To use the library of XBeach you have to use the VS2010 solution (in the VS2010 directory). The xbeach.dll will be made if you compile the XBeach.Library project file.

Linux

Make sure you have at least libtool 2.0 because older versions did not include support for fortran90

The XBeach library is made by default. The result of just running configure && make is:

  • an xbeach executable
  • a .libs directory

The xbeach executable is a shell script. The .libs directory contains the real executable and the static and dynamic libraries. If you install xbeach by using "make install" the shell script will be replaced by the real executable in the default path (/usr/local/bin) or in the path defined by the --prefix option of the configure script. 

# this will put xbeach in the /home/user/xbeach-r1234/bin directory
./configure --prefix=/home/user/xbeach-r1234 && make install 

# this will put xbeach shell script +  .libs directory in the current directory
./configure & make

# this will create an xbeach wrapper script and .libs directory for multiple versions
mkdir r1234
mkdir r1235
svn up -r1234
cd r1234 
../configure
make
cd ../r1235
../configure
make

# this will make xbeach versions in multiple directories
mkdir ~/xbeachr1234
mkdir ~/xbeachr1235
svn up -r1234
./configure --prefix=$(cd;pwd)/xbeachr1234
make install
make clean
svn up -r1235
./configure --prefix=$(cd;pwd)/xbeachr1235
make install

# this debugs xbeach
./libtool --mode=execute gdb ./xbeach

# this shows what xbeach is linked against
./libtool --mode=execute ldd ./xbeach # otool -L in OSX

# this debugs xbeach in mpi in 2 different terminals
mpirun -np 2 xterm -e ./libtool --mode=execute gdb ./xbeach
