Generating executables

Some examples of codes (both parallel and sequential) can be found in codes. It is better to use also Cmake to compile codes.

• Create a repository $MY_PROG
• Create a repository $MY_PROG/src
• Put the various source files myprog1.cpp, myprog2.cpp etc in $MY_PROG/src. Currently each *cpp file should have its own and independent main function.
• Copy the template file tutorial/CmakeLists.txt to your repository $MY_PROG
• Edit CmakeLists.txt:
  • Replace “myproject” by your project name
  • Replace “myprog*” by the name(s) of your program(s).
• Invoke "cmake (options) ." (the CMakeList.txt is in the current repository).
  Compared to the options used for compiling the library, there are two more that you MUST pass :
  • -DKADATH_SOURCES_DIRECTORY
    Path to the Kadath repository
  • -DKADATH_BUILD_DIRECTORY
    Path to the Kadath build repository
• Example of line command :
  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DPAR_VERSION=OFF -DKADATH_SOURCES_DIRECTORY=~/Kadath/ -DKADATH_BUILD_DIRECTORY=~/Kadath/build-seq-release .
• Then make to compile all the programs. They can also be compiled independently using make myprog* . This is the only step that needs to be done if you change the content of the source files.
• Your executable(s) should be in $MY_PROG/bin
