                         SCALASCA v2 INSTALL GUIDE
                         =========================

This file describes how to configure, compile, and install the Scalasca
performance analysis toolset.  If you are not familiar with using the
configure scripts generated by GNU autoconf, read the "Generic Installation
Instructions" section below; then return here.


Prerequisites
=============

To build Scalasca v2, various tools and packages are required:

  * ISO C++98 compiler
  * ISO C99 compiler
  * A "working" POSIX-compatible shell
  * A POSIX-compatible make

Optionally, Scalasca v2 can be configured to use the following support
libraries:

  * CUBE4 library v4.2 or newer         (http://www.score-p.org/)

       This distribution package only includes the core writer part of the
       CUBE4 library.  That is, to effectively use Scalasca a separate full
       installation of CUBE4 (including the reader/writer libraries, GUI,
       and command-line tools) is strongly recommended.

  * OTF2 library v1.2                   (http://www.score-p.org/)

       Although this package comes with a recent version of the OTF2 library
       included, it might be desired to use a separate installation instead
       (e.g., to "share" with the Score-P measurement system).

  * zlib library v1.2.3 or newer        (http://www.zlib.net/)

       The zlib library is only needed if backwards compatibility support
       for compressed trace files written in EPILOG format (generated by
       Scalasca v1) is desired.  In cross-compiling environments, zlib has
       to be compiled for the compute nodes (i.e., backend).

  * SIONlib library v1.3p5 or newer     (http://www.fz-juelich.de/jsc/sionlib)

       The SIONlib library is only needed if the included OTF2 library shall
       be configured to support SIONlib container files for storing trace
       data.

  * GNU liberty library

       The GNU liberty library is only required if getopt_long_only() is not
       part of the system's C library.  It is distributed as part of GNU gcc,
       gdb, and binutils.  In cross-compiling environments, liberty has to be
       compiled for the frontend.


Quick start
===========

In a nutshell, configuring, building, and installing Scalasca can be as simple
as executing the shell commands

    ./configure --prefix=<installdir>
    make
    make install

Depending on your system configuration and specific needs, the build process
can be customized as described below.


Configuration
=============

The configure script in this package tries to automatically determine the
platform for which Scalasca will be compiled in order to provide reasonable
defaults for backend (i.e., compute-node) compilers, MPI compilers, and, in
case of cross-compiling environments, frontend (i.e., login-node) compilers.

Depending on the environment it is possible to override the platform defaults
by using the following configure options:

In non-cross-compiling environments, the compiler suite used to build the
backend parts can be specified explicitly if desired.  On Linux clusters it
is currently recommended to use this option to select a compiler suite other
than GCC.

  --with-nocross-compiler-suite=(gcc|ibm|intel|pgi|studio)
               The compiler suite used to build this package in
               non-cross-compiling environments.  Needs to be in $PATH.
               [Default: gcc]

In cross-compiling environments, the compiler suite used to build the
frontend parts can be specified explicitly if desired.

  --with-frontend-compiler-suite=(gcc|ibm|intel|pgi|studio)
               The compiler suite used to build the frontend parts of
               this package in cross-compiling environments.  Needs to
               be in $PATH.  
               [Default: gcc]

The MPI compiler, if in $PATH, is usually autodetected.  If there are several
MPI compilers found in $PATH, the user is requested to select one using the
configure option:

  --with-mpi=(bullxmpi|hp|ibmpoe|intel|intel2|intelpoe|lam|mpibull2| \
              mpich|mpich2|mpich3|openmpi|platform|scali|sgimpt|sun)
               The MPI compiler suite to build this package in non
               cross-compiling mode.  Usually autodetected.  Needs to
               be in $PATH.

Note that there is currently no consistency check if backend and MPI compiler
are from the same vendor.  If they are not, linking problems (undefined
references) might occur.

