You should have completed the installation of grib_api, FCM and downloaded and unpacked the OpenIFS data files and OpenIFS source code. Reminder: FCM is the name of the build software used to compile OpenIFS. |
Build configuration
Before compiling the OpenIFS model, the build configuration must first be set by several environment variables:
OIFS_ARCH - This sets the architecture of the computer. By default, the FCM build configuration assumes x86_64 (i.e. Linux)
OIFS_COMP - This sets the choice of compiler. The default is 'gnu' which means the gfortran/gcc compilers will be used.
OIFS_BUILD - This sets the type of build. Several choices can be build; fully optimized (opt), debugging/unoptimized (noopt), debugging with array bound checking (nansC) mode.
These environment variables directly correspond to the names of the FCM configuration files in the make/fcmcfg/ directory in the OpenIFS source. Please see this directory for the possible choices supported.
e.g.
Code Block |
---|
export OIFS_ARCH=x86_64
export OIFS_COMP=intel
export OIFS_BUILD=opt |
means using the Intel ifort compiler on a x86_64 computer architecture and the model will be compiled with full optimization compiler settings. Also the FCM build system will expect to find a file:
Code Block |
---|
x86_64-intel-opt.cfg |
in the 'make/fcmcfg' directory.
Code Block |
---|
export OIFS_ARCH=aix_pwr6
export OIFS_COMP=xlf
export OIFS_BUILD=noopt |
means FCM will look for a file:
Code Block |
---|
aix_pwr6-xlf-noopt.cfg |
in the make/fcmcfg directory suitable for building on IBM Power6 architecture using the XLF/XLCC compilers using non-optimized settings.
