CMake

In software development, cmake is a cross-platform, open-source configuration and build system. A file called CMakeLists.txt specifies how to derive the target program from each of its dependencies. It combines the normal build toolchain - which consists of the autotools, configure script and make under Unix/Linux - in a single portable way.

Hazelhen special

If your program shall be build for the compute nodes there is a special cmake module which has to be used instead of the system one.

module load tools/cmake

Then create a file "toolchain.cmake" with the following content:

File: toolchain.cmake

SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Hazelhen)
SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER       cc)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER     CC)
SET(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER ftn)

To build your program call cmake using this toolchain:

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path>/toolchain.cmake