If a particular system requires to use compilers different to those Scalasca
currently supports, please edit the three files
vendor/common/build-config/platforms/platform-*-user-provided to your needs
and use the following configure option:

  --with-custom-compilers
               Customize compiler settings by editing the three files
               vendor/common/build-config/platforms/platform-*-user-provided
               before calling configure.  You are entering unsupported
               terrain.  Namaste, and good luck!

On cross-compile systems the default frontend compiler is IBM XL for the Blue
Gene series and GCC on all other platforms.  The backend compilers will
either be automatically selected by the platform detection (IBM Blue Gene
series) or by the currently loaded environment modules (Cray XT series).  If
you want to customize these settings please use the configure option
'--with-custom-compilers' as described above.

It is also possible to explicitly disable support for MPI and/or OpenMP using
the following options, though this should be rarely necessary.

  --disable-openmp        Disable OpenMP support
  --without-mpi           Disable MPI support

Although this package comes with recent versions of the OTF2 and CUBE4 writer
libraries included, it is possible to use existing installations instead:

  --with-otf2=(yes|<otf2-bindir>)
                          Use an already installed OTF2 v1.2 library. Provide
                          path to otf2-config if not already in $PATH.
  --with-cube=(yes|<cube-bindir>)
                          Use an already installed CUBE4 library (v4.2 or
                          newer). Provide path to cube-config if not already
                          in $PATH.

To enable SIONlib support in the included OTF2 library, the following option
is required.  It has no effect if an external OTF2 installation is used (as
it was already compiled with or without SIONlib support).

  --with-sionconfig=(yes|no|<path-to-sionconfig>)
                          Whether to use sionconfig and where to find it.
                          "yes" assumes it is in PATH [no].

Finally, the last two options can be used to provide the installation paths of
the 'libz' and 'libiberty' libraries in case configure is unable to determine
them automatically:

  --with-libz=(yes|no|<Path to libz installation>)
                          If you want to build Scalasca with libz but do not
                          have a libz in a standard location, you need to
                          explicitly specify the directory where it is
                          installed. On non-cross-compile systems we search
                          the system include and lib paths per default [yes];
                          on cross-compile systems, however, you have to
                          specify a path [no]. --with-libz is a shorthand for
                          --with-libz-include=<Path/include> and
                          --with-libz-lib=<Path/lib>. If these shorthand
                          assumptions are not correct, you can use the
                          explicit include and lib options directly.

  --with-libiberty=(yes|no|<Path to libiberty installation>)
                          If you want to build Scalasca with libiberty but
                          do not have a (frontend) libiberty in a standard
                          location, you need to explicitly specify the
                          directory where it is installed
                          (--with-libiberty=<libiberty-install-dir>) [yes].
                          This is a shorthand for
                          --with-libiberty-include=<Path/include> and
                          --with-libiberty-lib=<Path/lib>. If these shorthand
                          assumptions are not correct, you can use the
                          explicit include and lib options directly.

The '--with-libiberty' option should only be used if directed by configure or
the detected implementation of getopt_long_only() is known to be broken.

Instead of passing command-line options to the 'configure' script, the package
configuration can also be influenced by setting the following environment
variables:

  CC          C compiler command

Building & Installing
=====================

Before building Scalasca v2, carefully check whether the configuration summary
printed by the configure script matches your expectations (i.e., whether MPI
and/or OpenMP support is correctly enabled/disabled, external libraries are
used, etc). If everything is OK, Scalasca can be built and installed using

        make
        make install

Note that parallel builds (i.e., using 'make -j <n>') are fully supported.

   Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification,
are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright
notice and this notice are preserved.  This file is offered as-is,
without warranty of any kind.

Basic Installation
==================

   Briefly, the shell commands `./configure; make; make install' should
configure, build, and install this package.  The following more-detailed
instructions are generic; see the section above for instructions
specific to this package.  Some packages provide this `INSTALL' file but
do not implement all of the features documented below.  The lack of an
optional feature in a given package is not necessarily a bug.

