• Boost uses bjam for building the boost libs.

  bjam source is available in boost, hence we first need to build bjam itself:

   

  Code Block
  language bash
  cd $BOOST_ROOT ./bootstrap.sh

   

  Now make sure bjam is accessible from $PATH

• Ecflow uses some of compiled libraries in boost. The following script will build the required lib’s, in both debug and release forms and will configure boost build according to your platform.

   

  Code Block
  language bash
  cd $BOOST_ROOT $WK/build/boost_1_53_fix.sh # fix for boost, only for some platforms $WK/build/boost_build.sh # compile boost libs used by ecFlow

...

It is recommended to try cmake/ecbuild first.

cmake

As configure, CMake  will run some tests on the customer's system to find out if required third-party software libraries are available and notes their locations (paths). Based on this information it will produces the Makefiles needed to compile and install Magics.

CMake is a cross-platform free software program for managing the build process of software using a compiler-independent method.

cd $WK
mkdir build; cd build;

# Specify the directory where you want ecflow installed, we have used '/usr/local/apps/ecflow' as an example
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/apps/ecflow -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

# If you do not want build the GUI, use:
# cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/apps/ecflow -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_GUI=OFF

# If you do not need the python api, use:
# cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/apps/ecflow -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_PYTHON=OFF

make
make install
