Downloading and compiling SCHISM and utilities
You can download SCHISM at SCHISM site.
There are currently several build systems being used to build SCHISM, including GNU Make and CMake. The traditional GNU Makefiles are documented below, and are less powerful than CMake.
GNU Make
Upon untarring the source code bundle, you'll find two directories that are needed for gnu make.
- src
Makefile is the main makefile, and in general you should NOT change this file.
- mk
Make.defs.xxx define some environment variables used in src/Makefile, and 'xxx' refer to various clusters around the world. You should copy one of these to Make.defs.local; e.g., if you MPI compiler is Intel based ifort, you can:
cp Make.defs.tsunami Make.defs.local
Then you need to edit Make.defs.local for e.g. the path names on your local cluster, and turn on/off modules. SCHISM requires few external libraries including netcdf.
After this is done:
cd ../src make clean make
