Building a portable C++ library is not an easy task. We try to build it with many
combinations of OS and compilers. The last stable version has been tested on the following
configurations:
- Linux with g++ (versions 4.8 to 7.1)
- MacOS X (with the python and Matlab interfaces)
- Windows with MinGW and
MSys
(GetFEM++ only -- see specific notes for the matlab interface)
Install GetFEM++ 5.1 on different plateforms
Installation from sources
Since standard GNU tools are used, the installation of the GetFEM++ library is somewhat standard. From a general viewpoint, the installation from sources will require the following ingredients for any platform:
- A decently recent C/C++ compiler accepting C++ 11 standard
(gcc/g++ >= 4.8 for instance).
- If you want to build binaries from git to get the latest changes,
improvements, bugfixes, new bugs, etc. It requires a git client,
automake, and libtool (otherwise, use the lastest stable package).
- By default, the Python Getfem interface is built. It requires the python
development files (Python.h etc.) to be available (package
``python-all-dev`` in debian distribution), and also the Numpy and Scipy
packages to be installed (package ``python-numpy`` and ``python-scipy``
in debian distribution). In case of troubles with a non-gnu compiler,
gcc/g++ (>= 4.8) should be a safe solution (package ``build-essential``
in debian distribution). If you do not want to build the python interface,
use the configure option `./configure --disable-python`
- If you want to build the Matlab interface, it requires a recent Matlab
version installed on your system and the associated mex compiler
correctly configured.
- If you want to build the Scilab interface, it requires a recent Scilab
version installed on your system.
- If you want mesh generation and fictitious domain facilities
(such as Xfem),
it requires the package qhull installed on your system
(package ``libqhull-dev`` in debian distribution).
- If you want to use MUMPS linear sparse solver instead of SUPERLU, you
need to install the sequential version of MUMPS on your system
(or the parallel one if you intend to use the parallel version of GetFEM++).
Depending on the plateform, find some specific help here for the installation on
Linux,
MacOS X, or
Windows.
Installation from pre-compiled packages
On a Debian/Ubuntu system
GetFEM++ packages are available in the official repositories of Debian
and Ubuntu distributions.
Information about the GetFEM++ versions available in different Debian
releases can be found e.g. at