   The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation.  It uses
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
definitions.  Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
debugging `configure').

   It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring.  Caching is
disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
cache files.

   If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
diffs or instructions to scalasca@fz-juelich.de so they can be
considered for the next release.  If you are using the cache, and at
some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
may remove or edit it.

   The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
`configure' by a program called `autoconf'.  You need `configure.ac' if
you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version
of `autoconf'.

   The simplest way to compile this package is:

  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
     `./configure' to configure the package for your system.

     Running `configure' might take a while.  While running, it prints
     some messages telling which features it is checking for.

  2. Type `make' to compile the package.

  3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
     the package, generally using the just-built uninstalled binaries.

  4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
     documentation.  When installing into a prefix owned by root, it is
     recommended that the package be configured and built as a regular
     user, and only the `make install' phase executed with root
     privileges.

  5. Optionally, type `make installcheck' to repeat any self-tests, but
     this time using the binaries in their final installed location.
     This target does not install anything.  Running this target as a
     regular user, particularly if the prior `make install' required
     root privileges, verifies that the installation completed
     correctly.

  6. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
     source code directory by typing `make clean'.  To also remove the
     files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
     a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.  There is
     also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
     for the package's developers.  If you use it, you may have to get
     all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
     with the distribution.

  7. Often, you can also type `make uninstall' to remove the installed
     files again.  In practice, not all packages have tested that
     uninstallation works correctly, even though it is required by the
     GNU Coding Standards.

  8. Some packages, particularly those that use Automake, provide `make
     distcheck', which can by used by developers to test that all other
     targets like `make install' and `make uninstall' work correctly.
     This target is generally not run by end users.

Compilers and Options
=====================

   Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
the `configure' script does not know about.  Run `./configure --help'
for details on some of the pertinent environment variables.

   You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
by setting variables in the command line or in the environment.  Here
is an example:

     ./configure CC=c99 CFLAGS=-g LIBS=-lposix

   *Note Defining Variables::, for more details.

Compiling For Multiple Architectures
====================================

   You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
own directory.  To do this, you can use GNU `make'.  `cd' to the
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
the `configure' script.  `configure' automatically checks for the
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.  This
is known as a "VPATH" build.

   With a non-GNU `make', it is safer to compile the package for one
architecture at a time in the source code directory.  After you have
installed the package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before
reconfiguring for another architecture.

   On MacOS X 10.5 and later systems, you can create libraries and
executables that work on multiple system types--known as "fat" or
"universal" binaries--by specifying multiple `-arch' options to the
compiler but only a single `-arch' option to the preprocessor.  Like
this:

     ./configure CC="gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \
                 CXX="g++ -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \
                 CPP="gcc -E" CXXCPP="g++ -E"

   This is not guaranteed to produce working output in all cases, you
may have to build one architecture at a time and combine the results
using the `lipo' tool if you have problems.

Installation Names
==================

   By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under
`/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc.  You
can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving
`configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX', where PREFIX must be an
absolute file name.

   You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.  If you
pass the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX' to `configure', the package uses
PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix.

   In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
options like `--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular
kinds of files.  Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
you can set and what kinds of files go in them.  In general, the
default for these options is expressed in terms of `${prefix}', so that
specifying just `--prefix' will affect all of the other directory
specifications that were not explicitly provided.

   The most portable way to affect installation locations is to pass the
correct locations to `configure'; however, many packages provide one or
both of the following shortcuts of passing variable assignments to the
`make install' command line to change installation locations without
having to reconfigure or recompile.

   The first method involves providing an override variable for each
affected directory.  For example, `make install
prefix=/alternate/directory' will choose an alternate location for all
directory configuration variables that were expressed in terms of
`${prefix}'.  Any directories that were specified during `configure',
but not in terms of `${prefix}', must each be overridden at install
time for the entire installation to be relocated.  The approach of
makefile variable overrides for each directory variable is required by
the GNU Coding Standards, and ideally causes no recompilation.
However, some platforms have known limitations with the semantics of
shared libraries that end up requiring recompilation when using this
method, particularly noticeable in packages that use GNU Libtool.

