Quad-Double computation package
Copyright (C) 2003-2018
================================================
Revised 30 Oct 2018
To build this library, follow the steps below.
Some system specific notes are at the end of this file.
Build Instructions
==================
1. Run the configure script by typing
./configure
The script will attempt to automatically detect various system-dependent
variables used during compilation (such as the C++/fortran compiler,
compiler flags, and linker flags).
If you want to specify a particular C++ / F90 compiler and their flags,
you can set them as environmental variables. For example:
FC=ifc FCFLAGS="-O2 -FR" ./configure
Important variables are
CXX C++ compiler to use
CXXFLAGS C++ compiler flags to use
CC C compiler to use (for C demo program)
CFLAGS C compiler flags to use (for C demo program)
FC Fortran 90 compiler
FCFLAGS Fortran 90 compiler flags to use
FCLIBS Fortran 90 libraries needed to to link with C++ code.
See ./configure --help to see other options.
3. The configure script should also have created the files 'config.h' and
'include/qd/qd_config.h', which will contain the compile time
defines. Examine these and edit them if necessary. In most cases
no edits are necessary, since the options are detected when configure
was run.
4. Type "make". This will build the library, and necessary Fortran
wrappers.
5. Optionally, one can build and run some simple test programs.
To do this, type "make check". Some programs run during this
phase is a good demonstration of how to use the qd library in C++.
6. You can now install the QD library by issuing "make install".
7. If you want to build some sample programs written in C++
you can type "make cpp-demo".
8. If you want to build some sample programs written in Fortran 90,
you can type "make fortran-demo".
9. If you want to compile the Experimental Mathematician's Toolkit,
type "make toolkit". This will compile the Fortran-90 codes in
the toolkit cirectory, including the "mathinit" and "mathtool"
Read the "README" file in the toolkit directory for additional details.
System-Specific Notes
=====================
Linux with Intel processors
-------------------
You can use g++ to compile the C++ code, which is a part of all
Linux or other Unix distributions. The Fortran 90 codes
can be compiled using the gfortran compiler available at
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries
Alternatively, one can use the Intel compilers, available at:
http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/clin/
http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/flin/
One can specify specific compilers for the configure script, as in:
./configure CXX=g++ FC=gfortran
Apple (OS X)
------------
For Apple OS X Intel-based systems, it is recommended that you use
the g++ compiler and related command-line tools, available via this URL:
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action
See "Command-line tools" for your version of OS X. The above URL requires
a registered Apple ID. It may be necessary to install Apple's Xcode
package first.
The gfortran compiler for Mac OS X can be downloaded from:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries
After installing these compilers, in the main qd directory type
./configure CXX=g++ FC=gfortran FCFLAGS=-m64
then type "make" to construct the library. See the "README" file on
how to construct a compile-link script for your own codes.
IBM (Power)
-----------
With IBM's xlC/xlf90 compilers, you may want to experiment with
--enable-fma option which uses a faster code but relies on the
compiler to generate a fused multiply-accumulate instruction.
WARNING: since the compiler is not required to produce such
instructions, this is not guaranteed to work. Please test before
using.
