• 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

• For python3

  Code Block
  ./bootstrap.sh --with-python=/path/to/python3

  You may need to update $BOOST_ROOT/project-config.jam, with path to executable and path to include files. Note: remember to preserve the spaces, as they are significant. i.e.

  Code Block
  # using python # : # version # : # cmd-or-prefix # : # includes # : # libraries # : # condition # ; using python : 3.5 : python3 : /usr/local/apps/python3/3.5.1-01/include/python3.5m ;

• 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
• IF you do not require the ecflow python api, you can avoid building boost python libs by setting.

 export ECF_NO_PYTHON=1

cd $BOOST_ROOT
$WK/build_scripts/boost_1_53_fix.sh    # fix for boost, only for some platforms
$WK/build_scripts/boost_build.sh       # compile boost libs used by ecFlow

...

cd $WK
mkdir build; cd build;

# Go with defaults, this should build with CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake .. 

# build release with debug info  
# cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo

# Override install prefix, build the most optimised executables 
# cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/apps/ecflow -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  

# do not build the gui.
# 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 .. -DENABLE_PYTHON=OFF

# Use -j option to speed up compilation. Determine number of cpu's
CPUS=$(lscpu -p | grep -v '#' | wc -l)
make -j${CPUS}
make check
make install

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