NE451 - Simulation Methods

This is for attempting to install the DISLIN library for usage in C++ programs on Mac or Linux.

###Linux Installation Instructions

  1. sudo apt-get install libmotif4 && sudo apt-get install cmake
  2. Download the DISLIN .deb file for Linux.
    • The installation directory is /usr/local/
    • You should have a /usr/local/dislin/real64 folder.
    • DONT DO THIS, I NEVER GOT IT WORKING: Rename /usr/local/dislin/dislin.h to dislinold.h, then copy /usr/local/dislin/real64/dislin.h into /usr/local/dislin/. This will enable double precision calculations.
  3. git clone https://github.com/chrishajduk84/NE451Simulation/

###Mac OS X Installation Instructions NOTE: THIS HAS NOT BEEN THOROUGHLY TESTED

  1. sudo brew install https://gist.githubusercontent.com/steakknife/60a39a32ae84e12238a2/raw/openmotif.rb && sudo brew install cmake
  2. Install the DISLIN tar.gz file for Mac
    • Ensure that the installation directory is /usr/local/.
    • You should have a /usr/local/dislin/
    • DONT DO THIS, I NEVER GOT IT WORKING: Rename /usr/local/dislin/dislin.h to dislinold.h, then copy /usr/local/dislin/real64/dislin.h into /usr/local/dislin/. This will enable double precision calculations.
  3. git clone https://github.com/chrishajduk84/NE451Simulation/

If it is still not working consider doing the following (MAC only):

export DISLIN=/usr/local/dislin

./INSTALL

add the following to .bash_profile:

# DISLIN

export PATH="/usr/local/dislin/bin:$PATH"

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/dislin:$PATH"

###Compiling your program For now, you need to add each file you will compile into the CMakeLists.txt file. It is already configured to compile "main.cpp"

In the project directory do:

  1. mkdir build
  2. cd build
  3. cmake ../
  4. make

If you don't get any error messages, you are good to go.

If you get an error message, it will likely say error: no matching function for call to 'qplot'. This is a result of the fact that you did not rename /usr/local/dislin/dislin.h to dislinold.h, then copy /usr/local/dislin/real64/dislin.h into /usr/local/dislin/. As a result, the qplot function does not accept double precision floating point operations. Either copy the file, or change the type for variable x and y to float.
