Installation

The following steps should install SUNDIALS:

  • Go to the SUNDIALS directory

  • Create build and install subdirectories:
      mkdir build && mkdir install
      cd build
  • Compile and install
      cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install \
            -DENABLE_MPI=ON \
            -DMPI_C_COMPILER=mpicc \
            -DMPI_CXX_COMPILER=mpicxx \
            -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS='-O3' \
            -DSUNDIALS_BUILD_WITH_MONITORING=ON ../
      make install

    • Linking to SUNDIALS

  • Set environment variable SUNDIALS_DIR (Can be set in .bashrc too)
      export SUNDIALS_DIR=/path/to/sundials/install
      (Eg. SUNDIALS_DIR=/home/ghosh/sundials/install)
  • Include flags:
    -I$(SUNDIALS_DIR)/include
  • Linker flags (for ARKODE with parallel vectors):
      -L$(SUNDIALS_DIR)/lib \
      -L$(SUNDIALS_DIR)/lib64 \
      -lsundials_arkode \
      -lsundials_nvecparallel
    See SUNDIALS documentation for the appropriate linker flags for other packages.
