GEOtop may be compiled in several ways:

  1. through an IDE like Eclipse click here (MacOS,Linux) or here (Windows) to get detailed instructions. With this option you also download the source code.

For MacOS users: before installing Subclipse, make sure you have the JAVA HL native libraries included (see http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL for more info). You can download and install the OSX package that is provided on openCollabNet. This installs Subversion, including the JavaHL library, into /opt/subversion.

  1. through a makefile: you should have already downloaded the source code as explained in the option 2 of Download GEOtop source code. Follow the following procedure:

Download the folder Debug according to your operating system:

This makefile is valid JUST for Ascii-type input file (not NetCDF). Put the folder Debug inside the directory where the source code is, i.e. at the same level of the folder src. In this folder you should eventually have the following directories:

Debug, src

Open a terminal, go inside the folder Debug:

$ cd Debug

and launch the makefile with the GNU make command

make clean

to remove the pre-compiled object files and

make all

to compile GEOtop.
