Building GridPACK is relatively straightforward on | Debian 9 (stretch) systems. At the time of writing, | Debian 9 was the current stable distribution. There is no need to build any prerequisite software. All can be installed from Debian package repositories.

System Preparation

Starting with a clean, minimal installation, add contrib and non-free components of the Debian distribution need to apt sources (ParMETIS is in non-free). Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and make the main repository line look like this:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free

and then refresh the system package lists with

sudo apt-get update

Prerequisite Installation

General

Install a C++ compiler, CMake, and Git:

sudo apt-get install git cmake g++

Boost

Install necessary Boost libraries:

sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-mpi-dev \
   libboost-random-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-system-dev

This will also install the default MPI implementation (OpenMPI), including compiler wrappers.

PETSc

Install the real-valued version of PETSc with

sudo apt-get install petsc-dev

or the complex-valued version with

sudo apt-get install libpetsc3.7.5-dev

Global Arrays

Global Arrays has lots of dependencies. Unfortunately, installing the Debian GA package (version 5.4~beta~r10636+dfsg-5) does not enforce any of them. Installing PETSc first will install most of them. This should complete the GA installation:

sudo apt-get install libglobalarrays-dev libarmci-mpi-dev

ParMETIS

Install ParMETIS using

sudo apt-get install libparmetis-dev libmetis-dev

GNU Linear Programming Kit

GLPK is optional and can be installed with

sudo apt-get install libglpk-dev

GridPACK Configuration and Build

Configure GridPACK as follows

CC=gcc
CXX=g++
CFLAGS=-pthread
CXXFLAGS=-pthread
export CC CXX CFLAGS CXXFLAGS

cmake $options \
    -D PETSC_DIR:STRING="/usr/lib/petsc" \
    -D PARMETIS_DIR:PATH="/usr" \
    -D GA_EXTRA_LIBS:STRING="-lscalapack-openmpi -lblacs-openmpi -llapack -lblas -lgfortran" \
    -D MPI_CXX_COMPILER:STRING="mpicxx" \
    -D MPI_C_COMPILER:STRING="mpicc" \
    -D MPIEXEC:STRING="mpiexec" \
    -D MPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS:STRING="2" \
    -D GRIDPACK_TEST_TIMEOUT:STRING=30 \
    -D USE_GLPK:BOOL=ON \
    -D GLPK_ROOT_DIR:PATH="/usr" \
    -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release \
    -D CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL=TRUE \
    ..

Then, build and test

make
make test
