Current state

✅ CMake: (requires patch for VTK) https://pastebin.com/eAtVXLds

❌ build:

✅ boost: package version (1.51) is too old, newer version (1.68) is required
✅ CGAL: gcc-10 is required
❌ FlowEngine: https://pastebin.com/XTeaQHum

Explanation

The new file cMake/GetDistro.cmake contains the GET_DISTRO function that can extract the name and the version of the current linux distribution, e.g. "centos7", "ubuntu20.04".

FUNCTION(GET_DISTRO ARG_DISTRO_INFO)
        EXECUTE_PROCESS (
                COMMAND bash -c "awk -F= '/^ID=/{print $2}' /etc/os-release | tr -d '\n' | tr -d '\"'"
                OUTPUT_VARIABLE DISTRO_ID
        )

        EXECUTE_PROCESS (
                COMMAND bash -c "awk -F= '/^VERSION_ID=/{print $2}' /etc/os-release | tr -d '\n' | tr -d '\"'"
                OUTPUT_VARIABLE DISTRO_VERSION
        )

        SET(${ARG_DISTRO_INFO} ${DISTRO_ID}${DISTRO_VERSION} PARENT_SCOPE)
ENDFUNCTION()

The required patch that allows cmake to identify the "vtk" libraries.

Compilation

We need /usr/lib64/openmpi/bin to be in the PATH and we want to use gcc-10.

Environment setup

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib64/openmpi/bin
export BOOST_ROOT=/opt/boost
export BOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/opt/boost/include
export BOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/opt/boost/lib
source /opt/rh/devtoolset-10/enable

Compilation

Compilation based on https://yade-dem.org/doc/installation.html#compilation

cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/opt/boost \
 -DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/opt/boost/include \
 -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/opt/boost/lib \
 -DENABLE_USEFUL_ERRORS=OFF \
 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install ../trunk

Packages

Older post on this topic: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/643703

Debian packages: https://packages.debian.org/

CentOS packages: https://centos.pkgs.org/

You need to run yum install epel-release in order to install epel packages.

You need to run yum install centos-release-scl in order to install scl packages.

gcc-10 is required, see g++.

Required packages: wget curl qt5*

Package status:

? - not sure if needed
❌ - error at install
✅? - installed, but not sure if needed / working
✅❌ - installed, but problem at compilation / cmake error

boost

Required patch which must be aplied after the bootstrap.sh was run. The pach enables boost to pick up the right version of python. The include directory was obtained by running /usr/local/bin/python3.6m-config --includes.
