Nimrod/A

Nimrod/A native optimisation library for Nimrod/OK.

Written for for my 2016 honours project and subsequently published:

• Multi-objective optimisation in scientific workflows
  • 10.1016/j.procs.2017.05.213

If you use this library it would be greatly appreciated if you cited the above article.

Building for Nimrod/OK

When building for Nimrod/OK, try to minimise the amount of dynamic dependencies required.

Linux

• Statically link to libstdc++, you’d be surprised how many systems have no C++11 support yet.
  • This is fine, as the public interface is pure C. There is no front-facing C++ code.

$ git clone https://path/to/repo/nimroda
$ cd nimroda && mkdir -p build && cd build
$ LDFLAGS="-static-libstdc++" cmake -DNIMRODA_BUILD_STATIC=Off ..
$ make nimroda && strip -s libnimroda.so

Windows (Mingw-w64)

• Statically link to libgcc and libstdc++.
• For 32-bit use -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../mingw-w64-toolchain-x86.cmake
• For 64-bit use -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../mingw-w64-toolchain-x86_64.cmake

$ git clone https://path/to/repo/nimroda
$ cd nimroda && mkdir -p build && cd build
$ LDFLAGS="-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++" cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../mingw-w64-toolchain-x86.cmake -DNIMRODA_BUILD_STATIC=Off ..
$ make nimroda && strip -s libnimroda.dll && mv libnimroda.dll nimroda.dll

Windows (Visual Studio)

• VS 2015, use:
  • -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" for 32-bit
  • -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" for 64-bit
• Only Visual Studio 2015 RTM has been tested

$ git clone https://path/to/repo/nimroda
$ cd nimroda && mkdir -p build && cd build
$ cmake -DNIMRODA_BUILD_STATIC=Off

Notes

• Will not compile with GCC 4.8, see bug 54577
