With some very good help from Johannes, I have added a couple of new platform files:
precise-hpc.platform (Ubuntu 12.04) quantal-hpc.platform (Ubuntu 12.10) These should work out of the box and provide an environment that builds almost all dependencies of DOLFIN instead of relying on Debian packages. Be sure to read the instructions displayed when invoking any of these packages. Comments and testing welcome. These platform files can be used for the following two scenarios: 1. Building the entire FEniCS stack including DOLFIN. To build and run applications against the installation, the only thing you should need to do is source $prefix/etc/fenics.conf 2. Building the entire FEniCS stack excluding DOLFIN and then building DOLFIN manually using cmake.local against that installation: (i) Uncomment dolfin in the platform file and build with Dorsal (ii) source fenics.conf (iii) Go to DOLFIN directory and ./cmake.local To build applications against the installation, source fenics.conf and source dolfin.conf. The location of fenics.conf and dolfin.conf is up for discussion. Should we move it back to $prefix/share/dolfin/? What about fenics.conf? $prefix/share/fenics/? -- Anders _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dolfin Post to : dolfin@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dolfin More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
