How to build AeroApps

Preliminary Steps

Load Build Modules

In your .bashrc or .tcshrc or other rc file add a line:

NCCS (SLES12)

module use -a /discover/swdev/gmao_SIteam/modulefiles-SLES12

NAS

module use -a /nobackup/gmao_SIteam/modulefiles

GMAO Desktops

On the GMAO desktops, the SI Team modulefiles should automatically be part of running module avail but if not, they are in:

module use -a /ford1/share/gmao_SIteam/modulefiles

Also do this in any interactive window you have. This allows you to get module files needed to correctly checkout and build the model.

Now load the GEOSenv module:

module load GEOSenv

which obtains the latest git, CMake, etc. modules needed to build.

Obtain the Model

git clone git@github.com:GEOS-ESM/AeroApps.git

Use mepo to checkout the model

cd AeroApps
mepo clone

Build the Model

Load Compiler, MPI Stack, and Baselibs

On tcsh:

source env@/g5_modules

or on bash:

source env@/g5_modules.sh

Create Build Directory

We currently do not allow in-source builds of GEOSgcm. So we must make a directory:

mkdir build

The advantages of this is that you can build both a Debug and Release version with the same clone if desired.

Run CMake

CMake generates the Makefiles needed to build the model.

cd build
cmake .. -DBASEDIR=$BASEDIR/Linux -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=ifort -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install

This will install to a directory parallel to your build directory. If you prefer to install elsewhere change the path in:

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path>

and CMake will install there.

Building with Debugging Flags

To build with debugging flags add:

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

to the cmake line.

Build and Install with Make

make -j6 install
