WSL

Unless a native Windows build is strictly required, we recommend using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2). First, ensure that:

  1. virtualization is turned on in BIOS,
  2. Hyper-V and Virtual Machine Platform are turned on in Windows features,
  3. Memory integrity is turned on in Windows Security (Core isolation).

When all the requirements are met, WSL can be installed via a console

wsl.exe --install [Distro]

where Distro is the name of the Linux distribution.

The install steps are then the same as those described in Build/Linux.

Windows

The following instructions have been tested on windows 10 64bits, in Release and Debug configurations, and with the following packages versions: Visual Studio 2022, CMake 3.23, Python 3.8.7, SWIG 4.0.2, Eigen 3.3.9, Gmsh 4.8.4.

Required libraries

  1. Git
    Install git from https://git-scm.com/download/win.

  2. Visual Studio
    Download the Visual Studio installer from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ and follow the instructions. You can either download the full installer including the IDE (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&channel=Release&version=VS2022), or only the build tools (https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_BuildTools.exe). The following instructions assumes that VS has been installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio.

  3. CMake
    Install CMake from https://cmake.org/, and add the executable to the Path environment variable (e.g. C:\Program Files\CMake\bin).

  4. Python and packages
    Install Python from https://www.python.org/, and add the executable to the Path environment variable (e.g. C:\Program Files\Python). Install python packages using pip

python -m pip install numpy
python -m pip install scipy
python -m pip install vtk

  1. SWIG
    Download SWIG from http://www.swig.org/, unzip it to the location of your choice, and add the executable to the Path environment variable (e.g. C:\Program Files\SWIG).

  2. Eigen
    Download Eigen from https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Main_Page, unzip it to the location of your choice (e.g. C:\Program Files\eigen).

  3. Gmsh
    Download gmsh from https://gmsh.info/, unzip it to the location of your choice, and add the executable to the Path environment variable (e.g. C:\Program Files\gmsh).

  4. CoDiPack Download CoDiPack from https://github.com/SciCompKL/CoDiPack, unzip it to the location of your choice (e.g. C:\Program Files\codipack).

Build

REM setup env
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\Program Files\eigen
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\Program Files\codipack
REM clone SDPM (e.g. in C:\Users\Me\dev\sdpm)
cd C:\Users\Me\dev
git clone git@gitlab.uliege.be:am-dept/sdpm.git
cd sdpm
REM configure, build and test
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && cmake --build . [--target install] --config Release REM alternatively, cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && cmake --build . [--target install]
ctest [-j6] -C Release

Run an example
From the SDPM root directory:

python run.py sdpm\tests\lann.py
