This document describes how to build CoMISo on Windows: 1) checkout CoMISo from svn (e.g. with freeware TortoiseSVN): -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.openflipper.org/svnrepo/CoMISo/trunk/CoMISo 2) Install cmake: ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html (I used Version 2.8.11.1) -start cmake-gui -specify build system, e.g. Microsoft Visual Studio 12 -specify source location, e.g. C:/projects/CoMISo -specify a build location (outside the source directories!), e.g. C:/projects/CoMISo_build -press configure button 3) Install GMM++: ------------------------------------------------------------------ just download and extract... http://download.gna.org/getfem/stable/gmm-4.2.tar.gz and adjust paths in cmake-gui 4) Install Eigen3: ------------------------------------------------------------------ just download and extract... http://bitbucket.org/eigen/eigen/get/3.1.3.zip and adjust paths in cmake-gui 5) Install Blas: ------------------------------------------------------------------ you can use any blas implementation available here I describe the preparation of OpenBlas download OpenBlas: http://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/zipball/v0.2.6 follow the install instructions of OpenBlas(see below): Quick guide to build library for Windows 64bit. 1. What you need a. Windows Server 2003 or later b. Cygwin environment(make, gcc, g77, perl, sed, wget) c. MinGW64 compiler d. Microsoft Visual Studio (lib.exe and mspdb80.dll are required to create dll) 2. Do ./quickbuild.win64 3. make PREFIX=/path/to/your/installation install 4. adjust BLAS_LIBRARIES path in cmake-gui to previously generated lib 6) In cmake-gui press configure and generate ------------------------------------------------------------------ this creates the file "CoMISo.sln" inside the build folder, which can be opened with Microsoft Visual Studio - many dependencies are optional and only required if some of the advanced classes are used. Which packages were found in your configuration and are available during runtime is stated in CoMISo\Config\config.hh 7) Test compiled example programs ----------------------------------- run e.g. .\Build\factored_solver.exe (from console to see output)
