Autotools Unix Test and Installation

Deprecated 2012-12-26
This install procedure has been deprecated and no improvements have been added since 2012. For example, this install procedure will not detect any of the c++11 extensions. You should use the cmake instructions to install CppAD.

Distribution Directory
You must first obtain a copy of the CppAD distribution directory using the download instructions. We refer to the corresponding distribution directory as dist_dir .

Build Directory
Create the directory dist_dir/build , which will be referred to as the build directory below.

Configure
Execute the following command in the build directory:
./configure                                  \
     --prefix=prefix_dir                    \
     --with-Documentation                     \
     --with-testvector                      \
     MAX_NUM_THREADS=max_num_threads         \
     CXX_FLAGS=cxx_flags                     \
     OPENMP_FLAGS=openmp_flags               \
     POSTFIX_DIR=postfix_dir                 \
     ADOLC_DIR=adolc_dir                     \
     BOOST_DIR=boost_dir                     \
     EIGEN_DIR=eigen_dir                     \
     FADBAD_DIR=fadbad_dir                   \
     SADADO_DIR=sacado_dir                   \
     IPOPT_DIR=ipopt_dir                     \
     TAPE_ADDR_TYPE=tape_addr_type           \
     TAPE_ID_TYPE=tape_id_type
 where only the configure line need appear; i.e., the entries in all of the other lines are optional. The text in italic above is replaced values that you choose (see discussion below).

make
The following command, in the build directory, copies the file configure.hpp from the build to the source directory and then builds some object libraries that are used by the tests:
     make
Examples and Tests
Once you have executed the make command, you can run the correctness and speed tests. The following command will build and run all the correctness and speed tests. 
 
     make test

Profiling CppAD
The CppAD derivative speed tests mentioned above can be profiled. You can test that the results computed during this profiling are correct by executing the following commands starting in the build directory:
     cd speed/profile
     make test
 After executing make test, you can run a profile speed test by executing the command
     ./speed_profile test seed option_list
 see speed_main for the meaning of the command line arguments to this program. After you have run a profiling speed test, you can then obtain the profiling results with
     gprof -b speed_profile
 In C++, template parameters and argument types become part of a routines's name. This can make the gprof output hard to read (the routine names can be very long). You can remove the template parameters and argument types from the routine names by executing the following command 
 
     gprof -b speed_profile | sed -f gprof.sed

prefix_dir
The default value for prefix directory is $HOME i.e., by default the CppAD include files will install below $HOME. If you want to install elsewhere, you will have to use this option. As an example of using the --prefix=prefix_dir option, if you specify 
 
     ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
the CppAD include files will be installed in the directory
     /usr/local/include/cppad
 If --with-Documentation is specified, the CppAD documentation files will be installed in the directory
     /usr/local/share/doc/cppad-yyyymmdd
 where yyyymmdd is the year, month, and day corresponding to the version of CppAD.

--with-Documentation
If the command line argument --with-Documentation is specified, the CppAD documentation HTML and XML files are copied to the directory
     prefix_dir/share/doc/postfix_dir/cppad-yyyymmdd
 (see postfix_dir ). The top of the CppAD HTML documentation tree (with mathematics displayed as LaTex command) will be located at
     prefix_dir/share/doc/postfix_dir/cppad-yyyymmdd/cppad.htm
--with-testvector
The CPPAD_TESTVECTOR template class is used for many of the CppAD examples and tests. The default for this template class is CppAD::vector<Scalar> . If one, and only one, of the following command line arguments is specified: 
 
     --with-stdvector
     --with-boostvector
     --with-eigenvector
the corresponding of the following template classes is used
     std::vector<Scalar>
     boost::numeric::ublas::vector<Scalar>
     Eigen::matrix<Scalar, Eigen::Dynamic, 1>
 See also, boost_dir and eigen_dir .

max_num_threads
this specifies the value for the default value for the preprocessor symbol CPPAD_MAX_NUM_THREADS . It must be greater than or equal to four; i.e., max_num_threads >= 4 .

cxx_flags
If the command line argument CompilerFlags is present, it specifies compiler flags. For example,
     CXX_FLAGS="-Wall -ansi"
 would specify that warning flags -Wall and -ansi should be included in all the C++ compile commands. The error and warning flags chosen must be valid options for the C++ compiler. The default value for CompilerFlags is the empty string.

openmp_flags
If the command line argument OpenmpFlags is present, it specifies the necessary flags so that the compiler will properly interpret OpenMP directives. For example, when using the GNU g++ compiler, the following setting includes the OpenMP tests:
     OPENMP_FLAGS=-fopenmp
 If you specify configure command, the CppAD OpenMP correctness and speed tests will be built; see threading multi-threading tests.

postfix_dir
By default, the postfix directory is empty; i.e., there is no postfix directory. As an example of using the POSTFIX_DIR=postfix_dir option, if you specify 
 
