Compilation settings

Different predefined rules for compilation can be found in the arch/ folder, for example:

default.arch: The default settings, using GNU gfortran
debug.arch: Debug flags, using GNU gfortran
intel.arch: Using Intel ifort
inteldebug.arch: Debug flags, using Intel ifort

These files set the compiler/linker and compiler flags. You can select the default settings when you create a makefile, for example to use debug flags:

$AMRVAC_DIR/setup.pl -d=2 -arch=debug

You can also edit the resulting makefile by hand later, or specify the compilation settings on the command line:

make ARCH=debug

Adding user libraries

If you make use of external libraries, you can add them to a file local.make. This file will automatically be read (and included) by the AMRVAC makefile. Suppose you want to include a library libhdf5.so (or libhdf5.a) which is in a folder called my/lib/folder, then you could specify:

LIBS += hdf5
LIB_DIRS += my/lib/folder
