Installing NGSolve as Netgen Add-On

To install NGSolve together with Netgen, you have to obtain first both packages from www.sfb013.uni-linz.ac.at/$\sim$joachim/netgen. It is recommended to use CVS checkout:

setenv CVS_RSH ssh
cvs -d :ext:netgen@thor.sfb013.uni-linz.ac.at:/cvs/netgen co netgen

This should give you the directory tree netgen. After that, change into netgen, and checkout ngsolve:

cvs -d :ext:netgen@thor.sfb013.uni-linz.ac.at:/cvs/netgen co ngsolve

You have to change a few files to compile and initialize the NGSolve module:

• File netgen/Makefile:
  Make sure that the line

  appngs =  lib/$(MACHINE)/*.o -lngsolvebasic
  

  is commented in (currently line 63). This will link the necessary object and library files.

  Comment in the line (currently line 91)

  	cd ngsolve; $(MAKE);
  

  to compile the NGSolve package.

• File netgen/ngtcl/ngappinit: Make sure that

  #define NGSOLVE
  

  is commented in (currently line 232).

After that, you compile Netgen/NGSolve as you compile Netgen:

> cd netgen
> setenv MACHINE LINUX
> make

The make includes the machine dependent makefile libsrc/makefile.mach.$(MACHINE). Please set MACHINE to the environment most similar to yours.

This should give you the binary ng.
