Quick configure, build and install hints for Trilinos

Author: Brent Perschbacher
Contact: bmpersc@sandia.gov

This document is intended to be a very concise set of examples of how to configure, build and install Trilinos. The intended audience is those who need a quick refresher on Trilinos CMake build system or those wanting a quick install without worrying about all the features and options that are available. For a more indepth document on what features and options are available and how to use them, see the document:

https://trilinos.org/docs/files/TrilinosBuildReference.html

Contents

1   Requirements

  • CMake 2.8.11 or newer
  • A C and C++ compiler
  • Optionally a Fortran compiler
  • Optionally an installation of MPI

2   Instructions

Following are a few examples of simple configurations for Trilinos. Anything in <> should be replaced with the appropriate path or value and excluding the <>.

It is recommended that you put your configure options in a script (e..g do-configure) so you can repeat the configure if necessary.

Note: all examples assume a unix like command line and Makefile Generators.

2.1   Simple MPI instructions (enables most packages)

cmake \
-DTPL_ENABLE_MPI=ON \
-DMPI_BASE_DIR=<path to mpi install> \
-DTrilinos_ENABLE_ALL_PACKAGES=ON \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path to install Trilinos into> \
<path to Trilinos source>

make -j<n> install

NOTE: Enabling all packages will trigger the enable of several third-party libraries (TPLs). If CMake can't find these TPLs on your system, then you will need to either point to them or disable them as specified in the CMake output.

2.2   Simple serial instructions (enables most packages)

cmake \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=<path to C compiler> \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=<path to C++ compiler> \
-DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=<path to Fortran compiler> \
-DTrilinos_ENABLE_ALL_PACKAGES=ON \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PATH=<path to install Trilinos into> \
<path to Trilinos source>

make -j<n> install

2.3   Intermediate MPI instructions (enables a few packages)

cmake \
-DTPL_ENABLE_MPI=ON \
-DMPI_BASE_DIR=<path to mpi install> \
-DTrilinos_ENABLE_Epetra=ON \
-DTrilinos_ENABLE_AztecOO=ON \
-DTrilinos_ENABLE_Ifpack=ON \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PATH=<path to install Trilinos into> \
<path to Trilinos source>

make -j<n> install

2.4   Intermediate MPI instructions (enables a few packages)

cmake \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=<path to C compiler> \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=<path to C++ compiler> \
-DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=<path to Fortran compiler> \
-DTrilinos_ENABLE_Epetra=ON \
-DTrilinos_ENABLE_AztecOO=ON \
-DTrilinos_ENABLE_Ifpack=ON \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PATH=<path to install Trilinos into> \
<path to Trilinos source>

make -j<n> install

3   Useful Options

To turn on explicit template instantiation (can massively reduce build times) use:

-DTrilinos_ENABLE_EXPLICIT_INSTANTIATION=ON

To use shared libraries (much smaller executables and faster linking) use:

-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON

To enable support for the float scalar type use:

-DTrilinos_ENABLE_FLOAT=ON

To enable support for std::complex<T> scalar types use:

-DTrilinos_ENABLE_COMPLEX=ON

To disable Fortran use the following:

-DTrilinos_ENABLE_Fortran=OFF

To enable a package:

-DTrilinos_ENABLE_<package name>=ON

To enable tests:

-DTrilinos_ENABLE_TESTS=ON
