GridPACK is relatively easy to build on Ubuntu Linux systems. This example was performed on a Virtual Box instance running a clean install of Ubuntu Linux 16.04 (LTS). If you have no need to modify the GridPACK library itself, consider installing the binary package.

A few basic development packages will be necessary. Install them with

sudo apt-get install git build-essential devscripts equivs

Obtain GridPACK Source

At the time of writing (1/5/2018), these instructions only work with the Github repository code. These instructions will not work with the most recent official release (3.1).

In a convenient location, clone the GridPACK repository

git clone https://github.com/GridOPTICS/GridPACK.git
cd GridPACK
git submodule update --init


Install Required Packages

All the GridPACK prerequisites packages can be installed using the packaging information in the source. Run this command in the top directory of the cloned repository:

sudo mk-build-deps -i

This will make and install a virtual package called gridpack-build-deps with all the dependencies needed to build GridPACK.

Alternatively, all required packages will be installed by installing the GridPACK binary package.

Build and Test GridPACK

Configure and build GridPACK using the recipe for gridpackvm in example_configuration.sh:

mkdir src/build
cd src/build
bash ../example_configuration.sh gridpackvm
make 
make test

Or, modify this configuration recipe to fit your needs:

CC=gcc
CXX=g++
export CC CXX

cmake \
    -D PETSC_DIR:STRING="/usr/lib/petscdir/3.6.2" \
    -D PETSC_ARCH:STRING="x86_64-linux-gnu-real" \
    -D PARMETIS_DIR:PATH="/usr" \
    -D GA_EXTRA_LIBS:STRING="-lscalapack-openmpi -lblacsCinit-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=20 \
    -D USE_GLPK:BOOL=ON \
    -D GLPK_ROOT_DIR:PATH="/usr" \
    -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF \
    -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$HOME/gridpack" \
    -D CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL=TRUE \
    ..

Build and test GridPACK normally:

make
make test

Removing Required Software

If no longer needed, the required packages can be removed using


sudo apt-get purge gridpack-build-deps
sudo apt autoremove
