User Documentation

User Documentation is available online at http://hpfem.org/hermes/doc/index.html.

Download and Installation

Installation instructions for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows Cygwin, and Windows MSVC are part of User Documentation.

Generating and Viewing User Documentation Offline

Linux

Source files of the (Sphinx) user documentation are in the directory doc/. In order to compile the user documentation, you need to install Sphinx. Then follow these steps:

cd doc
make html
firefox _build/html

Windows + MSVC

This is a sequence of steps which will install Sphinx and which will allow to generate user documentation. The steps assume that you have already installed Microsoft Visual Studio 9 (MSVC) Express Edition (or any higher edition) and you have a copy of Hermes sources.

All commands, which are marked with a keyword 'prompt:', are executed in a command prompt opened in the step 3. Search for all mentioned application through Google since, usually, the first link is the right one.

1. Download and install python 2.6
2. Add paths 'my_python_path' and 'my_python_pathScripts' to the enviromental variable PATH.
3. Open a command prompt with MSVC variables: Search for 'Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt' in the start menu.
4. Download and install setuptools 0.6c11
5. Install Sphinx using setuptools (Internet access required) prompt: easy_install -U Sphinx
6. Go to a folder doc folder of Hermes source tree prompt: cd my_hermesdoc
7. Run NMAKE requesting HTML version prompt: nmake html
8. View the documentation using a file 'my_hermes2ddoc_buildindex.html'

Generating and Viewing Developer Documentation Offline

Linux

Source files of the (Doxygen) developer documentation are kept in the directories hermes1d/doc.cpp, hermes2d/doc.cpp and hermes3d/doc.cpp. In order to build them you need to install Doxygen. If you are in hermesXd/, do:

cd doc.cpp/
doxygen hermesXd.lib-real.doxyfile
doxygen hermesXd.lib-cplx.doxyfile

This will generate documentation for the real and complex version of the library, respectively. To view the docs, type:

firefox hXd-real/html/index.html
firefox hXd-cplx/html/index.html

Compilation

$ cmake .
$ make

If you have cmake text-based UI installed, you can do:

$ ccmake .
  press C
  customize your build
  press C
  press G
$ make

Hermes build configuration scripts will look for required libraries on default include and system paths. If you packages are installed elsewhere, you need to specify their paths. Consult either online documetation (see the link above) or cmake/FindXYX.cmake files for exact names. These values have to be put into CMake.var file located in your build directory.

Intel C Compiler

To use Intel C compiler:

$ export CC=/path/to/icc
$ export CXX=/path/to/icpc
$ cmake .
$ make

NOTE: version 10.0.026 did not work for us (some compatibility issues with STL), 10.1.022 works ok
