Compiling

Possible dependencies

For compiling on Linux-based systems you will need the HDF5 libraries for development:

• OpenMP: sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev
• MPI: sudo apt-get install llibhdf5-openmpi-dev

Further dependencies will be prompted for during compilation, if needed. These seem to be the necessary ones in case of a serial (OpenMP) compilation on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (accurate as of 30.03.2020). Check and adapt setup in config.mk.

Currently these steps are known to work with the HDF5 versions:

• 1.10.0-patch1 (OpenMP)
• 1.10.5 (MPI)

Check your current version in terminal with h5cc -showconfig.

Steps

1. Clone the WinGen to your local machine, go into the new library
2. Necassary make for fftw: make fftw
3. Make for src and test: make
4. Navigate into the hdf5_demo folder: cd hdf5_demo
5. Make the demo: make
6. Test our your compilation with one of the example setup files (hdf5_demo_2d.wfs or hdf5_demo_3d.wfs): ./hdf5_demo hdf5_demo_3d.wfs
7. Once done, visualize the resulting file windgen.h5 in an HDF5-viewer (such as HDFCompass)

Here once again all steps once you are in the local folder WindGen:

make fftw
make
cd hdf5_demo
make
./hdf5_demo hdf5_demo_3d.wfs

Note

You should adapt the config.mk file to fit your necessities and system requirements.

This example seriel setup (Ubuntu18.04 LTS & HDF%1.10.0-patch1) was done using:

WFS_ROOT              := /home/<username>/Repositories/WindGen

ZLIB_ROOT              := /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
SZIP_ROOT              := /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
CFLAGS                 += -I/usr/include/hdf5/serial -DHAVE_HDF5
LDFLAGS                += $(HDF5_ROOT)/hdf5/serial/libhdf5.a
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

LDFLAGS                += -pthread -lsz -lz -ldl -lm
