You're reading an old version of this documentation. For the latest released version, please have a look at v5.1.0.

Build for MS Windows

Prerequisites

  • CMake (>= 3.12.0)

  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 (Community Edition, or better)

  • Optional: MATLAB R2009a or greater

  • Optional: Git

  • Optional: Intel MKL

  • Optional: TBB

Assumed directory structure:

<ROOT>
   |-Libs
   |   |- sundials
   |   |- hdf5
   |   |- lapack
   |   |- suitesparse
   |   |- tbb
   |-code
   |-cadet
   |-build

Note that the version numbers of the files and packages below are subject to change and will not always reflect the most recent version. In the following, we will use Visual Studio 2019 and CMake 3.17.0. We also assume that Intel MKL is installed.

Build dependencies

HDF5

  • Make sure that no HDF5 libraries are installed (remove already existing HDF5 installations)

  • Download CMake-enabled source from https://www.hdfgroup.org/downloads/hdf5/source-code/

  • Unzip and make sure that the directory path does not contain blank spaces

  • Open VS2019x64 Command Prompt and change to the unzipped directory

  • Execute ctest -S HDF5config.cmake,BUILD_GENERATOR=VS201964,INSTALLDIR="<ROOT>\Libs\hdf5" -C Release -V

  • Extract the created HDF5-1.12.0-win64.zip file to <ROOT>/Libs/hdf5 such that you have <ROOT>/Libs/hdf5/lib

SUNDIALS

  • Download SUNDIALS source from http://computation.llnl.gov/projects/sundials/sundials-software (version <= 3.2.1)

  • Unzip

  • Open VS2019x64 Command Prompt and change to the parent directory of the unzipped directory

  • Create a new folder sundialsbuild and change to it

  • Execute cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<ROOT>\Libs\sundials" -DEXAMPLES_ENABLE=OFF -DOPENMP_ENABLE=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="/GL" -DCMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS="/LTCG" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..\sundials-3.2.1\

  • Execute msbuild.exe INSTALL.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64

LAPACK

In the following, CLAPACK is built and used. You can also install the freely available Intel MKL which is very fast and certainly much faster than CLAPACK. If MKL is used, skip this step.

  • Download clapack-3.2.1-CMAKE.tgz from https://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-for-windows/clapack/index.html#build and unzip

  • Open VS2019x64 Command Prompt and change to the parent directory of the unzipped directory

  • Create a new folder clapackbuild and change to it

  • Execute cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<ROOT>\Libs\clapack" -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="/GL" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="/GL" -DCMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS="/LTCG" ..\clapack-3.2.1-

  • Execute msbuild.exe CLAPACK.sln /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64

  • Execute msbuild.exe INSTALL.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64

  • Rename <ROOT>\Libs\clapack\lib\libf2c.lib to <ROOT>\Libs\clapack\lib\f2c.lib

TBB

SuiteSparse

  • Download SuiteSparse source from http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/davis/suitesparse.html

  • Download CMake build system source from https://github.com/jlblancoc/suitesparse-metis-for-windows

  • Unzip both into the same directory such that there are <DIR>\SuiteSparse-5.7.1 and <DIR>\suitesparse-metis-for-windows-master

  • Open VS2019x64 Command Prompt and change to the directory <DIR> that contains both unzipped directories

  • Copy all SuiteSparse source files from <DIR>\SuiteSparse-5.7.1 to <DIR>\suitesparse-metis-for-windows-master\SuiteSparse via xcopy .\SuiteSparse-5.7.1 .\suitesparse-metis-for-windows-master\SuiteSparse /s /e /y

  • Delete the directory <DIR>\suitesparse-metis-for-windows-master\lapack_windows

  • Create a new folder suitesparsebuild and change to it

  • If using MKL, execute set MKLROOT=C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2020.0.166\windows\mkl

  • Using CLAPACK: Execute cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<ROOT>\Libs\suitesparse" -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH="<ROOT>\Libs\clapack\lib" -DBLA_STATIC=ON -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="/GL" -DCMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS="/LTCG" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_METIS=OFF ..\suitesparse-metis-for-windows-master\

    Using MKL (sequential): Execute cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<ROOT>\Libs\suitesparse" -DBLA_VENDOR=Intel10_64lp_seq -DBLA_STATIC=ON -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="/GL" -DCMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS="/LTCG" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_METIS=OFF ..\suitesparse-metis-for-windows-master\

  • Execute msbuild.exe INSTALL.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64

Build CADET

  • Download release of CADET or checkout from git

  • Place the source in <ROOT>\code and create the directory <ROOT>\build

  • Open VS2019x64 Command Prompt and change to <ROOT>\build

  • Execute set SUNDIALS_ROOT=<ROOT>\Libs\sundials

  • Execute set UMFPACK_ROOT=<ROOT>\Libs\suitesparse

  • Execute set TBB_ROOT=<ROOT>\Libs\tbb

  • Execute set HDF5_ROOT=<ROOT>\Libs\hdf5

  • If using MKL, execute set MKLROOT=C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2020.0.166\windows\mkl

  • Using CLAPACK: Execute cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<ROOT>\cadet" -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH="<ROOT>\Libs\clapack\lib" -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DBLA_VENDOR=CLAPACK -DENABLE_STATIC_LINK_LAPACK=ON ..\code\

    Using MKL (sequential): Execute cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<ROOT>\cadet" -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DBLA_VENDOR=Intel10_64lp_seq -DENABLE_STATIC_LINK_LAPACK=ON ..\code\

    Using MKL (parallel): Execute cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<ROOT>\cadet" -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DBLA_VENDOR=Intel10_64lp -DENABLE_STATIC_LINK_LAPACK=ON ..\code\

  • Execute msbuild.exe INSTALL.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64

  • If CADET does not start (i.e., cadet-cli does not run), try copying <ROOT>\Libs\tbb\bin\intel64\vc14\tbb_preview.dll to the directory that contains cadet-cli (i.e., <ROOT>\cadet\bin\)

  • If the MATLAB interface does not work, try copying <ROOT>\Libs\tbb\bin\intel64\vc14\tbb_preview.dll to the directory that contains CadetMex.mexw64 (i.e., <ROOT>\cadet\matlab\bin\)
