Building TELEMAC-MASCARET on Windows

This repository provides a batch script and configuration files to build TELEMAC-MASCARET on Windows using Mingw-w64.

The build includes the following dependencies:

• MED (requires HDF5): add support for the MED file format.
• MPI: enable runtime parallelism, using the latest implementation of Microsoft MPI. Also requires:
  • METIS: used for partioning the mesh during a parallel run.
• MUMPS: parallel direct solver which is only used by ARTEMIS. Also requires:
  • MPI
  • OpenBLAS (includes LAPACK)
  • ScaLAPACK
• AED2: activate more processes in WAQTEL.
• GOTM: allow the use of the General Ocean Turbulence Model in TELEMAC-3D.

Prerequisites:

• Git: download it from gitforwindows.org and install it with the LFS extension.
• CMake: install the latest 64 bits version available from cmake.org, and ensure that CMake bin directory is added to your PATH environment variable.
  Note: to install CMake without administrator rights, you need to download and extract the zip file and set your PATH manually.
• Mingw-w64: download the latest version from winlibs and extract it to C:\.
  Note: if you don't install Mingw-w64 in C:\, you will need to add its bin directory to your PATH.
• Python: download and install the 3.10 64-bit version from python.org.
  Note: to install Python without administrator rights, you must uncheck the option Use admin privileges when installing py.exe.

Optional: proxy configuration

If your computer is behind a proxy, you must also set the proxy environment variables, as in the example below:

C:\>set http_proxy=http://vip-users.proxy.edf.fr:3131
C:\>set https_proxy=http://vip-users.proxy.edf.fr:3131

Building and installing TELEMAC-MASCARET

Once all software prerequisites have been installed and the proxy environment variables have been defined if necessary, TELEMAC-MASCARET can be built using the provided batch file. The only mandatory argument is the installation path, e.g., to install TELEMAC-MASCARET in C:\telemac:

C:\wintel>build-telemac C:\telemac

This will download , build and install a full setup of the current development version of TELEMAC-MASCARET (i.e. the main branch) in the provided folder, which is C:\telemac in this example.

To build a specific version, you need to specify it using the /v switch, e.g:

C:\wintel>build-telemac C:\telemac /v V8P4

For now, the only supported stable version is V8P4.

If the compilation went fine, the last message you will get should be My work is done.