     ./configure --prefix=/usr/local POSTFIX_DIR=coin
the CppAD include files will be installed in the directory
     /usr/local/include/coin/cppad
 If --with-Documentation is specified, the CppAD documentation files will be installed in the directory
     /usr/local/share/doc/coin/cppad-yyyymmdd
adolc_dir
If you have ADOL-C installed on your system, you can specify a value for adolc_dir in the configure command line. The value of adolc_dir must be such that
     adolc_dir/include/adolc/adouble.h
 is a valid way to reference adouble.h. In this case, you can run the Adolc speed correctness tests by executing the following commands starting in the build directory:
     cd speed/adolc
     make test
 After executing make test, you can run an Adolc speed tests by executing the command ./adolc; see speed_main for the meaning of the command line options to this program. Note that these speed tests assume Adolc has been configure with its sparse matrix computations enabled using
     --with-colpack=colpack_dir
Linux
If you are using Linux, you will have to add adolc_dir/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. For example, if you use the bash shell to run your programs, you could include
     LD_LIBRARY_PATH=adolc_dir/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
     export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 in your $HOME/.bash_profile file.

Cygwin
If you are using Cygwin, you will have to add to following lines to the file .bash_profile in your home directory:
     PATH=adolc_dir/bin:${PATH}
     export PATH
 in order for Adolc to run properly. If adolc_dir begins with a disk specification, you must use the Cygwin format for the disk specification. For example, if d:/adolc_base is the proper directory, /cygdrive/d/adolc_base should be used for adolc_dir .

boost_dir
If the command line argument
     BOOST_DIR=boost_dir
 is present, it must be such that files
     boost_dir/include/boost/numeric/ublas/vector.hpp
     boost_dir/include/boost/thread.hpp
 are present. In this case, these files will be used by CppAD. See also, --with-boostvector

eigen_dir
If you have Eigen installed on your system, you can specify a value for eigen_dir . It must be such that
     eigen_dir/include/Eigen/Core
 is a valid include file. In this case CppAD will compile and test the Eigen examples; e.g., eigen_array.cpp . See also, --with-eigenvector

fadbad_dir
If you have Fadbad 2.1 installed on your system, you can specify a value for fadbad_dir . It must be such that
     fadbad_dir/include/FADBAD++/badiff.h
 is a valid reference to badiff.h. In this case, you can run the Fadbad speed correctness tests by executing the following commands starting in the build directory:
     cd speed/fadbad
     make test
 After executing make test, you can run a Fadbad speed tests by executing the command ./fadbad; see speed_main for the meaning of the command line options to this program.

ipopt_dir
If you have Ipopt installed on your system, you can specify a value for ipopt_dir . It must be such that
     ipopt_dir/include/coin/IpIpoptApplication.hpp
 is a valid reference to IpIpoptApplication.hpp. In this case, the CppAD interface to Ipopt examples can be built and tested by executing the following commands starting in the build directory:
     make
     #
     cd cppad_ipopt/example
     make test
     #
     cd ../test
     make test
     #
     cd ../speed
     make test
 Once this has been done, you can execute the program ./speed in the build/cppad_ipopt/speed directory; see ipopt_ode_speed.cpp .

sacado_dir
If you have Sacado installed on your system, you can specify a value for sacado_dir . It must be such that
     sacado_dir/include/Sacado.hpp
 is a valid reference to Sacado.hpp. In this case, you can run the Sacado speed correctness tests by executing the following commands starting in the build directory:
     cd speed/sacado
     make test
 After executing make test, you can run a Sacado speed tests by executing the command ./sacado; see speed_main for the meaning of the command line options to this program.

tape_addr_type
If the command line argument tape_addr_type is present, it specifies the type used for address in the AD recordings (tapes). The valid values for this argument are unsigned short int, unsigned int, size_t. The smaller the value of sizeof(tape_addr_type) , the less memory is used. On the other hand, the value
     std::numeric_limits<tape_addr_type>::max()
 must be larger than any of the following: size_op , size_op_arg , size_par , size_par , size_par .

tape_id_type
If the command line argument tape_id_type is present, it specifies the type used for identifying tapes. The valid values for this argument are unsigned short int, unsigned int, size_t. The smaller the value of sizeof(tape_id_type) , the less memory is used. On the other hand, the value
     std::numeric_limits<tape_id_type>::max()
 must be larger than the maximum number of tapes per thread times max_num_threads .

make install
Once you are satisfied that the tests are giving correct results, you can install CppAD into easy to use directories by executing the command 
 
     make install
This will install CppAD in the location specified by prefix_dir . You must have permission to write in the prefix_dir directory to execute this command. You may optionally specify a destination directory for the install; i.e.,
     make install DESTDIR=DestinationDirectory
