After changing into the build Magics directory, the user user has to run CMake with his/her own options. The command gives feedback on what requirements are fulfilled and what software is still required. Table below gives an overview of the different options of configure. The default (without any options) will compile a share library only and install it in /usr/local/.
| cmake options | doc | default | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ECCODES_PATH | where to find eccodes ( if non-standard installation ) | ||||
| ENABLE_NETCDF | enable netcdf support | on | |||
| NETCDF_PATH | where to find netcdf ( if non-standard installation ) | ||||
| ENABLE_ODB | enable odb support | off | |||
| ODB_API_PATH | where to find odb ( if non-standard installation ) | ||||
| ENABLE_PYTHON | enable python interface | auto | ENABLE_FORTRAN | enable fortran interface | on |
| ENABLE_METVIEW | enable metview support(and Qt support) | off | |||
| ENABLE_CAIRO | enable Cairo support | on | |||
| BOOST_ROOT | where to find boost ( if non-standard installation ) | PROJ4_PATH | where to find proj4 ( if non-standard installation ) |
To make sure that a feature is really enabled, you will have to specify with the option ex: -DENABLE_GRIBNETCDF=ON. In that case CMake will fail if the GRIB NetCDF support cannot be enabled.

The Magics code contains a directory called test in which, in separate sub-directories, tests for the various interfaces of Magics are provided. Test programs in Fortran , and C , Python and MagML are compiled and run if MAGPLUS_HOME=$PWD make check is invoked from the root directory. (Note that the MAGPLUS_HOME needs to be set!)
