Download and compilation

If you are using a Debian-based system, install the required libraries first:

apt-get install git git-core cmake g++ gfortran freeglut3-dev libsuitesparse-dev libglew1.5-dev libxerces-c-dev xsdcxx

(Note: cmake has to be at least version 2.6 or later, matplotlib has to be at least 0.98.5.2 or higher.)

To obtain the source code, clone the Git repository from Github:

git clone git://github.com/hpfem/hermes.git

These two repositories are synchronized. For more advanced users we recommend to create a free account at Github (if you do not have one yet), fork the Hermes repository, and then clone your Github copy of Hermes to your local computer. This will establish links between your local copy and the master repository, and you’ll become part of the Hermes network at Github.

Once you have a local copy of the Hermes repository on your computer, change dir to hermes/. There you will find a CMakeLists.txt file that contains the lines:

# OpenMP
# "-1" stands for using as many threads as is the number of available cores.
# Please be aware that the variable OMP_NUM_THREADS, that is often used for this purpose, is ignored.
set(NUM_THREADS -1)

# HermesCommon
  set(HERMES_COMMON_DEBUG     YES)
              set(HERMES_COMMON_RELEASE   YES)
  ...

# Hermes2D:
set(WITH_H2D                        YES)
  set(H2D_DEBUG               YES)
              set(H2D_RELEASE             YES)
              # Optional parts of the library.
              set(H2D_WITH_GLUT                                     YES)
  ...

set(WITH_SUPERLU            NO)
...

Create a file called “CMake.vars” where you set all these variables according to your needs. Examples of CMake.vars files can be found in the CMakeVars folder. After that, type:

cmake .
make

If you have more than one CPU, you can use “make -jN” where N is the number of CPUs of your computer.

Debugging with Eclipse

To use eclipse as debugger, in the root folder of the project:

mkdir eclipse_build
cd eclipse_build
cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../

In Eclipse:

• Import project using Menu File->Import
• Select General->Existing projects into workspace:
• Browse where your build tree is and select the root build tree directory.
• Keep “Copy projects into workspace” unchecked.

Install Hermes

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/usr .
make
make install
