Elmer Discussion Forum

How about distributing ElmerGUI in a separate package, so that ElmerSolver and ElmerGrid can at least be installed on (almost) all systems?

Wow, that would be cool, I only need ElmerGrid and ElmerSolver !

In that case, you could also try to compile only those, that would make compilation a lot easier.

Is there some doku how to do that only?

Hi,

I have done a compilation some time ago on Linux Mint 17, but not entirely successful. Have a look at this thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3742&start=0&sid=de ... bf40905458, you will find much info there.

HTH,

Matthias

Remark: The need for up-to-date compilation instructions at least for some of the most popular Linux distros (e.g. Ubuntu LTS) is still there. It would be very nice if they could be maintained by the Elmer team at a place where the community can find them. Maybe one could just regularly publish the compilation scripts and library dependencies used for building the launchpad packages...?

gave compiling a try. see viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4997&start=0

Hello, I am new to this forum.

Using Ubuntu-Mate 20.04 upgrade I was tying to use download *.deb files.
All other prerequisite libraries could successfully be installed.

Unfortunately I allways get "missing libgfortran" with all versions, although fortan is installed and working.

Compiling runs with warnings and fails due to other reasons, not Fortran. Unexperienced with compiling large systems I would prefer installing from a *.deb file. I do not need the latest version. Where can I find it?

Hi

Several deb packages should be available from launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/~elmer-csc-ubuntu ... er-csc-ppa

Those with ending "-eg" include the GUI, the vanilla version not. The 20.04 with the GUI happens to be broken (looking at it), but the non-gui version seems to compile there ok.

Attached is also the script used in our VM to compile Elmer for Ubuntu 20.04
