- C compiler, C++ compiler, make and friends. SimGrid is rather
demanding on the compiler. We use the C++11 standard, and older
compilers tend to fail on us. It seems that g++ 5.0 or higher is
- required nowadays.
+ required nowadays (because of boost).
- perl (but you may try to go without it)
- We use cmake to configure our compilation
([download page](http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html)).
You need cmake version 2.8.8 or higher. You may want to use ccmake
for a graphical interface over cmake.
- boost:
+ - Debian / Ubuntu: `apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-context-dev`
- Max OS X: with [fink](http://www.finkproject.org/): `fink install boost1.53.nopython`,
or with homebrew: `brew install boost`
- - Debian / Ubuntu: `apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-context-dev`
- Java (if you want to build the Java bindings):
+ - Debian / Ubuntu: `apt-get install default-jdk libgcj16-dev`
- Mac OS X or Windows: Grab a [full JDK](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads)
- - Debian / Ubuntu: `apt-get install default-jdk`
+ - Lua (if you want to build with lua enabled):
+ - Debian / Ubuntu: `apt-get install liblua5.3-dev lua5.3`
+ - Windows: choco install lua53
+ - From the source: you need to patch the sources to build dynamic libraries
+ - [Download lua 5.3](http://www.lua.org/download.html). SimGrid
+ won't work with lua 5.2 as lua breaks the compatibility.
+ - Open the archive: `tar xvfz lua-5.3.*.tar.gz`
+ - Enter the directory: `cd lua-5.3*`
+ - Patch the sources: `patch -p1 < /path/to/simgrid/...../tools/lualib.patch`
+ - Build and install lua: `make linux && sudo make install`
