Dynaωo

Dynaωo compilation and launching can be customised through environment variables. util/envDynawo.sh script defines some environment variables than can be overridden by the user. The myEnvDynawo.sh script created at the first step of install is a simple way for the user to customise those environment variables. Some variables are mandatory and some are optional, this page aims at providing information about all those variables.

Mandatory variables

To launch util/envDynawo.sh script a list of variables needs to be defined.

All the variables should be defined through an export export VAR=VALUE. For simplicity we recommend to define those in myEnvDynawo.sh like it is done in the install procedure of Dynaωo.

Variable Description Value
DYNAWO_HOME Path of Dynaωo source code. PATH
DYNAWO_BUILD_TYPE Compile Dynaωo in Release or Debug. Debug or Release
DYNAWO_CXX11_ENABLED Should compiler use -std=c++11 or -std=c++98. YES or NO
DYNAWO_SRC_OPENMODELICA Path of OpenModelica source code. PATH
DYNAWO_INSTALL_OPENMODELICA Path of OpenModelica install folder. PATH

Optional variables

Below is a list of variables that are optional to define in myEnvDynawo.sh. Usually we recommend to at least define:

Variable Description Value
DYNAWO_NB_PROCESSORS_USED Allow to use multiple cores for compilation. 1 (default) or n
DYNAWO_BROWSER Define your default browser command. firefox (default) or other
DYNAWO_PDFVIEWER Define your default pdf viewer command. xdg-open (default) or other (evince)
DYNAWO_RESULTS_SHOW Should browser open at the end of simulation or tests coverage. true (default) or false
DYNAWO_LOCALE Enable to create a different local language for dictionaries. en_GB
DYNAWO_COMPILER Choose compiler GCC (default) or CLANG
DYNAWO_PYTHON_COMMAND python commands needs to be in PATH, use this variable to use a different version. python (default) or python3
DYNAWO_LIBARCHIVE_HOME Path to a custom install of libarchive. PATH (default is system one)
DYNAWO_BOOST_HOME Path to a custom install of Boost. PATH (default is system one)
DYNAWO_GTEST_HOME Path to a custom install of GoogleTest. PATH (default is system one)
DYNAWO_GMOCK_HOME Path to a custom install of GoogleMock. Usually GTEST_ROOT (default is system one)

For DYNAWO_LOCALE only en_GB is available for the moment and the user would have to define its own dictionaries in $DYNAWO_HOME/dynawo/sources/Common/Dictionaries for its language, for example for fr_FR.

Optional optional variables

Some other variables are even more optional and can be defined by the user in some very particular cases. We recommend to let util/envDynawo.sh define those variables but if you do export them, beware of the consequences.

Variable Description Value
DYNAWO_BUILD_DIR Path to a build directory (because of CMake should be different than DYNAWO_HOME). PATH
DYNAWO_INSTALL_DIR Path where you want to install Dynaωo. PATH
DYNAWO_DEPLOY_DIR Path where you want to deploy Dynaωo. PATH
DYNAWO_THIRD_PARTY_BUILD_DIR Where you want to build 3rd Parties. PATH
DYNAWO_THIRD_PARTY_INSTALL_DIR Where you want to install 3rd Parties. PATH
DYNAWO_USE_XSD_VALIDATION Enable to use information to validate xml files. true (default) or false
DYNAWO_FLOT_DOWNLOAD_URL Url to a repository containing a Flot archive (named v0.6.0.tar.gz). Default https://github.com/flot/flot/archive.
DYNAWO_JQUERY_DOWNLOAD_URL Url to a repository containing a JQuery archive (named 1.3.2.targ.gz). Default https://github.com/jquery/jquery/archive
DYNAWO_CPPLINT_DOWNLOAD_URL Url to a repository containing a ccplint archive (named 1.3.0.targ.gz). Default https://github.com/cpplint/cpplint/archive
DYNAWO_ADEPT_DOWNLOAD_URL Url to a repository containing a Adept archive (named adept-2.1.1.tar.gz). Default http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/clouds/adept
DYNAWO_MODELICA_GIT_URL Url to a git repository of Modelica Standard Library. Default https://github.com/modelica/ModelicaStandardLibrary.git
DYNAWO_OPENMODELICA_GIT_URL Url to a git repository of OpenModelica. Default https://openmodelica.org/git-readonly/OpenModelica.git
DYNAWO_SUITE_SPARSE_DOWNLOAD_URL Url to a repository containing a SuiteSparse archive (named SuiteSparse-5.10.1.tar.gz). Default http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/davis/SuiteSparse
DYNAWO_SUNDIALS_DOWNLOAD_URL Url to a repository containing a Sundials archive (named sundials-6.3.0.tar.gz). Default https://computation.llnl.gov/projects/sundials/download
DYNAWO_XERCESC_DOWNLOAD_URL Url to a repository containing a Xerces-C++ archive (named xerces-c-3.2.2.tar.gz). Default http://archive.apache.org/dist/xerces/c/3/sources

