Preliminaries: Components needed to install the Kratos

Last visit for the links: 28 March 2010
Note that this is a specific case of possible installation of Kratos in a 64 bits computer under Windows 7, and all the different components are not compulsory for the successful use of Kratos. You can select other equivalent C++ compilers, svn, etc. or other versions of those we are presenting.
Two examples of organization of files are provided. Of course, you should select only one of them.

C++ compiler. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008

For developers using Windows, we recommend to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or 2008. If you are working with a 64 bits machine, be sure that you include the 64 bits tools in your MSVS installation.

SVN

It is recommended to use RapidSVN
The latest released version: 0.12, October 2009, RapidSVN-0.12.0-8051.exe
Download and run the file:
RapidSVN.1.jpgRapidSVN.2.jpg

Kratos Source Code

By using RapidSVN, the kratos source files can be downloaded by taking the following steps:
  • Go to Repository->Checkout and enter the following path to the kratos repository:
        http://kratos.cimne.upc.es/svn/kratos/
RapidSVN.3.jpgRapidSVN.4.jpg
  • Choose a working directory where module: kratos will be created in your pc
    • example A: "C:\Kratos2010"
    • example B: "D:\Kratos2010"
  • "recursive" option have to be signed
  • this will create a folder "C:\Kratos2010\kratos" or "D:\Kratos2010\kratos" with all the required Kratos files.

Pre and Post Processor. GiD

We use GiD as our favourite pre and post-processor.
Download and install the latest version of GiD. Here we use the latest beta version for 64 bits (GiD9.2.9b-win-x64-Install.exe)
GiDInstall.1.jpgGiDInstall.2.jpg
GiDInstall.3.jpgGiDInstall.4.jpg
You should have to install the GiDpost External Library too (latest version, March 2010, ::ftp://gid.cimne.upc.es/pub/gid/Tools/gidpost1.70.zip).
Unzip the file in your kratos external libraries.
  • example A: "C:\Kratos2010\kratos\external_libraries\gidpost" (already existing folder, the one by default)
  • example B: "D:\external_libraries\gidpost" (independent folder outside kratos' directory tree)
To build the GiD postprocess libray:
  • Open a DOS console (from Start - Programs - Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 - Visual Studio Tools - System Console
  • Run vcvarsall.bat
GiDInstall.5.jpg
GiDInstall.6.jpg
  • Change to the VC Common7\Tools directory (cd ..; cd Common7; cd Tools)
  • Run vcvars32.bat
GiDInstall.7.jpg
  • change to the "gidpost\win" directory (remember, "C:\Kratos2010\kratos\external_libraries\gidpost" or "D:\external_libraries\gidpost")
  • And depending on the version you want to compile (probably both of them) invoke:
          nmake -f Makefile.vc CFG="Release"
          nmake -f Makefile.vc CFG="Debug"
GiDInstall.9.jpg
GiDInstall.8.jpg
  • This will create two new folders "gidpost\win\Debug" and "gidpost\win\Release" with the file gidpost.lib for the Debug or Release compilation
GiDInstall.10.jpg
  • Very important! Finally and only if you have selected a different directory to the default one (example B), copy the existing Jamfile file from the default folder (D:\Kratos2010\kratos\external_libraries\gidpost) to the one you are using for the libraries (D:\external_libraries\gidpost)

Scripting Language Python. Python(x,y)

Python can be downloaded from here. At this moment the python 2.6 is supported.
Before installing Python, consider if you want to use it to plot graphics. In that case, you should check packages (python(x,y), for example) which include matplotlib or other equivalent graphic tools.
For this example, we will describe the full package Python(x,y) installation.
Download and run the installation file from http://www.pythonxy.com/ (latest version 2.6.2.0, March 2010, 426 MB, http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/devel/pythonxy/Python(x,y)-2.6.2.0.exe)
Python xy Install.1.jpg
Everything by default, but it is recommended to:
  • select installation for all the users
  • select the destination folders (to check the full installation process)
  • select all the components to be installed
  • folders:
    • example A:
general destination: C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy
python(x,y) documentation: C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\doc
python kernel: C:\Python26
eclipse: C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\eclipse
eclipse workspace: C:\Documents\Python
mingw: C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\mingw
    • example B:
general destination: D:\pythonxy
python(x,y) documentation: D:\pythonxy\doc
python kernel: D:\Python26
eclipse: D:\pythonxy\eclipse
eclipse workspace: D:\Simulations\Python
mingw: D:\pythonxy\mingw
Python xy Install.2.jpgPython xy Install.3.jpgPython xy Install.4.jpg
Python xy Install.5.jpgPython xy Install.6.jpgPython xy Install.7.jpg
Python xy Install.8.jpgPython xy Install.9.jpgPython xy Install.10.jpg
Python xy Install.11.jpg
After the installation, you should check that Python has created a folder called "C:\Python26\libs" or "D:\Python26\libs".

