Compiling Trilinos

A script which has details of the relevant configuration options for Trilinos is available at the ARCHER2 Github repository. The script will build a static-only version of the libraries. 

$ git clone https://github.com/ARCHER2-HPC/pe-scripts.git
$ cd pe-scripts
$ git checkout modules-2022-12
$ ...
$ ./sh/trilinos.sh --prefix=/path/to/install/location
where --prefix sets the installation location. The ellipsis ... is standing for the dependencies used to build Trilinos, which here are: metis, parmetis, superlu, superlu-dist, scotch, mumps, glm, boost. These packages should be built as described in their corresponding pages linked in the menu on the left.

See the ARCHER2 Github repository for further details.

Note that Trilinos may take up to one hour to compile on its own, and so the compilation is best performed as a batch job.
