\page paramedmem_install Configuring and Installing MED from sources

The libraries in SALOME MED can be configured in several manners so that it can run inside or outside the Salome platform.
Also, partitioning and parallel functionalities are optional.

The sources of the library are located in the \a MED_SRC directory.
The first step consists in preparing the configuration of the library :
\verbatim
cd ${MED_SRC}
./build_configure
\endverbatim

This will create SALOME MED libraries with link to the SALOME Kernel.
Sometimes, if it is desirable to have a standalone version of the library to be used independently from SALOME, use :
\verbatim
cd ${MED_SRC}
./build_configure --without-kernel
\endverbatim

The library can then be configured :
\verbatim
mkdir ../MED_BUILD
cd ../MED_BUILD
../MED_SRC/configure --prefix=`pwd`/../MED_INSTALL
\endverbatim

This will configure the library without splitting functionalities. ParaMEDMEM will be compiled if an MPI version has been found.

The following options can be useful to configure SALOME MED :
- \a --enable-splitter=yes will trigger the compilation of the MEDSPLITTER tool,
- \a --with-metis=${METISDIR} will specify a location for the METIS library,
- \a --with-scotch=${SCOTCHDIR} will specify a location for the SCOTCH library,
- \a --with-med3=${MED3DIR} specifies a location for MED-file library,
- \a --with-hdf5=${HDF5DIR} specifies a location for the HDF5 library (must be the same as that used for the MED-file library)
- \a --with-lam=${LAMDIR} specifies an install path for a LAM MPI library,
- \a --with-mpich=${MPICHDIR} specifies an install path for a MPICH-1 library.
