Step-by-step instructions to build KAPSEL †

  • If KAPSEL binaries do not run on your machine, or if you want to modify KAPSEL source codes for your own purpose, you can build KAPSEL binaries from the source package.
↑

STEP 0: Linux or Windows? †

  • To build KAPSEL on Linux, goto STEP 1.
  • To build KAPSEL on Windows, install "Cygwin" first, then goto STEP 1. Be sure to include "gcc" and "make" packages.
  • KAPSEL can be build also on Mac OS-X. (not officially supported)
↑

STEP 1: Download and install "Gourmet" †

  • "Gourmet" is a graphic platform developed by OCTA project. The entire OCTA package is not necessarily. Only Gourmet is required to use KAPSEL.
  • Visit OCTA-BBS and Login. Registration is required if you haven't yet complete it.
  • For Linux
    • Follow "DOWNLOAD" -> "OCTA2007" -> "GOURMET 4.1.0 (on OCTA2007) for Windows and Linux".
    • download "gourmet_2007_linux.tar.gz"
   > tar zxvf gourmet_2007_linux.tar.gz
   > su
   > mkdir /usr/local/OCTA2007
   > mv GOURMET_2007 /usr/local/OCTA2007/.
  • For Windows
    • Follow "DOWNLOAD" -> "OCTA2007" -> "Platform GOURMET2007 in OCTA2007 (for Windows)".
    • download "GOURMET2007.exe" and click it.
↑

STEP 2: Build "libplatform" †

  • "libplatform" is an I/O library developed by OCTA project. One needs this library to access to UDF-formatted files.
  • For Linux:
   > su
   > cd /usr/local/OCTA2007/GOURMET_2007
   > tar zxvf gourmet2007_src.tar.gz
   > cd src
   > make
   > make install
  • For Windows:
    • Logon Windows with an administrator authorization
    • Open Cygwin window
   $ ln -s /cygdrive/c/OCTA2007/ /usr/local/.
   $ cd /usr/local/OCTA2007/GOURMET_2007
   $ unzip GOURMET_2007_SRC.zip
   $ cd src
   $ make
   $ make install
↑

STEP 3: Download "KAPSEL" †

  • Visit KAPSEL-BBS and Login. Registration is required if you haven't yet complete it.
  • Follow "DOWNLOAD" -> "KAPSEL-2" -> "KAPSEL-2" to download "kapsel.tar.gz".
↑

STEP 4: Build "KAPSEL" †

   > tar xvfpz kapsel.tar.gz
   > make
↑

STEP 5: Test "KAPSEL" †

   > ./kapsel -Isample1.udf -Ooutput.udf -Ddefine.udf -Rrestart.udf
   #using sample1.udf as input
   #using output.udf as output
   #using define.udf as definition
   #using restart.udf as restart
   #
   # Electrolyte eq. selected.
   #
   ...
  • If you see the output as shown in the above panel, KAPSEL has been successfully built.

STEP 2a: Build "libplatform" with icc on Linux †

  • For icc 7.1:
   > su
   > cd /usr/local/OCTA2007/GOURMET_2007/src
   > make clean
   > make WITHFC=no CC=icc CXX=icc
   > make install
  • For icc8.0:
   > su
   > cd /usr/local/OCTA2007/GOURMET_2007/src
   > make clean
   > make WITHFC=no CC=icc CXX="icpc -U GNU "
   > make install
  • For icc8.1 or later:
   > su
   > cd /usr/local/OCTA2007/GOURMET_2007/src
   > make clean
   > make WITHFC=no CC=icc CXX="icpc -lcxaguard"
   > make install
  • numerous warnings may appear but can be ignored them.

STEP 4a: Build "KAPSEL" with icc on Linux †

  • For icc
   > make clean
   > make ENV=ICC
  • For icc + MKL + OpenMP
   > make clean
   > make ENV=ICC_MKL_OMP
  • Numerous warnings may appear but can be ignored them.
