There are several ways to compile GEOtop. here you can find some examples, please choose the one that fits your needs. Note that you have to follow this steps after you have downloaded the source code (see the DownLoad GEOtop page for this phase). This directory is named 0.9375 and contains the subdrectories APPLICATIONS , BINARIES , DOCUMENTATION , LIBRARIES , SCRIPTS and TEMPLATE. ThE GEOtop source code files are contained in the subdirectory APPLICATIONS/HYDROLOGY/geotop0.9375 . The GEOtop libraries source code files are organized in 4 different subdirectories: LIBRARIES/ASCII , LIBRARIES/FLUIDTURLES , LIBRARIES/GEOMORPHOLOGYLIB , LIBRARIES/MATH . All files contained in the cited directoris are necessary to complile GEOtop 0.9375. In BINARIES you can find tools to compile Geotop 0.9375 in differenet ways.