Boost Library

Kratos uses the Boost library.
Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.

Step1 - Install the building system

The compilation of both the Kratos and the Boost-library is performed using bjam which is a portable "make" like system and manages the compilation. Bjam has configuration files for many different compilers. This configuration files are contained in the "boost-build".
The following steps are needed to install the build system:
  • Downlodad precompiled bjam for windows ((http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/index.html, latest version 2007) and unzip it in the external libraries folder: "C:\Kratos2010\kratos\external_libraries\boost\boost-build" or "D:\external_libraries\boost\boost-build").
  • Open a DOS console and change to the boost-build\jam_src folder
  • Run build.bat
Boost-Build Install.1.jpg
Boost-Build Install.2.jpg
  • A new folder bin.ntx86 will have been created with a bjam.exe file in it.
  • Copy the bjam.exe in the kratos root ("C:\Kratos2010\kratos\external_libraries\boost\boost-build\jam_src\bin.ntx86" to "C:\Kratos2010\kratos", in the example A; "D:\external_libraries\boost\boost-build\jam_src\bin.ntx86" to "D:\Kratos2010\kratos", in the example B;)

Step2 - Install the boost library

You can install and build manually the boost library or you can directly use an installer. As said in the boost webpage: "The easiest way to get a copy of Boost is to use an installer. The Boost website version of this Getting Started guide will have undated information on installers as they become available, or see Boost downloads or the installer provided by BoostPro Computing. We especially recommend using an installer if you use Microsoft Visual Studio, because the installer can download and install precompiled library binaries, saving you the trouble of building them yourself."
Download and run BoostPro Installer (latest version 1.42.0, 190K, boost_1_42_setup.exe, March 2010). You should register to freely download the file.
  • select Visual C++ 9.0 (Microsoft Visual Studio 2008) and all the variants
BoostInstall.1.jpgBoostInstall.2.jpg
  • select all the components for VC9.0
BoostInstall.3.jpgBoostInstall.4.jpg
  • select "C:\Kratos2010\kratos\external_libraries\boost\boost_1_42" (example A) or "D:\external_libraries\boost\boost_1_42" (example B) as Destination Folder
BoostInstall.6.jpgBoostInstall.9.jpg
BoostInstall.7.jpgBoostInstall.8.jpg
  • check that the following specific folders have been created: \external_libraries\boost\boost_1_42\lib and \external_libraries\boost\boost_1_42\bin
BoostInstall.10.jpgBoostInstall.11.jpg

Step3 - Environment variables

  • Check your environment variables (Control Panel->System and Security->System->Advanced System Settings)
Boost-Build Install.3.jpg
  • Define the following variable:
    • example A: BOOST_BUILD_PATH = C:\Kratos2010\kratos\external_libraries\boost\boost-build
    • example B: BOOST_BUILD_PATH = D:\external_libraries\boost\boost-build
Boost-Build Install.4.jpgBoost-Build Install.5.jpg
  • check your path. In this moment, you probably have got something like (example A):
         %CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Python26;C:\Python26\DLLs;C:\Python26\Scripts;C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4;C:\Python26\gnuplot\bin;C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\vtk;C:\Python26\OpenCV\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\console;C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\SciTE-2.01;C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\mingw\bin
  • you should add the following boost directories (\external_libraries\boost\boost_1_42; \external_libraries\boost\boost_1_42\lib; \kratos\external_libraries\boost\boost_1_42\bin; \external_libraries\boost\boost-build)
         %CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Python26;C:\Python26\DLLs;C:\Python26\Scripts;C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4;C:\Python26\gnuplot\bin;C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\vtk;C:\Python26\OpenCV\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\console;C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\SciTE-2.01;C:\Program Files (x86)\pythonxy\mingw\bin;C:\Kratos2010\kratos\external_libraries\boost\boost_1_42; C:\Kratos2010\kratos\external_libraries\boost\boost_1_42\lib; C:\Kratos2010\kratos\external_libraries\boost\boost_1_42\bin; C:\Kratos2010\kratos\external_libraries\boost\boost-build

