Compiling CalculiX ccx on fedora, ubuntu and debian

[PrzemoF]

The script to build CalculiX ccx from scratch of fedora/ubuntu/debian [1].

1a. for FEDORA install git tar make bzip2 gzip make aprack arpack-devel lapack lapack-devel blas blas-devel

Code: Select all

dnf install git tar make bzip2 gzip make arpack arpack-devel lapack lapack-devel blas blas-devel

1b. for UBUNTU/DEBIAN install git tar make bzip2 gzip liblapack-dev libarpack2 libarpack2-dev libblas3 libblas-dev gfortran

Code: Select all

apt-get update && apt-get install git tar make bzip2 gzip liblapack-dev libarpack2 libarpack2-dev libblas3 libblas-dev gfortran

2. clone the repo

Code: Select all

git clone https://gitlab.com/PrzemoF/calculix-build-script

3. cd into the repo

Code: Select all

cd calculix-build-script

4a. ..and run script. It should produce ccx executable
FEDORA:

Code: Select all

./fedora.sh

UBUNTU/DEBIAN

Code: Select all

./ubuntu.sh

5. Start FreeCAD, open FEM workbench (required to get FEM wb properties in Settings)
6. Go to Edit->Preferences->FEM-CalculiX and set path to the newly compiled ccx file

Maybe we can get Calculix in to Rawhide ?

[PrzemoF]

You mean fedora rawhide? I think the script should work as well - I'll try to test it if I can run rawhide in gnome Boxes. Ubuntu flavours will be next on the TODO list as well.

Yes, Fedora Rawhide.
BTW, https://github.com/luzpaz/FreeCAD-depen ... /issues/30

[PrzemoF]

The script works fine on rawhide as well. I need to put together a list of required packages (git, tar, gzip, bzip2, make + libraries) to make it foolproof.

I'm giving up with ubuntu for now - it's too weird for me (read: I don't know it). Getting installed package version is strange, names of libraries don't match dev packages and there is no arpack (or it's under some other name). I'll probably come back to it if there is any interest to compile ccx on ubuntu.

... and wrt making this “foolproof”, please count me in as a fool. I have no idea where to start.

[PrzemoF]

Code: Select all

git clone https://gitlab.com/PrzemoF/calculix-build-script.git

Run the ubuntu.sh, read what's missing, install with apt-get, run again, repeat. Alternatively install all those before running the script:
tar make bzip2 gzip liblapack-dev libarpack2 libarpack2-dev libblas3 libblas-dev gfortran

I got great help on ubuntu channel, so the script should be almost ready.

[PrzemoF]

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get install git tar make bzip2 gzip liblapack-dev libarpack2 libarpack2-dev libblas3 libblas-dev gfortran
git clone https://gitlab.com/PrzemoF/calculix-build-script.git
cd calculix-build-script
./ubuntu.sh

Enabling Universe repo might not work on older versions of ubuntu, more here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/148638/ ... ory#227788

Edit: one-liner to build ccx for ubuntu 18.10:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository universe && sudo apt-get install git ; git clone https://gitlab.com/PrzemoF/calculix-build-script.git && cd calculix-build-script/ && sudo apt-get install tar make bzip2 gzip liblapack-dev libarpack2 libarpack2-dev libblas3 libblas-dev gfortran && ./ubuntu.sh
