• dependencies

  • python 2.7  ( Python 3.0 not tested )

    If you intend to use ecFlow Python api, You will need to install python.

    Please ensure that python is accessible on $PATH otherwise, you may need to

    customise $BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/v2/site-config.jam

    The python installation should include the development packages

  • Xlib, X11, XMotif for ecflowview . Do not use Lesstif library to compile ecflowview as a replacement for Motif. OpenMotif can be downloaded from http://www.ist.co.uk/downloads/motif_download.html

  • cmake (optional, alternative build system, see http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/cmake.html)

• ecfFlow consists of two tar files i.e. :

  • boost_1_53_0.tar.gz
  • ecflow_4_0_7.tar.gz

  Create a directory for the build:

  Code Block
  language bash
  mkdir /tmp/ecflow_build

• Copy the the two tar file into this directory, then change directory to /tmp/ecflow_build

• Un-zip then un-tar the two file files:

  Code Block
  language bash
  gunzip boost_1_53_0.tar.gz gunzip ecflow_4_0_7.tar.gz tar -xf boost_1_53_0.tar tar -xf ecflow_4_0_7.tar

• You should have three directories created:

  Code Block
  boost_1_53_0 ecflow_4_0_7 ecbuild

• Create two environment variables. These are used by some of scripts:

   

  Code Block
  language bash
  export WK=/tmp/ecflow_build/ecflow_4_0_7 export BOOST_ROOT=/tmp/ecflow_build/boost_1_53_0

...

To use the ecFlow Python Api , you need to add/change PYTHONPATH . 

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/apps/ecflow/4.0.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ecflow
