This page shows how Carat++ can be compiled under a Windows environment.
- Windows 10 64bit
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2015
- TODO git/svn
- CMake XXX
- Boost 1.63.0
- MKL (Intel mkl 2017)

Windows Version
In this installation guide Windows 10 64bit is used.
Carat++ installation was tested also under the following Windows versions:
- TODO please add more if you tested it there
IDE
The IDE of choice is Micrsoft Visual Studio 2015 and the related
Git
Git is used as version control system. It is needed to download the Carat++ source code.
TODO
Get the source code
TODO
Create directory for build and libraries
TODO
CMake
Install the latest CMake version
Boost
Get the latest boost library from https://boost.org. Download and unpack it. Copy the unpacked folder with the version number into the "carat/libs" directory.
In order to use the Boost logging, it needs to be compiled:
- Open the Windwos command prompt.
- Navigate to the "carat/libs/boost_X_XX directory.
- Compile boost with the following lines in the command prompt.
Now add the following path to the compiled boost libraries to your environmental variable "PATH":
MKL
Intel MKL is a equation solving library, that is strongly recommended to use.
This guide shows a simple Installation without any administrator rights. (Advanced: To use all the features of the intel suite please refer to http://129.187.141.105/trac/wiki/IntelSuite12.1)
- Copy the "license.lic" from smb://dc01/f_users/TEMP/software/intel_suite into ~/software/intel/ into into e.g. ~/software/intel/.
- Copy the Intel Composer package "l_ccompxe_2013_sp1.2.144.tgz" from smb://dc01/f_users/TEMP/software/intel_suite/Intel_Comp14SP1 into e.g. ~/software/intel/.
- Unpack it and execute the "install_GUI.sh".
- Select "Install as current user"
- Select "Chose alternative activation"
- Select "Use a license file"
- Browse to "~/software/intel/license.lic"
- Costumize installation
- Destination Folder: Browse to "~/software/intel/2013/
- Ignore warnings about missing Java and 32bit. To use MKL solver this is not needed.
- After installation you can delete "l_ccompxe_2013_sp1.2.144.tgz" and l_ccompxe_2013_sp1.2.144
Compile Carat
User Settings
First of all it is necessary to set some paths depending on where you stored the carat source and libs.
Navigate to the Carat++ source directory and make a copy of the "cmake_personal_input.template" to "cmake_personal_input.dat".
~/software/carat/src cp cmake_personal_input.template cmake_personal_input.dat
In this file you find the following part with commented lines where you have to set your user defined paths:
#============================== # set directories paths #============================== # BASIC INSTALLATION #set(CARAT_ROOT "C:/carat") #set(LIB_BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR "C:/carat/libs/boost_1_55_0") #set(LIB_BOOST_DIR "C:/carat/libs/boost_1_55_0/boost") #set(LIB_MKL_DIR "C:/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Composer XE 2011 SP1/mkl")
With the paths used in this installation guide the block should look like (don't forget to remove the #):
#============================== # set directories paths #============================== # BASIC INSTALLATION set(CARAT_ROOT "~/software/carat") set(LIB_BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR "~/software/carat/libs/boost_1_63_0") set(LIB_BOOST_DIR "~/software/carat/libs/boost_1_63_0/boost") set(LIB_MKL_DIR "~/software/intel/xe_2013/composer_xe_2013_sp1/mkl")
Set up the project
Navigate to the "build" directory. This is important so that all files are created here:
~/software/carat/build
Use ccmake to set up the project:
ccmake ../src/
Press "c" to configure the project. And set the follwing settings for a very basic installation:
BUILD_EXECUTABLE ON BUILD_NX_PLUG_IN OFF BUILD_RHINO_PLUG_IN_SDK4 OFF BUILD_RHINO_PLUG_IN_SDK5 OFF BUILD_SHARED_LIB OFF BUILD_STATIC_LIB OFF CFD_OPT OFF CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /usr/local ENABLE_CHOLMOD OFF ENABLE_PREC_SOLVER_LIB OFF EXTENSIVE_BENCHMARKS OFF MODULE_DESIGN ON MODULE_FORM_AND_CUT ON MODULE_GUI OFF MODULE_OPTIMIZATION ON MODULE_REPORT ON USE_32bit OFF USE_BOOST_LOGGING OFF USE_COSIMULATION OFF USE_FLANN_64BIT OFF USE_INTEL_COMP OFF USE_MKL ON USE_MPP OFF USE_OPENCASCADE OFF USE_OPENMP OFF USE_TRILINOS OFF
Press "g" to generate.
Compile
Still in the "build" directory:
make -j 8
Now you have a compiled version of Carat++ in your build directory. In Run Carat it is explained how to run Carat++.
Benchmarks
After each build or at least before a git commit the benchmarks have to be tested. In the "build" directory type:
make test
