vvtools

Building the V&V tools

1. Clone the scidev repo:

% cd $HOME
% git clone [email protected]:rrdrake/scidev.git

1. Create a build directory (your tests will point to this location to run the tools). For example:

mkdir vvtools
cd vvtools

1. Set the environment variables required by the build script:

• Point to the scidev/tools source, e.g.:

  % export SRC_DIR=$HOME/scidev/tools
  

• The script requires two path variables: NETCDF_ROOT and PYTHON_INCLUDE.
  Both are available through SEMS - this is a suggested module set and variable definition:

  % module load sems-env
  % module load sems-gcc/6.1.0
  % module load sems-netcdf/4.4.1/exo
  % module load sems-python/2.7.9
  % export NETCDF_ROOT=$(dirname $SEMS_NETCDF_INCLUDE_PATH)
  % export PYTHON_INCLUDE=$SEMS_PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH/python2.7
  

1. Run the build script:

% $SRC_DIR/make_tools.sh

This will put all the tools and their dependencies into the build directory.

1. Update your PATH variable(s) to conveniently point to the tools:

% export PATH=$HOME/vvtools:$PATH

Note that the path to vvtest will need to be added separately.
