -xf boost_1_53_0.tar
tar -xf ecflow_4_0_7.tar

You should have three directories created:
Code Block
boost_1_53_0 ecflow_4_0_7 ecbuild
Create two environment variables. These are used by some of scripts:
Code Block
language bash
export WK=/tmp/ecflow_build/ecflow_4_0_7 export BOOST_ROOT=/tmp/ecflow_build/boost_1_53_0

...

There are two build systems available for ecflow:

It is recommended to try cmake/ecbuild first.

cmake/ecbuild

...

Code Block

language	bash
title	cmake/ecbuild

cd $WK
./configure.sh  mkdir build; cd build;
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/apps/ecflow -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make
make install

To use the ecFlow Python Api , you need to add/change PYTHONPATH .
