Build, install, and test

git clone git@github.com:SCOREC/wdmapp_testcases.git #test data
git clone git@github.com:SCOREC/wdmapp_coupling.git

cmake -S wdmapp_coupling -B buildWdmCpl \
-Dredev_ROOT=/path/to/redev/install \
-DOmega_h_ROOT=/path/to/omegah/install \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD/buildWdmCpl/install \
-DPCMS_TEST_DATA_DIR=$PWD/wdmapp_testcases \
-DCatch2_ROOT=/path/to/catch2/install

cmake --build buildWdmCpl --target install

Spack based build

1. Install spack

   $ mkdir /lore/$USER/spack
   $ cd /lore/$USER/spack
   $ git clone -c feature.manyFiles=true -b releases/v0.20 https://github.com/spack/spack.git
   $ . spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh

   We can also add the spack setup line into the ~/.bashrc with `echo ". spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh" >> ~/.bashrc". This will load the spack setup script every time we start our terminal session.

2. Get PCMS spack repo The following commands will add the pcms recipe files to spack. They are not currently installed inthe upstream spack repository.

   $ git clone https://github.com/jacobmerson/pcms-spack.git
   $ spack repo add pcms-spack/pcms

3. Add Spack binary mirror Addding the binary mirrors will avoid some compilation by downloading prebuilt binaries when available.

   $ spack mirror add v0.20.1 https://binaries.spack.io/v0.20.1
   $ spack buildcache keys --install --trust

4. Install PCMS repo

   $ mkdir /lore/$USER/pcms-coupler
   $ cd /lore/$USER/pcms-coupler
   $ git clone -b pcms-spack https://github.com/jacobmerson/pcms
   $ cd pcms/spack
   $ spack env create -d env spack.yaml
   $ cd env
   $ spack env activate .
   $ spack install

At this point hopefully, spack will now install all of the relavant dependencies and a baseline build of PCMS. The default environment has PCMS in develop mode. To modify and recompile PCMS you can modify the code and rerun spack install.

BUILD TODO

• create a spack environment that's part of this project that can build the whole stack. most of the pieces are in place for this, but it will require createing a package for redev and of the SCOREC version of Omega_h
  • scorec version 10.1.0 of Omega_h is in spack@develop https://github.com/spack/spack/blob/8ddaa08ed2aacb4b5e587a33c625492cbdd4886e/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/omega-h/package.py#L21
