Building SWAN using GNU make

Carry out the following steps for building SWAN on your computer.

1. An include file containing some machine-dependent macros must be created first. This file is called macros.inc and can be created by typing

               make config
   

2. Now, SWAN can be built for serial or parallel mode, as follows:
   

   mode	instruction
   serial	make ser
   parallel, shared	make omp
   parallel, distributed	make mpi

   
   

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• To Windows users:
  • To execute the above instructions, just open a command prompt.
  • To build SWAN on Windows platforms by means of a Makefile you need the command-line utility Nmake, which is provided by the Microsoft Visual Studio.
  • This setup does support OpenMP for Windows systems, if Intel Fortran Compiler is provided.
  • This installation currently supports Intel MPI library for Windows. See Section 3.2.4 for further information.
• One of the commands make ser, make omp and make mpi must be preceded once by make config.
• If desirable, you may clean up the generated object files and modules by typing make clean. If you want to delete any stray files from a previous compilation, just type make clobber.
• If you are unable to install SWAN using the Makefile and Perl scripts for whatever reason, see Section 3.2.3 that includes instructions for a custom installation.
