compile XC on debian stretch

[berndhahnebach]

gave it a try on debian stretch on comit 0597827

Here is what I did: https://gist.github.com/berndhahnebach/7d39889916cb36ea7e6ed6c0d758f9f6

On cmake I run into some trouble ...

$ cd /home/vagrant/Documents/build_xc/build  &&  sudo rm -rf *  &&  sudo cmake ../xc/src

this might be interesting for you already:

other packages than https://github.com/lcpt/xc/blob/master/doc/install_deb_packages.sh#L17

• libsuperlu-dev instead libsuperlu3-dev
• libx11-dev instead libX11-dev
• python-vtk6 instead python-vtk
• python-pip is missing at all

[berndhahnebach]

BTW: I'm not dedicated to Debian ATM. For some first tests of XC I could use ubuntu too. Since it is in a VM created by vagrant it does not matter anyway. Which ubuntu do you compile and run XC on?

Afterwards if XC runs on ubuntu it will be a simple to get it to work on debian too, hopefully

Thank you!

I've fixed that line and pushed changes to GitHub. Luis

About the problem when running cmake, I think you have not installed xc_basic and xc_utils (yeah the installation process is a bit too complex I'll try to simplify it).

I've modified the text on "install.txt" to highlight that:

=====================================================

     * Libraries you must to download from GitHub and install yourself:
         -xc_basic: basic routines (download it from https://github.com/lcpt/xc_basic).
         -xc_util: utilities (download it from https://github.com/lcpt/xc_utils).

=====================================================

If it is not the case, let me know. Luis.

It's Ubuntu 18.04

Ahh, I totally missed that ... Thanks for all the informations. I will continue my afford in compiling XC this evenning and report back.

[berndhahnebach]

got it compiled. Had linker errors. Took me quit some time to find my vagrant box just had no disc space left :-) Another missing package libmetis-dev and some changes in xc_utils and xc (https://github.com/berndhahnebach?tab=repositories). I will go for a PR later this week. Need to sort out everything. BTW: is there some unit test or some other simple example to really be sure it is installed and to get started ... Bernd

Ahh https://gist.github.com/berndhahnebach/7d39889916cb36ea7e6ed6c0d758f9f6

[lcpt]

Great!

You can find the verification tests for xc_utils in xc_utils/verif and those for xc in xc/verif. In both cases there is a readme file that explains what to do (it's quite simple anyway).

problems ... import xc_base does not work ... But on make install of xc_base I got no error. Where should the module be installed ? Somewhere in /usr/local ?

does not import either

upps, I missed the installation of the Python modules ... my fault

Verify that in the '/usr/local/lib' there is a file named 'libxc_utils.so'.

Have you installed the python modules?:

cd /usr/local/src/prgs/xc_utils/python_modules sh local_install.sh

[lcpt]

Ok. If it doesn't work let me know.

[berndhahnebach]

:-) xc_utils and xc tests run fine. I need to update my script in this regard.

How to get started?

bernd

[berndhahnebach]

Just run all Debian installing packages and cloning and compiling XC on a clean debian stretch. The verification tests run too. The repos from lcpt github account without any patches where used :-)
