Build and install in base/install.
What are we building? 1 nest and neuron libraries 2 nest and neuron python wrappers - set PATH and PYTHONPATH (A) 3 nest and neuron plugins - set paths for location of plugins (B)
1 and 2 are done sequentially with the same environment. 3 requires that the environment has been extended to include the PYTHONPATH, PATH etc to reflect the installed software.
Have a build script that takes an argument describing the system that it is to build for. If no argument is passed it should attempt to automatically determine the system.
Load the modules used to build. Load the paths that were set during build. - prepend to start of PATH and PYTHONPATH
Set up the build environment
- modules
- build specific environment variables CRAYPE_LINK_TYPE=dynamic
Set up the execution environment - modules - PATH and PYTHONPATH
systems system specific configurations
build build scripts for each package
plugins path with plugins for each simulator
benchmarks path with benchmarks, each sub-directory contains:
- each path contains the benchmark
- and post processing scripts for packaging up results
Things to consider: - maybe the plugins ought to be in the benchmark path in which they are used?