   The second method involves providing the `DESTDIR' variable.  For
example, `make install DESTDIR=/alternate/directory' will prepend
`/alternate/directory' before all installation names.  The approach of
`DESTDIR' overrides is not required by the GNU Coding Standards, and
does not work on platforms that have drive letters.  On the other hand,
it does better at avoiding recompilation issues, and works well even
when some directory options were not specified in terms of `${prefix}'
at `configure' time.

Optional Features
=================

   If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.

   Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System).

   For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.

   Some packages offer the ability to configure how verbose the
execution of `make' will be.  For these packages, running `./configure
--enable-silent-rules' sets the default to minimal output, which can be
overridden with `make V=1'; while running `./configure
--disable-silent-rules' sets the default to verbose, which can be
overridden with `make V=0'.

Particular systems
==================

   On HP-UX, the default C compiler is not ANSI C compatible.  If GNU
CC is not installed, it is recommended to use the following options in
order to use an ANSI C compiler:

     ./configure CC="cc -Ae -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500"

and if that doesn't work, install pre-built binaries of GCC for HP-UX.

   On OSF/1 a.k.a. Tru64, some versions of the default C compiler cannot
parse its `<wchar.h>' header file.  The option `-nodtk' can be used as
a workaround.  If GNU CC is not installed, it is therefore recommended
to try

     ./configure CC="cc"

and if that doesn't work, try

     ./configure CC="cc -nodtk"

   On Solaris, don't put `/usr/ucb' early in your `PATH'.  This
directory contains several dysfunctional programs; working variants of
these programs are available in `/usr/bin'.  So, if you need `/usr/ucb'
in your `PATH', put it _after_ `/usr/bin'.

   On Haiku, software installed for all users goes in `/boot/common',
not `/usr/local'.  It is recommended to use the following options:

     ./configure --prefix=/boot/common

Specifying the System Type
==========================

   There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of machine the package
will run on.  Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the
_same_ architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
a message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
`--build=TYPE' option.  TYPE can either be a short name for the system
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:

     CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM

where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:

     OS
     KERNEL-OS

   See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field.  If
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
need to know the machine type.

   If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
use the option `--target=TYPE' to select the type of system they will
produce code for.

   If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.

Sharing Defaults
================

   If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists.  Or, you can set the
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.

Defining Variables
==================

   Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
environment passed to `configure'.  However, some packages may run
configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
variables may be lost.  In order to avoid this problem, you should set
them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'.  For example:

     ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc

causes the specified `gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
overridden in the site shell script).

Unfortunately, this technique does not work for `CONFIG_SHELL' due to
an Autoconf bug.  Until the bug is fixed you can use this workaround:

     CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash /bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash

`configure' Invocation
======================

   `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
operates.

`--help'
`-h'
     Print a summary of all of the options to `configure', and exit.

`--help=short'
`--help=recursive'
     Print a summary of the options unique to this package's
     `configure', and exit.  The `short' variant lists options used
     only in the top level, while the `recursive' variant lists options
     also present in any nested packages.

`--version'
`-V'
     Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
     script, and exit.

`--cache-file=FILE'
     Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
     traditionally `config.cache'.  FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
     disable caching.

`--config-cache'
`-C'
     Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.

`--quiet'
`--silent'
`-q'
     Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.  To
     suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
     messages will still be shown).

`--srcdir=DIR'
     Look for the package's source code in directory DIR.  Usually
     `configure' can determine that directory automatically.

`--prefix=DIR'
     Use DIR as the installation prefix.  *note Installation Names::
     for more details, including other options available for fine-tuning
     the installation locations.

`--no-create'
`-n'
     Run the configure checks, but stop before creating any output
     files.

`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.  Run
`configure --help' for more details.
