Building from scratch

  • First create a directory to hold salome tarball release:

mkdir -p $HOME/Salome_Packages

  • Prepare the archives directory in SALOME-${VERSION}/ARCHIVES that contains the sources tarballs of the pre-requisites

  • Check or create a new application in PROJECT/applications, see for instance SALOME-8.3.0.pyconf

  • Launch the building of salome

./build_salome_new.sh -v $VERSION -p \$DIST -m [-d]

where -m enable MPI support and -d is used for debugging purposes.

The actual build process involves:

  • the creation of a temporary docker image to hold the salomeTools suite that perform the installation. The prerequisites are:

    • pyconf file describing the requested configuration

    • directory SALOME_$VERSION: holding the archive tarball of the dependencies,

  • The Salome tarball is written into $HOME/Salome_Packages directory

  • the creation of a docker image holding VERSION of Salome plus a graphic driver.

Only drive for nvidia is installed

The image can be pushed to feelpp/salome dockerhub.

docker login
docker tag ...
docker push

On Windows 10 Pro you have to:

  • install MobaXterm to get a X11 server,

  • install WSL,

  • install Debian/Stretch from Windows Store,

To install {salome} in WSL Debian/Stretch: * start Debian * setup lncmi debian repository * install {salome} binary for Debian/Stretch in Debian WSL.

Then to run {salome}:

  • start MobaXterm to get X11 up and running

  • launch Debian from menu or by typing debian.exe in a powershell

  • from the "debian" terminal, run {salome}

Note that you may have to add some missing packages to get salome working.
