[Gmat-developers] [HOWTO] Problem with GMAT Installation under UBUNTU 9.10

[Nicola De Quattro]

Hi,
Could you please help me giving a piece of advice or a howto to build
GMAT under GNU/Linux? The most of documentation I've found is for Windows...

Thank you

Nicola

Hi, Nicola.

The GMAT team doesn't actually use the mailing lists at SourceForge
anymore. Let's move this discussion onto the GMAT developer's forum so
that other people building on Linux can see the procedure. The
developer's forum is accessed at this link:

http://gmat.ed-pages.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3

The main forum index can be found here:

http://gmat.ed-pages.com/forum

You can find GNU/Linux build instructions on the GMAT wiki at this link:

http://gmat.ed-pages.com/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Building+on+Linux

(The main wiki page is http://gmat.ed-pages.com/wiki/tiki-index.php; the
build instructions are found on the Developer's Resources link, which
can be accessed from that page.)

The Linux build instructions on the wiki are a bit dated. I'm currently
building on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) 64-bit, and have cleaned up a
number of issues related to using the newer GCC that ships with Karmic.
Those issues are fixed in the development branch of the code, but not
yet migrated into the trunk code.

If this information doesn't help, I'll need to know a few things about
your setup before I can help further:

* What distribution of Linux are you using? I think you said Ubuntu
9.10 in your message header, but I need to know if you're using
the 32-bit or the 64-bit release.
* How did you get wxWidgets? GMAT isn't UNICODE compatible (yet!),
and most of the pre-built wx libraries are built with UNICODE
enabled. You'll probably want to build wxWidgets yourself.
* What compiler are you using? If you're using gcc 4.4 (the default
under Karmic) and either the trunk code from SourceForge or the
tarball of the September 2008 release, you'll find that there are
build errors because the GCC coders rearranged the header files in
the compiler collection. In fact, they've done that twice since
the September 2008 release, and both times I've needed to go in
and fix the header calls.


Let's move this discussion onto the development forum. (I'm happy to put
it there, but want your permission before placing your posts there.) If
you'd like, you can just copy this message there and reply to it. I'll
do what I can to help you get GMAT building on your system.
