Development code for General Lake Model (GLM).

##Model Access

The primary source of GLM-AED for most users is the University of Western Australia GLM website. The code and versions available here represent unstable development releases that should be avoided by non-expert users.

##Dev Environment Setup

Instructions for getting linux dev environment for GLM. need 64bit ubuntu VM. These are not guaranteed to work.

I needed to get the dev libraries of netcdf and libgd2

sudo apt-get install libnetcdf-dev libgd2-xpm-dev

build essential covered many support libraries:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

not sure if all of this was needed too for [R] ncdf4 package:

sudo apt-get install libnetcdf6 libgd2-xpm
sudo apt-get install netcdf-doc
sudo apt-get install netcdf-bin

Lastly, GLM also requires the intel fortran support libraries which do not have a .deb install package so cannot be checked for. We built and tested against l_fcompxe_2013.2.146_redist.tgz which is available here: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/redistributable-libraries-for-the-intel-c-and-fortran-composer-xe-2013-for-linux

We install the libraries in /opt/intel after which we copy the libifort.conf file from the Support directory (in dropbox) to /etc/ld.so.conf.d and run :

sudo ldconfig

To build deb package (at the end of build_glm.sh), I needed

sudo apt-get install debhelper

to build package (from GLM_Developers root):

./build_glm.sh

Run a test case

cd glm-aed/test/BigMuskie/
../../src/glm

NOTE, below is no longer relevant. This is handled very well in GLMr and is the preferred way of distribution to novice and intermediate users

today the dependencies for macGLM1.3.2 were modified so that the baked in dylib dependencies could be put in a sim/bin directory instead of root/hydro.

from the sim/ directory (which contains glm unix exe), otool -L glm # which lists dependencies This shows that libnetncdf.7.dylib is default in /Users/hydro/devel/lib/libnetcdf.7.dylib

Then I used install_name_tool on mac to modify the dependency location:
install_name_tool -change /Users/hydro/devel/lib/libnetcdf.7.dylib ../bin/devel/lib/libnetcdf.7.dylib glm
The bin directory was added as well, and the libraries in hydro were moved here.

Ran glm from the sim dir with ./glm

Now we need to try this on other computers. The goal is to be able to set up glm for macs using a thumb drive (as we can with windows).

When we get a new dump of code on dropbox, we remove the .git subfolders: rm -R -f */.git