Compiling Kratos

Customize Kratos Jamroot, the Kratos' main guide to compile

Modify jamroot.1.jpg
  • In the Kratos root folder ("C:\Kratos2010\kratos" or "D:\kratos") copy the Common_Jamroot to Jamroot and then open it with a text editor: select and customize the parts marked as WINDOWS INSTALLATION, as follows (parts in red bold are those that should be modified, parts in green bold are those that probably shouldn't need be modified, but you have to take care of them):
    • example A (C:\Kratos2010\kratos; C:\Kratos2010\kratos\external_libraries)
          using gcc ;
          using intel : : : <cxxflags>"-fPIC -ansi -funroll-loops -cxxlib-gcc -openmp -wd654 -wd10010" <cflags>"-fPIC -funroll-loops -cxxlib-gcc -openmp -wd654 -wd10010" ;

Creation of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Kratos Project

  • Open your MS Visual Studio
MSVS2008 Kratos Project.1.jpg
  • To create the Kratos Project, select: Visual Studio - New Project - General - Makefile Project
    • Name: any name you want, but avoid spaces or unusual characters, for example you can use KratosIDE2010
    • Location: your kratos main folder ("C:\Kratos2010\kratos" or "D:\Kratos2010\kratos")
    • Be sure that the "create directory for solution" is UNMARKED
MSVS2008 Kratos Project.2.jpg
  • Select Debug Configuration Settings (the -jN options, use N as the number of processors)
    • Build command line: bjam toolset=msvc threading=multi debug –j2
    • Clean command line: bjam toolset=msvc threading=multi debug clean –j2
    • Rebuild command line: bjam toolset=msvc threading=multi debug -a –j2
    • Delete the name of the .exe file
MSVS2008 Kratos Project.3.jpgMSVS2008 Kratos Project.4.jpg
  • Select Release Configuration Settings
    • The "Same as debug configuration" option should be unmarked
    • Build command line: bjam toolset=msvc threading=multi release –j2
    • Clean command line: bjam toolset=msvc threading=multi release clean –j2
    • Rebuild command line: bjam toolset=msvc threading=multi release -a –j2
    • Delete the name of the .exe file
MSVS2008 Kratos Project.5.jpg
  • Click Finish
MSVS2008 Kratos Project.6.jpg
  • Now close the MS Visual Studio and check if a new folder has been created (probably at "C:\Kratos2010\kratos\KratosIDE2010" or "D:\Kratos2010\kratos\KratosIDE2010"). This folder is not any longer necessary, so you can copy all the files in it to your Kratos root ("C:\Kratos2010\kratos" or "D:\Kratos2010\kratos") and delete it. This operation is not strictly necessary.
  • Open again your MS Visual Studio 2008, and open the project KratosIDE2010 from the kratos root.
  • Check the project properties:
MSVS2008 Kratos Project.7.jpg
  • It should be like:
MSVS2008 Kratos Project.8.jpgMSVS2008 Kratos Project.9.jpg
  • Considering that Kratos works as a library, the program to execute the code is python, so in the Command field you have to indicate the python.exe file ("C:\Python26\python.exe" or "D:\Python26\python.exe"). The Command Arguments and Working Directory will be defined with the specific application, as we will see when we check the whole installation process.

  • The NMake window for the Debug and Release options contains what we have already defined when we created the kratos project.

The installation process has finished.

First compilation and typical errors

  • Please, select Build - Build Solution
MSVS2008 Compile Kratos.1.jpg
  • Patience... due to the parallel development for Linux and Windows, you may find errors such as:
Error	91	error C2664: 'GiD_BeginResult' : cannot convert parameter 6 from 'const char *' to 'char *'	c:\Kratos2010\kratos\applications\structural_application\custom_utilities\custom_gid_io.h	195
en the following files custom_gid_io.h, edgedbased_gid_io.h, twofluid_gid_io.h, gid_mesh_container.h, gid_gauss_point_container.h, pfem_gid_io.h

  • For each file,it is enough to make a replacement: Edit – Find and Replace – Quick Replace
MSVS2008 Compile Kratos.3.jpg
  • Find what: const char * Replace with: char *

  • Other typical error in Windows is:
Error	57	fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/times.h': No such file or directory	c:\Kratos2010\kratos\applications\ExternalSolversApplication\custom_external_libraries\SuperLU_3.0\SRC\superlu_timer.c	27
  • This is because the SuperLU library (developed in the External Solvers Application) has been developed only for Linux. Therefore, this application should be removed from the Windows compilation.
  • Open the Jamroot file again and add a comment character to the ExternalSolversApplication. The part to modify is:
