<span id="Compiling-Octave-with-64_002dbit-Indexing-1"></span><h3 class="section">E.3 Compiling Octave with 64-bit Indexing</h3>
<p>Note: the following only applies to systems that have 64-bit pointers.
Configuring Octave with <samp>--enable-64</samp> cannot magically make a
32-bit system have a 64-bit address space.
</p>
<p>On 64-bit systems, Octave uses 64-bit integers for indexing arrays
by default. If the configure script determines that your <small>BLAS</small>
library uses 32-bit integers, then operations using the following
libraries are limited to arrays with dimensions that are smaller than
<em>2^{31}</em> elements:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <small>BLAS</small>
</li><li> <small>LAPACK</small>
</li><li> QRUPDATE
</li><li> SuiteSparse
</li><li> <small>ARPACK</small>
</li></ul>
<p>Additionally, the following libraries use <code>int</code> internally, so
maximum problem sizes are always limited:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <small>GLPK</small>
</li><li> Qhull
</li></ul>
<p>Except for <small>GLPK</small> and Qhull, these libraries may also be configured
to use 64-bit integers, but most systems do not provide packages built
this way. If you wish to experiment with large arrays, the following
information may be helpful.
</p>
<p>To determine the integer size of the <small>BLAS</small> library used by Octave, the
following code can be executed:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">clear all;
N = 2^31;
## The following line requires about 8 GB of RAM!
a = b = ones (N, 1, "single");
c = a' * b
</pre></div>
<p>If the <small>BLAS</small> library uses 32-bit integers, an error will be thrown:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">error: integer dimension or index out of range for Fortran
INTEGER type
</pre></div>
<p>Otherwise, if the <small>BLAS</small> library uses 64-bit integers, the result is:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">c = 2^31 = 2147483648
</pre></div>
<p>Note that the test case above usually requires twice the memory, if
<var>a</var> and <var>b</var> are not assigned by <code>a = b = …</code>.
Note further, that the data type <code>single</code> has a precision of
about 23 binary bits. In this particular example no rounding errors
occur.
</p>
<p>The following instructions were tested with the development version of
Octave and GCC 4.3.4 on an x86_64 Debian system and may be out of date
now. Please report any problems or corrections on the Octave bug
tracker.
</p>
<p>The versions listed below are the versions used for testing. If newer
versions of these packages are available, you should try to use them,
although there may be some differences.
</p>
<p>All libraries and header files will be installed in subdirectories of
<code>$prefix64</code> (you must choose the location of this directory).
</p>
<ul>
<li> <small>BLAS</small> and <small>LAPACK</small> (<a href="http://www.netlib.org/lapack">http://www.netlib.org/lapack</a>)
<p>Reference versions for both libraries are included in the reference
<small>LAPACK</small> 3.2.1 distribution from <a href="http://www.netlib.org/">http://www.netlib.org/</a>.
</p>
<ul class="no-bullet">
<li>- Copy the file <samp>make.inc.example</samp> and name it <samp>make.inc</samp>.
The options <samp>-fdefault-integer-8</samp> and <samp>-fPIC</samp> (on 64-bit
CPU) have to be added to the variable <code>OPTS</code> and <code>NOOPT</code>.
</li><li>- Once you have compiled this library make sure that you use it for
compiling Suite Sparse and Octave. In the following we assume that
you installed the <small>LAPACK</small> library as $prefix64/lib/liblapack.a.
</li></ul>
</li><li> QRUPDATE (<a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/qrupdate">https://sourceforge.net/projects/qrupdate</a>)
<p>In the <samp>Makeconf</samp> file:
</p>
<ul class="no-bullet">
<li>- Add <samp>-fdefault-integer-8</samp> to <code>FFLAGS</code>.
</li><li>- Adjust the <small>BLAS</small> and <small>LAPACK</small> variables as needed if your 64-bit
aware <small>BLAS</small> and <small>LAPACK</small> libraries are in a non-standard
location.
</li><li>- Set <code>PREFIX</code> to the top-level directory of your install tree.
</li><li>- Run <code>make solib</code> to make a shared library.
</li><li>- Run <code>make install</code> to install the library.
</li></ul>
</li><li> SuiteSparse (<a href="http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/davis/suitesparse.html">http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/davis/suitesparse.html</a>)
<p>Pass the following options to <code>make</code> to enable 64-bit integers
for <small>BLAS</small> library calls. On 64-bit Windows systems, use
<code>-DLONGBLAS="long long"</code> instead.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">CFLAGS='-DLONGBLAS=long'
CXXFLAGS='-DLONGBLAS=long'
</pre></div>
<p>The SuiteSparse makefiles don’t generate shared libraries. On some
systems, you can generate them by doing something as simple as
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">top=$(pwd)
for f in *.a; do
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
ar vx ../$f
gcc -shared -o ../${f%%.a}.so *.o
cd $top
rm -rf tmp
done
</pre></div>
<p>Other systems may require a different solution.
</p>
</li><li> <small>ARPACK</small> (<a href="https://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/arpack-ng/">https://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/arpack-ng/</a>)
<ul class="no-bullet">
<li>- Add <samp>-fdefault-integer-8</samp> to <code>FFLAGS</code> when running configure.
</li><li>- Run <code>make</code> to build the library.
</li><li>- Run <code>make install</code> to install the library.
</li></ul>
</li><li> ATLAS instead of reference <small>BLAS</small> and <small>LAPACK</small>
<p>Suggestions on how to compile ATLAS would be most welcome.
</p>
</li><li> <small>GLPK</small>
</li><li> Qhull (<a href="http://www.qhull.org">http://www.qhull.org</a>)
<p>Both <small>GLPK</small> and Qhull use <code>int</code> internally so maximum problem
sizes may be limited.
</p>
</li><li> Octave
<p>Octave’s 64-bit index support is activated with the configure option
<samp>--enable-64</samp>.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">./configure \
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$prefix64/lib" \
CPPFLAGS="-I$prefix64/include" LDFLAGS="-L$prefix64/lib" \
--enable-64
</pre></div>
<p>You must ensure that all Fortran sources except those in the
<samp>liboctave/external/ranlib</samp> directory are compiled such that INTEGERS are
8-bytes wide. If you are using gfortran, the configure script should
automatically set the Makefile variable <code><span class="nolinebreak">F77_INTEGER_8_FLAG</span></code><!-- /@w --> to
<samp>-fdefault-integer-8</samp>. If you are using another compiler, you
must set this variable yourself. You should NOT set this flag in
<code>FFLAGS</code>, otherwise the files in <samp>liboctave/external/ranlib</samp> will be
miscompiled.
</p>
</li><li> Other dependencies
<p>Probably nothing special needs to be done for the following
dependencies. If you discover that something does need to be done,
please submit a bug report.
</p>
<ul class="no-bullet">
<li>- pcre
</li><li>- zlib
</li><li>- hdf5
</li><li>- fftw3
</li><li>- cURL
</li><li>- GraphicsMagick++
</li><li>- OpenGL
</li><li>- freetype
</li><li>- fontconfig
</li><li>- fltk
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
