Build trilinos in windows by visual studio

1. You need cmake installed in your computer.

2. You need msys installed in your computer.

3. Of course, visual studio also. The free express edition is OK.

4. You need BLAS and LAPACK compiler in you computer. I choose clapack beacuse it need no Fortran compiler which could be compiler by express edition of visual studio.

5. Optional: MPI ( MPICH2 or MS-MPI ) for parallel computation.
And, HDF5, MUMPS、UMFPACK etc

6. Download Trilinos and uncompress it.

7. Make a new dir in your Trilinos home, e.g. &(TRILINOS_HOME)\build

8. Write down a shell script in this new folder like below

#!/bin/sh

EXTRA_ARGS=&@
rm -r CMakeCache.txt CMakeFiles/

cmake \
-G "Visual Studio 11 Win64" \
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_TESTS:BOOL=ON \
-D TPL_ENABLE_MPI:BOOL=ON \
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_ALL_OPTIONAL_PACKAGES:BOOL=OFF \
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_Epetra:BOOL=ON \
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_EpetraExt:BOOL=ON \
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_AztecOO:BOOL=ON \
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_Amesos:BOOL=ON \
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_Belos:BOOL=ON \
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_Ifpack:BOOL=ON \
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_FEI:BOOL=ON \
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_ML:BOOL=ON \
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_Stratimikos:BOOL=ON \
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_Fortran:BOOL=OFF \
-D TPL_ENABLE_BLAS:BOOL=ON \
-D TPL_ENABLE_LAPACK:BOOL=ON \
$EXTRA_ARGS \

${TRILINOS_HOME}

9. Just run it in msys, it will generate files neccesary for VS compiler.

10. Compile.

Compiler errors
1. Return type error in Teuchos_Array.hpp
2. std::insert not defined error in Teucho_array.hpp, Ifpack_ConfigDefs.hpp, MLAPI_MultiVector.h.
Just include <funtional> to resolve it.
3. Add the following line into file EpetraExt_ConfigDefs.h if you include both HDF5 and MPI. Otheriwise errors of H5Pset_fapl_mpio etc not defined exist.
#ifndef H5_HAVE_PARALLEL
#define H5_HAVE_PARALLEL
#endif
4. There exists many error in packages like anasazi, zoltan that is hard to resolve!

cygwin下unable to remap的对处方法

有关于fork()或dll加载的错误, 可通过执行rebaseall消除.过程如下(http://cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/Rebaseall)

1. 关闭所有cygwin程序
2. 进入cmd
3. 进入ash
4. 执行rebaseall

rebaseall似乎修正所有/bin/下dll的基地址. 对自装程序,可如

$ /bin/rebase -s -v /usr/local/lib/.../*.dll

用-s指定文件夹

Bugs in CMakeLists.txt of VTK

1. 将Utilities/MaterialLibray/CMakeLists.txt 第78_84行

IF (NOT "${VTK_BINARY_DIR}" MATCHES "^${VTK_SOURCE_DIR}$")
# Ensure that the Source and Build dir are not same.
# In that case we don't need to copy anything.
COPY_FILES_TO_DIR(${MaterialLibrary_SOURCE_DIR}/Repository
    ${VTK_DEFAULT_SHADERS_DIR})
ENDIF (NOT "${VTK_BINARY_DIR}" MATCHES "^${VTK_SOURCE_DIR}$")

改写为
STRING(COMPARE EQUAL "${VTK_BINARY_DIR}" "${VTK_SOURCE_DIR}" INSOURCE)
IF (NOT INSOURCE)
# Ensure that the Source and Build dir are not same.
# In that case we don't need to copy anything.
COPY_FILES_TO_DIR(${MaterialLibrary_SOURCE_DIR}/Repository
    ${VTK_DEFAULT_SHADERS_DIR})
ENDIF (NOT INSOURCE

2. 将Testing/Intsall/CMakeLists.txt内

if("x${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}" MATCHES "^x${VTK_BINARY_DIR}/InstallTest$")
add_test(NAME Install
    COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -DCONFIGURATION=$<CONFIGURATION>
                             -DVTK_BINARY_DIR=${VTK_BINARY_DIR}
                             -P ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/InstallTest.cmake
    )
endif()

改写为
STRING(COMPARE EQUAL "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}" "${VTK_BINARY_DIR}/InstallTest" INSOURCE)
if(INSOURCE)
add_test(NAME Install
    COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -DCONFIGURATION=$<CONFIGURATION>
                             -DVTK_BINARY_DIR=${VTK_BINARY_DIR}
                             -P ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/InstallTest.cmake
    )
endif()

mingw64的安装方法

1. 下载ming-w64
     http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/
     or x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.7.2-release-win32_rubenvb.7z from
     http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/sfnet_mingw-w64/

2. 下载MSYS - mingw-w64
     http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/MSYS

3. 将ming-w64解压后移至/c/mingw64
     将MSYS解压后移至/c/msys

4. 双击 C:\msys\msys.bat
5. 在/c/msys下执行sh /postinstall/pi.sh, 或直接修改/c/msys/fsta如下
     c:/mingw64 mingw
此时在msys环境下执行mount可确认mount状态.

6. 修改windows PATH路径设定或修改/c/msys/profile如下
   export PATH=".:/mingw/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib:/mingw/libexec/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.7.2:/mingw/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:$PATH"

7. 下载并安装其他工具,如gdb, make, pthread等
   ming-w64中没有find,可转用mingw32 msys中的find.

8. 编译工具为/ming64/bin下的 x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc. 直接用gcc出错.

cygwin下mpich的编译

1. ./configure
2. 将PATH设定为最小
       C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin
        C:\cygwin\bin
否则回出现如
    sh 3220 child_info_fork::abort: can't commit memory for stack 0x28A000(90112), Win32 error
487
的错误.
3. make
4. make install

MPICH2在Window 7(64bit)上的安装

0. 下载mpich2
    http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/
1. 删除旧MPICH2
2. 以管理者权限执行command prompt
3. 键入"msiexec /i mpich2安装文件名.msi"
4. 选择对Everyone安装
5. 将$MPICHROOT\bin加入路径名列表
6. 顺次键入
   smpd -install
   mpiexec -remove
   mpiexec -register
   在此登陆用户名和密码(必须和计算机中登陆的相同)
   (上述步骤也可使用wmpiconfig)
7. 确认-键入
mpiexec -validate
  须显示SUCCESS
    键入
    smpd -status
   须显示'smpd running on $hostname$'
8. 进入$MPICHROOT\examples, 键入
    'mpiexec -n 2 cpi'
   确认并行计算

远程管理程序设定的移转方法

Putty设定的保存和读出
1. 使用regedit将 HKEY_CURRENY_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions内容export
　　　reg export HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY putty.reg
2. 双击export出的reg文件即可恢复该设定。或键入
　　　reg import putty.reg

WinSCP设定的保存和读出
1. 打开WinSCP->设定->环境设定->export输出WinSCP.ini文件
