Prerequistes
All libraries listed below must be installed with development headers. It's better to install them using your linux's distribution package management system, instead of downloading directly from the website.
Required packages
- boost library 1.34 or later with components: date-time, filesystem, thread, regex, algorithm, foreach
- qt3 library, including multithreading (-mt) component
- freeglut3 / libglut3 development files
- make
- g++ (other compilers will most likely not work; you need g++>=4.2 for openMP support)
- sqlite3
- scons build system
- python-dev, python-scientific, python-numeric
See also this page and the pages related to specific Linux distributions.
Optional packages
- Ctags
- Doxygen
- wildmagic 3.11 ─ only if you want Delaunay triangulation support in lattice model
- log4cxx ─ only if you want extensive logging support and debugging
Recommended installation method
Being inside the directory where you downloaded the sources (ex "yade" if you use bazaar), run this command to install yade as a local user without root privileages:
scons version=trunk PREFIX=/home/username/YADE optimize=1 features=gts,vtk,opengl,openmp,log4cxx
(If you have a machine that you are the only user on, you can instead change permission on /usr/local sudo chown username: /usr/local and still use default paths without special priviledges).
Replace username with your user name. Also check out scons options to quickly compile debug version or systemwide install from debian package (as a root user), etc.
Generating Doxygen files
If you want to get the latest Doxygen documentation, you just need to do the next:
cd trunk scons doc
Be sure Doxygen and python-pygraphviz are installed.
You can take generated files in ./trunk/doc/doxygen/html/index.html
