h1. Building 

 Quick guide for users on 100% compatible systems 

 We assume that you have successfully downloaded and unpacked the package, possibly including 3rd-party packages in sphinx/sxaccelerate/3rd-party/packages/ . 

 Please make sure that CPU throttling is deactivated when compiling (specifically: ATLAS!). 

 <pre> 
    cd sphinx 
    ./setup 
    ./configure --disable-debug 
    make all 
    make install 
 </pre> 


 If this does not work, please read the rest of this page. 

 You may want to run the [[testbed]] after compilation.  

 h2. Prerequisites 

     * C++ compiler 
     * automake 
     * libtool 
     * flex, bison 
     * Additional libraries (see also 3rd-party packages) 
     ** BLAS+LAPACK library 
     *** ATLAS+LAPACK or 
     *** mkl or 
     *** acml or 
     *** libGOTO or 
     *** ESSL  
     ** FFT library 
     *** FFTW (recommended) 
     *** ACML (we encountered many bugs...)  
     ** netCDF

 Building 

 Depending on the scope of your work with S/PHI/nX please choose the best fitting building approach: 
 | | Users | Testers | Developers | 
 | build S/PHI/nX release |once | once | frequently | 
 | build S/PHI/nX debug | | once | frequently| 
 | build SxAccelerate | | | once - frequently | 
 | build numlibs | | | once - rarely | 

    * On machines with N CPUs: you may use parallel make via make -j 2N  

 h2. configure options (selection) 

 | --disable-atlas    --disable-lapack    --enable-mkl    --with-mklpath=... | use MKL for BLAS/LAPACK (support for selected versions) |  	
 | --disable-atlas    --disable-lapack    --enable-acml | use ACML for BLAS/LAPACK | 
 | --enable-mpi | compile MPI version (experimental) | 
 | --enable-openmp | compile using openmp, try to use openmp numerical libraries (experimental) | 
 | --with-numlibs=... | all external numerical libraries can be found in these paths (/path/1/:/path/2/:/path/3/) | 
 | --without-numlibs | external numerical libraries can be found in standard paths or via specified LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS | 
 | CXX=... | set C++ compiler | 
 | CXXFLAGS=... | set additional C++ compiler flags | 
 | LDFLAGS=... | set additional linker flags (see compiler/linker docu) | 
 |CPPFLAGS=... | set additional preparser flags (see compiler docu) | 
 |CPPFLAGS='-I...' | set additional search path for external includes    |
