Compiling precice on opensuse leap

Installing preCICE
4

Hi,
after some tests, this is the procedure I found to compile preCICE on opensuse, In the end, as @Makis
said, it all boiled down to the right version of MPI and how to source it. 'll recap it here just in case.

general prerequisites

MPI:

install openmpi:
sudo zypper install: openmpi-devel

and add to .bashrc:

export PATH=/usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/bin/:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/lib64/

PETSc:

  • git clone -b release PETSc / petsc · GitLab petsc

  • set environment variables in .bashrc:

    export PETSC_DIR=“/home/claudio/Projects/petsc”
    export PETSC_ARCH=“arch-linux-c-debug”
    ./configure
    make PETSC_DIR=/home/claudio/Projects/petsc PETSC_ARCH=arch-linux-c-debug all
    make PETSC_DIR=/home/claudio/Projects/petsc PETSC_ARCH=arch-linux-c-debug check

EIGEN:

eigen3-devel from YaST

BOOST: (>=1.71.0)

the following are required:

  • boost_log
  • boost_log_setup
  • boost_thread
  • boost_system
  • boost_filesystem
  • boost_program_options
  • boost_unit_test_framework

I followed the command suggested on the precice website:
sudo zypper install libboost_log1_75_0-devel libboost_thread1_75_0-devel libboost_system1_75_0-devel libboost_filesystem1_75_0-devel libboost_program_options1_75_0-devel libboost_test1_75_0-devel

LIBXML2:

libxml2-2 libxml2-devel libxml2-tools from YaST

PYTHON:

python3 python3-devel python3-numpy python3-numpy-devel (from YaST)

1) clone the repo

wget https://github.com/precice/precice/archive/v2.5.0.tar.gz

tar -xzvf v2.5.0.tar.gz

cd precice-2.5.0

2) compile

mkdir build
cd build
cmake …
make -j(n)

3) test

The compilation runs without errors.

All the tests PASS
