You're reading an old version of this documentation. For the latest released version, please have a look at v5.0.1.

Build for OSX

Prerequisites

  • CMake (>= 3.12.0)

  • GCC >= 7.0, Clang >= 3.9, or Intel C++ 18.0

  • Optional: Git

Assumed directory structure:

|- CADET
|    - src
|    - include
|    - [...]
|    - build
|    - install

Note that the version numbers of the files and packages below are subject to change and will not always reflect the most recent version.

Also note that you have to use the same compiler for all packages. This is especially important if some of the packages are installed via a package manager such as Homebrew which uses the system compiler (Clang).

Build dependencies

brew update > /dev/null || true
brew install cmake --without-docs
brew install hdf5
brew install tbb
brew install eigen

LAPACK

You can either use the native LAPACK implementation provided by Mac OS X (vecLib, Accelerate) or install the freely available Intel MKL which is very fast and probably faster than Accelerate.

Build CADET

  • Clone the CADET source code git clone https://github.com/cadet/cadet-core.git CADET

  • Create the directories CADET/build and CADET/install

  • If using Intel MKL, execute export MKLROOT=/opt/intel/mkl

  • Using standard LAPACK: Execute cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<ROOT>/install" ../

    Using MKL (sequential): Execute cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<ROOT>/install" -DBLA_VENDOR=Intel10_64lp_seq ../

    Using MKL (parallel): Execute cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<ROOT>/install" -DBLA_VENDOR=Intel10_64lp ../

  • Execute make

  • Execute make install
