Building the Science Processing Code

These instructions are for building the science processing software used within OBPG. They are provided here with NO SUPPORT. For fully supported code, please use the binaries distributed with SeaDAS.

OCSSW_bash.env (OCSSW.env for csh) is provided for setting needed environment variables to build the software.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • gcc (5 or higher)
  • g++ (matching gcc version)
  • gfortran (matching gcc version)
  • zlib
  • bash
  • csh
  • unzip
  • cmake
  • bison
  • flex
  • libX11-devel

additional known OS-specific requirements:

  • Ubuntu 16.04

    • zlib1g-dev

  • CentOS 7

  • Mac:

    • libX11 can be installed by XQuartz

Building the code

CMake is used for the build system with a CMakeLists.txt file in each directory.

Here are the steps needed to build OCSSW using bash, cmake and make:

  1. Install Ubuntu 16.04

  2. Install cmake, Git and other libs

    apt install cmake git gcc-9 gfortran-9 tcsh
apr install bison flex zlib1g-dev libx11-dev

  3. Download install_ocssw and manifest.py to your home directory.

  4. Install OCSSW binaries, benchmark and source

    cd $HOME
chmod +x install_ocssw
./install_ocssw -i ocssw -t V2020.2 --benchmark --src

  5. Setup environment variables (usually in ~/.bashrc), e.g.:

    export CC=gcc-9
export CXX=g++-9
export FC=gfortran-9
export OCSSWROOT=~/ocssw
source $OCSSWROOT/OCSSW_bash.env

  6. Build the third party libraries

    cd $OCSSWROOT/opt
rm -rf bin include lib share
cd src
./BuildIt.py

  7. Create build directory and run cmake CMake allows for out-of-source-tree builds. Make a directory for this and run cmake within it, e.g.:

    cd $OCSSWROOT/ocssw-src
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

    Note: There are a few options you can give to cmake to control what extra software is built:_

    • BUILD_HISTORICAL - Build the historical code (e.g. old seawifs binaries no longer needed)
    • BUILD_MISC - Build non-essential code
    • BUILD_AHMAD_FRASER - Build the AF radiative transfer code
    • BUILD_ALL - Build ALL the code

The “cmake ..” command is run like this to use one or more of these options:

```cmake .. -DBUILD_HISTORICAL=ON -DBUILD_MISC=ON```

Please be aware that not all the code required for these options
is available in the externally accessible source repository
  1. Build and install the OCSSW binaries cd $OCSSWROOT/ocssw-src/build export OCSSW_DEBUG=1 #could be set to 0 if not debugging make -j 20 install

Test the Shiny New Binaries

  • Change directories to the benchmark directory
    cd $OCSSWROOT/benchmark
  • Run the benchmark script:
    ./seadas_benchmark.bash