Custom install of system libraries

Some system libraries that should be installed through a package manager (dnf or apt for example) can be installed from source and used to compile Dynaωo against them. We don’t recommend to do this on recent OS but this procedure has been tested on Centos6.4 with success. Below we provide small scripts to download and compile a Release or Debug version of those libraries. All downloads and builds will be done in the directory where you create the scripts (i.e. execute the first command).

Lcov

$> echo '#!/bin/bash
LCOV_VERSION=1.13
LCOV_ARCHIVE=lcov-$LCOV_VERSION.tar.gz
LCOV_DIRECTORY=lcov-$LCOV_VERSION
LCOV_DOWNLOAD_URL=https://downloads.sourceforge.net/ltp
SCRIPT_DIR=$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)
INSTALL_DIR=$SCRIPT_DIR/Lcov/install/$LCOV_VERSION
cd $SCRIPT_DIR
if [ ! -f "${LCOV_ARCHIVE}" ]; then
  if [ -x "$(command -v curl)" ]; then
    curl -L ${LCOV_DOWNLOAD_URL}/${LCOV_ARCHIVE} -o ${LCOV_ARCHIVE} || { echo "Error while downloading Lcov."; exit 1; }
  else
    echo "You need to install curl."
    exit 1
  fi
fi
if [ ! -d "$SCRIPT_DIR/$LCOV_DIRECTORY" ]; then
  tar -xzf $LCOV_ARCHIVE -C $SCRIPT_DIR || { echo "Error while extracting Lcov."; exit 1; }
fi
if [ ! -d "$INSTALL_DIR" ]; then
  mkdir -p $INSTALL_DIR
fi
cd "$SCRIPT_DIR/$LCOV_DIRECTORY"
DESTDIR=$INSTALL_DIR make install || { echo "Error while make install."; exit 1; }' > compile_lcov.sh
$> chmod +x compile_lcov.sh
$> ./compile_lcov.sh

You can then use your custom install with export PATH=/path/to/compile_lcov.sh/Lcov/install/1.13/usr/local/bin:$PATH in your myEnvDynawo.sh script.

CMake

$> echo '#!/bin/bash
CMAKE_VERSION=3.12.3
CMAKE_VERSION_SHORT=3.12
CMAKE_ARCHIVE=cmake-$CMAKE_VERSION.tar.gz
CMAKE_DOWNLOAD_URL=https://cmake.org/files/v$CMAKE_VERSION_SHORT
CMAKE_DIRECTORY=cmake-$CMAKE_VERSION
SCRIPT_DIR=$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)
INSTALL_DIR=$SCRIPT_DIR/cmake/install/${CMAKE_VERSION//_/.}
NB_PROCESSORS_USED=1
pushd $SCRIPT_DIR
if [ ! -f "${CMAKE_ARCHIVE}" ]; then
  if [ -x "$(command -v curl)" ]; then
    curl -L ${CMAKE_DOWNLOAD_URL}/${CMAKE_ARCHIVE} -o ${CMAKE_ARCHIVE} || { echo "Error while downloading cmake."; exit 1; }
  else
    echo "You need to install curl."
    exit 1
  fi
fi
if [ ! -d "$SCRIPT_DIR/$CMAKE_DIRECTORY" ]; then
  tar -xzf $CMAKE_ARCHIVE -C $SCRIPT_DIR || { echo "Error while extracting cmake."; exit 1; }
fi

if [ ! -d "$INSTALL_DIR" ]; then
  mkdir -p $INSTALL_DIR
fi
pushd $SCRIPT_DIR/$CMAKE_DIRECTORY
./bootstrap --system-curl --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR || { echo "Error while bootstrap cmake."; exit 1; }
make -j $NB_PROCESSORS_USED || { echo "Error while cmake make."; exit 1; }
make -j $NB_PROCESSORS_USED install || { echo "Error while cmake make install."; exit 1; }' > compile_cmake.sh
$> chmod +x compile_cmake.sh
$> ./compile_cmake.sh

You can use your custom install with export PATH=PATH_TO_CMAKE_INSTALL/bin:$PATH in your myEnvDynawo.sh script.
