MISO is a C++ library for multi-physics finite-element simulations based on LLNL's MFEM.
CMake is used to configure and build. An example config file located in the build/ directory looks like:
cmake .. \
-DADEPT_DIR="/path/to/adept/installation/" \
-DMFEM_DIR="/path/to/mfem/installation/" \
-DPUMI_DIR="/path/to/pumi/installation/" \ # if MFEM built with PUMISource this config file from the build directory to let CMake configure the build. If MFEM was built with MPI, CMake will find the MPI compilers on your system. If MFEM was built with PUMI, the PUMI_DIR must be specified. You can use a front-end like ccmake to see a full list of options.
To configure the library to build in release mode (with optimizations turned on and warnings silenced) add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release to the config file. To build in debug mode (no optimizations, debug symbols, and warnings enabled) add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug instead.
Once configured, execute make from the build directory to build MISO. As usual, you can also use the -j argument to build in parallel.
If using a build system other than GNU make, you can let CMake pick the computer's default build system with a command like cmake --build . -j 4 --target install. This tells CMake to build the project in the . (build) directory, in parallel using 4 processes, with the install target.
The test/ subdirectory has unit and regression tests. These are not included in the default make target, but can be built and run by executing make tests.
To run the tests with verbose output, use ctest directly. From the build directory, run ctest --verbose instead of make tests to see the output from all of the individual test cases.
TODO: make make tests an alias to ctest --verbose to always see verbose output?
To install MISO in a specific location, add -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/path/to/miso/install" to the configuration file. If not specified, the install directory will be the root directory, and the library will be installed to lib/, and the header files will be copied to include/. Use make install to install the library.
TODO: Install pkg-config files so it is easier to use MISO in other CMake projects.
Use the build target doc to build the doxygen documentaion for MISO.
TODO: make building the documentaion work
Use the build target sandbox to build the sandbox. The executables are built in the /build/sandbox directory, and the options files are copied over.
