Compiling dunexbeach under Windows

Skip to end of metadata
Go to start of metadata

If you want to compile the coupled version of Dune and XBeach under windows you need the following.

  • Cygwin (including gfortran, gcc, libtool, automake, libfftw3-devel, libfftw3)
  • MPICH2 source code release
  • netcdf>=4.1 source code
  • The following XBeach branches:
  • trunk
  • branches/esmf
  • branches/dune/Muller
  • branches/XD_XB_coupling

You can follow these steps:

  • Install cygwin
  • Compile MPICH2 using gfortran and make install (check if mpif90 is available)
  • Compile netCDF using gfortran and make install (check if nc-config is available)
  • Compile XBeach (--with-netcdf --without-mpi, mpi is not supported yet ), should generate a file called libxbeach.la
  • Compile dune in branches/dune/Muller (should generate a file called libdune.la)
  • Compile esmf (use settings like in settings under condition wl01485) (should generate a file called esmf.mod)
  • Compile XD_XB_Coupling (double check the Makefile.am, to see if it uses the correct locations for the libraries that were made in the previous steps). (should generate a file called xdunexbeach)

Setting up a simulation:

  • Create a directory with both dune and xbeach input (default.par, data/, params.txt)
  • Create a coupler setup file (see examples in coupler directory)
  • run xdunexbeach from the current directory.

Debugging:
Run the command path/to/xdunexbeachdir/libtool --mode=execute gdb path/to/xdunexbeachdir/xdunexbeach.

    I had to change the mpi flag to mpichcxx in Makefile.am in XD_XB_coupler to get it working. I might fix that in the configure.ac later.

    When configuring either netcdf or mpich2, it's important to place it into a folder with a name without any spaces, else it will encounter errors.

    Additionally, to avoid copying .dll files for every run, add the /bin folder from your cygwin installation directory to the windows path. (Control panel, settings, system, advanced, environment variables, system variable, edit path, add the directory to the path, seperated by a ;)
