\chapter{Building LAM/MPI}

This chapter provides instructions on building both LAM/MPI and the
examples that are part of the LAM distribution.  In general, this step
is both the easiest and longest phase of the installation process.
This step is best accompanied by a trip to the coffee maker -- even on
a modern machine it can take well over 15 minutes.

\section{Building LAM}

Once the configuration step has completed, build LAM by doing:

\lstset{style=lam-cmdline}
\begin{lstlisting}
shell$ make
\end{lstlisting}
% stupid emacs mode: $
%
in the top level LAM directory. This will build the LAM binaries and
libraries within the distribution source tree.  Once they have
compiled properly, you can install them with:

\lstset{style=lam-cmdline}
\begin{lstlisting}
shell$ make install
\end{lstlisting}
% stupid emacs mode: $
%
\cmd{make} is capable of ``chaining'' commands, performing the build
and install in one command.  The following example chains the two
above commands (``\cmd{make all}'' and ``\cmd{make install"}) into
one, but if there is a failure during the build phase, \cmd{make} will
not start the install phase.

\lstset{style=lam-cmdline}
\begin{lstlisting}
shell$ make all install
\end{lstlisting}
% stupid emacs mode: $

\begin{description}
\item[NOTE :] Previous version of LAM included \icmd{make}
  \maketarget{install} in the default \icmd{make}.  {\em This is no
    longer true.}  You {\em must} execute \icmd{make}
  \maketarget{install} to install the LAM executables, libraries, and
  header files to the location specified by the \confflag{prefix}
  option to configure.
\end{description}


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\section{Advanced Building: Alternate Install Directory}

The LAM build system is capable of installing into a directory other
than the one specified by the \confflag{prefix} configure option.  LAM
will not operate properly when installed in the alternate directory.
However, the feature is useful for building binary packages (such as
RPMs or Mac OS X Installer packages) or staging for read-only
filesystems.

The \cmdarg{DESTDIR} flag to \cmd{make} allows LAM to be installed in
a ``prefixed'' location.  If LAM is configured to install in
\file{/usr/local} and the \cmdarg{DESTDIR=/tmp/lam} flag is used to
\cmd{make}, LAM will be installed in \file{/tmp/lam/usr/local}:

\lstset{style=lam-cmdline}
\begin{lstlisting}
shell$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
# ...lots of output...
shell$ make all
# ...lots of output...
shell$ make DESTDIR=/tmp/lam install
# ...lots of output - LAM installed in /tmp/lam/usr/local ...
shell$ export LAMHOME=/tmp/lam/usr/local
# allow testing of LAM while installed in alternate directory
shell$ lamboot boot_schema
# ... usual  LAM testing ...
\end{lstlisting}
% stupid emacs mode: $

LAM will not operate correctly when installed in an alternate
directory to the one specified with the \confflag{prefix} configure
option.  LAM relies on the installation prefix information to search
for various files.  It is possible to ``fix'' LAM's search path by
using the \ienvvar{LAMHOME} environment variable.  It is not
recommended that \envvar{LAMHOME} not be used beyond initial testing
(See Chapter~\ref{sec:postbuild}, page~\pageref{sec:postbuild} for
testing information).

\section{Building the Included Examples}

LAM includes two example packages: general LAM examples and ROMIO
examples.  
%
\changebegin{7.1}
%
Both packages can be build from a single top-level ``\icmd{make}
\maketarget{lamexamples}''.  
%
\changeend{7.1}
%
Note that the examples can {\em only} be built after a successful
\icmd{make} \maketarget{install}, and \$\file{prefix/bin} has been
placed in your \$\var{PATH}.

\changebegin{7.1}
\lstset{style=lam-cmdline}
\begin{lstlisting}
shell$ make lamexamples
\end{lstlisting}
% stupid emacs mode: $
\changeend{7.1}
%
This will do the following (where \var{TOPDIR} is the top-level directory of
the LAM source tree):

\begin{enumerate}
\item Build the LAM examples.  They are located in:

     \file{TOPDIR/examples}

     The \file{examples} directory includes C, C++, and Fortran
     examples.  The C++ and Fortan examples if support for the
     language is built in LAM.

\item If you configured LAM with ROMIO support (i.e., if you did not
     configure with \confflag{without-romio}), the ROMIO examples will be
     built.  See the notes about ROMIO in the RELEASE\_\-NOTES file.
     They are located in:

     \file{TOPDIR/romio/test}
\end{enumerate}

\noindent Additionally, the following commands can be used to build
each of the packages' examples separately (provided that support for
each was compiled in to LAM) from \var{TOPDIR}:

\changebegin{7.1}
\lstset{style=lam-cmdline}
\begin{lstlisting}
shell$ (cd examples; make examples)
shell$ make romio-examples
\end{lstlisting}
% stupid emacs mode: $
\changeend{7.1}
