3 ************************************************
5 The main source of information on how to compile SimGrid is the project
6 documentation available in doc/install.html or online on our website
7 http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/ . This INSTALL file contains mainly generic
8 information on how to compile SimGrid or any project using cmake.
13 In short, the way to compile SimGrid depends on whether you are compiling a
14 tar.gz archive or directly from the Git.
16 (1) configure SimGrid (both in Git and archives)
17 $ cmake <all options> ./
20 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path>: specify where to install SimGrid
21 -Denable_maintainer_mode=on/off: get the maintainer files regenerated
23 -Denable_compile_optimizations=on/off: compile or not with optimizations
24 -Denable_java=on/off: enable or not the Java bindings
25 -Denable_scala=on/off: enable or not the Scala bindings
26 -Denable_lua=on/off: enable or not the lua bindings
27 -Denable_smpi=on/off: enable or not smpi
28 -Denable_model-checking=on/off: enable or not the model-checker
29 See below for other configure options which are common to any project,
30 not only SimGrid related.
35 (3) Test it (optional)
45 SimGrid archives do not have any firm dependencies.
47 If you want to compile, you must have installed perl and cmake version 2.6 or
50 If you want to compile the java bindings, you have to have a java compiler, and
51 the jni.h header file (available from the JDK).
53 If you want to compile the lua bindings, you have to have lua5.1 executable and
56 If you want to compile smpi, you should install a fortran compiler to use
57 Fortran code. Only gfortran has been tested for now.
59 If you want to compile the GTNetS backend, you have to have a patched version of
60 GTNetS installed. The patch lives in the contrib section of the Git.
