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:

  1. TODO please add more if you tested it there

IDE

The IDE of choice is Micrsoft Visual Studio 2015. Install it with user defined settings and make shure to check the C++ components as they are not installed by default:

TODO Anna, bitte hierzu screenshots machen, hab ich falsch gemacht: In Visual Studio 2015 ist Visual C++ nicht standardmäßig installiert Achten Sie bei der Installation darauf, Benutzerdefiniert und anschließend die erforderlichen C++-Komponenten auszuwählen. Wenn Visual Studio bereits installiert ist, wählen Sie Datei | Neu | Projekt | C++, anschließend werden Sie aufgefordert, die erforderlichen Komponenten zu installieren.

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 boost library version 1.63.0 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:

  1. Open the Windwos command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the "carat/libs/boost_1_63_0 directory.
  3. Compile boost with the following lines in the command prompt.
bootstrap
b2 link=shared address-model=64
b2 link=static address-model=64 runtime-link=static
  1. Now add the following path to the compiled boost libraries to your environmental variable "Path":
C:\carat\libs\boost_1_63_0\stage\lib\

MKL

Intel MKL is a equation solving library, that is strongly recommended to use.

  1. Install the Intel mkl package located at "\\DC01\F_Users\TEMP\software\intel_suite\MKL_2017_standalone\windows" with default settings.
  2. Now add the following path to the compiled boost libraries to your environmental variable "Path":
C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2017\windows\redist\intel64\mkl\

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". Do not modify the "cmake_personal_input.template" 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 "C:/carat/libs/boost_1_63_0")
set(LIB_BOOST_DIR "C:/carat/libs/boost_1_63_0/boost")
set(LIB_MKL_DIR "C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2017\windows\mkl\include")

Create the project with CMake

Set the following settings for a very basic installation:
