Unstable version

Incremental Updates

It deals with the successive increments of the 11.x versions from the sources of the testing version (currently STA11.3). The incremental updates archives are available on the HISTOR web page.

Notice

• these developments are new, that’s why it is called an unstable branch!
• sometimes a subversion cannot be used before the next corrective (see also prerequisites modifications at the bottom of this page),
• the bases (computations results) cannot be reread from one week to another because data structures regularly change.

Why keep up with weekly versions?

• to have your own developments ready to be integrated into the reference version,
• to punctually recover a routine in order to rectify an anomaly, etc.

Advice

• do not modify the installed testing version (STA11.3, keep it as a reference),
• see the README provided with the sources of the testing version to install this version as an unstable one (change the ASTER_VERSION variable and the …/bibpyt/Accas/properties.py file if necessary),
• astk contains an automatic update service for development versions.

How-tos

Note: in the commands below, we suppose that your Code_Aster’s installation path is /opt/aster. Replace by yours if it’s different.

• start the automatic update :

/opt/aster/bin/as_run --auto_update

as_run will download updates from this website according to the information contained in the configuration file (/opt/aster/etc/codeaster/asrun), then it will implement them one by one, and rebuild Code_Aster.

During this operation, astk - which includes as_run - is automatically updated.

Required manual changes

version 11.2.x :

• in 11.2.16, use of Metis (download here) as library. You must install Metis (make install prefix=$ASTER_ROOT/public/metis-4.0.3) and add in the config.txt file:
  • on the line DEFS : _HAVE_METIS
  • on the line INCL : -I$ASTER_ROOT/public/metis-4.0.3/include
  • on the line BIBL : -lmetis if not already there for Mumps

• in 11.2.3, use of the include jeveux.h for fortran90:

You must add in the config.txt file on the line INCLF90:

-I$ASTER_VERSION_DIR/bibfor/include

($ASTER_VERSION_DIR will be automatically replaced by as_run by $ASTER_ROOT/unstable)

• in 11.2.2:
  • addition of the include jeveux.h in bibfor/include: You must add in the config.txt file on the line INCLF:

-I$ASTER_VERSION_DIR/bibfor/include

• a bug in as_run stops the construction of the code in the linking. Just delete $ASTER_ROOT/unstable/lib and re-run the construction:

rm -rf $ASTER_ROOT/unstable/lib && as_run --vers=unstable --make

version 11.1.x :

• in 11.1.17, the version of the hdf5 API changed : version 1.8.

These changes concerns the version 10.6.7 too.

Two possible cases :

• hdf5 use API 1.6 by default (if #define H5_USE_16_API_DEFAULT in H5pubconf.h file) : you must add H5_NO_DEPRECATED_SYMBOLS on the line DEFS in config.txt file.
• hdf5 use API 1.8 by default (if /* #undef H5_USE_16_API_DEFAULT */ in H5pubconf.h file) : you have to remove H5_USE_16_API on the line DEFS in config.txt file.

Then, you have to remove the compiled C files et and rebuild :

version 11.0.x :

• in 11.0.5, the version of the Med library changed : version 3.0.

The last version of Med is available on the page Download/Tools. Hdf5 version 1.8 is required.

Compulsory : For Code_Aster, you must change the config.txt file to modify the path to the med library. On a line BIBL, replace for instance /opt/aster/public/med-2.3.6 by /opt/aster/public/med-3.0. You must also add the path to the header files (line INCL). For example, add -I/opt/aster/public/med-3.0/include. Similarly, change the path to hdf5 headers.

If the hdf5 library has not been configured with the option —with-default-api-version=v16, you must add this information in the config.txt file : add the definition H5_USE_16_API on the DEFS line.
