Before installing Feel++, you need to get these required packages:
Feel++ is distributed as a tarball once in a while. The tarballs are available at
Download the latest tarball. Then follow the steps and replace x, y, z
with the corresponding numbers
tar xzf feel-x.y.z.tar.gz cd feel-x.y.z
We define then the current directory as the source one, ie:
export FeelppSrcDir=`pwd`
Please note that 4 GBytes of RAM is a minimum to compile Feel++ with GCC
. With Clang, the memory footprint is much lower.
In order to compile Feel++ and a test application, we create a new directory:
mkdir build cd build export FeelppBuildDir=`pwd`
and then, we are able to compile our first application:
cd $FeelppBuildDir $FeelppSrcDir/configure -r make -j4
This procedure will build the whole library (with Release configuration) and programs to solve
make installSee page Building Feel++ for more details.
