1   oommf-in-spack

1.1   Introduction

Support repository for getting the OOMMF package into Spack.

Mostly aimed for maintainers of the OOMMF package in spack: to test changes to the oommf/spack.py file before request merges in spack upstream.

There is a related effort to run some tests on the OOMMF package in spack for older versions of spack at https://github.com/fangohr/spack-ci-oommf .

1.2   Status

Compile OOMMF in Debian (without spack, just for reference):

Compile OOMMF on (Debian) Linux with spack using the oommf/package.py file in this repository:

2   Required commands to compile OOMMF with Spack

2.1   Compilation of OOMMF

At the moment, this is under development, and we need three lines

1. install spack as described here:

   git clone -c feature.manyFiles=true https://github.com/spack/spack.git ~/spack

2. cd into spack directory with: cd ~/spack

3. activate spack with source share/spack/setup-env.sh

4. Then compile oommf (this could take some time):

spack install oommf

Ideally, there are no errors.

2.2   Additional tests

We can run some additional checks with these commands

• spack test run --alias oommftest oommf

To see the results, use - spack test results -l oommftest

2.3   To use OOMMF after installation

1. Activate spack (adjust the path below if not inside spack directory)

• source share/spack/setup-env.sh

2. Load oommf

• spack load oommf

3. Use oommf

Now oommf.tcl should be in the path and can be used as usual.

3   Experimental work in progress (OSX)

More experimental are the following (and done in separate branches):

1. Compile OOMMF on OSX with Spack, see osx branch at https://github.com/fangohr/oommf-in-spack/tree/osx.

   

2. Compile OOMMF on Debian and OSX, using Spack’s develop branch, see https://github.com/fangohr/oommf-in-spack/tree/spack-develop.
