Configuration options

In order to build AMG4PSBLAS, the first step is to use the configure script in the main directory to generate the necessary makefile.

which assumes that the various MPI compilers and support libraries are available in the standard directories on the system, and specifies only the PSBLAS install directory (note that the latter directory must be specified with an absolute path). The full set of options may be looked at by issuing the command ./configure --help, which produces:

‘configure’ configures AMG4PSBLAS 1.0.0 to adapt to many kinds of systems.

Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE.  See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.

Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.

Configuration:
  -h, --help              display this help and exit
      --help=short        display options specific to this package
      --help=recursive    display the short help of all the included packages
  -V, --version           display version information and exit
  -q, --quiet, --silent   do not print ‘checking ...’ messages
      --cache-file=FILE   cache test results in FILE [disabled]
  -C, --config-cache      alias for ‘--cache-file=config.cache’
  -n, --no-create         do not create output files
      --srcdir=DIR        find the sources in DIR [configure dir or ‘..’]

Installation directories:
  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [/usr/local]
  --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                          [PREFIX]

By default, ‘make install’ will install all the files in
‘/usr/local/bin’, ‘/usr/local/lib’ etc.  You can specify
an installation prefix other than ‘/usr/local’ using ‘--prefix’,
for instance ‘--prefix=$HOME’.

For better control, use the options below.

Fine tuning of the installation directories:
  --bindir=DIR            user executables [EPREFIX/bin]

Some influential environment variables:
  FC          Fortran compiler command
  FCFLAGS     Fortran compiler flags
  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  LIBS        libraries to pass to the linker, e.g. -l<library>
  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
  CPPFLAGS    (Objective) C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if
              you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  MPICC       MPI C compiler command
  MPIFC       MPI Fortran compiler command
  CPP         C preprocessor

Use these variables to override the choices made by ‘configure’ or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.

For instance, if a user has built and installed PSBLAS 3.7 under the /opt directory and is using the SuiteSparse package (which includes UMFPACK), then AMG4PSBLAS might be configured with:

Once the configure script has completed execution, it will have generated the file Make.inc which will then be used by all Makefiles in the directory tree; this file will be copied in the install directory under the name Make.inc.AMG4PSBLAS.

To use the MUMPS solver package, the user has to add the appropriate options to the configure script; by default we are looking for the libraries -ldmumps -lsmumps -lzmumps -lcmumps -mumps_common -lpord. MUMPS often uses additional packages such as ScaLAPACK, ParMETIS, SCOTCH, as well as enabling OpenMP; in such cases it is necessary to add linker options with the --with-extra-libs configure option.
