[Trilinos-Users] Compiling Trilinos

[Andrea Arteaga]

Dear All

I'm trying to do a slightly advanced compilation of Trilinos;
actually, I'm writing a script for an automatic compilation of
Trilinos on a GNU/Linux environment. I have a few questions regarding
the build system.


BLAS-LAPACK
------------------
I have to specify a few flags for the linkage against those libraries.
Depending on the implementation choosen by the user, I have include
dirs (less important), compilation flags such as --fopenmp, linker
flags such as --as-needed, link directories such as -L/opt/...,
dynamic libraries such as --lpthread. Where should I add all these
flags? I don't see any BLAS_CFLAGS, BLAS_LDFLAGS or similar variable;
should I use CMAKE_CFLAGS and similar instead?


Tests
------------------
In any case the script will compile the libraries. In some cases
(depending on the user's choise) it will run the tests, too. As the
compilation occours in different stages, I would like to "make libs"
and then, if the user requested them, compile and run the tests.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this: if I try "make test" after
"make libs", it tries to run the tests without having them compiled,
which results in failures for all tests. "make help" does not help me
finding a target which compiles the tests. Is there such a target? If
I just do "make", what is actually compiled?


Dependencies
------------------
Where can I find a list of required and optional dependencies of
Trilinos? Or maybe a per-package list, which would be very helpful.


Thanks in advance.
Best regards
