Installing Eclipse
- Go to http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, select the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers. Select the relevant operating system and download, then untar / unzip. That is all there is the installation.
- To run eclipse, simply start the binary. Eclipse typically requires a "workspace" to manage its projects. It will prompt you for the creation of this directory when you first start the program.
Installing Mojave
- Click on Help > Install New Software ...
- Click on the Add tab, a dialogue will appear
- In the dialogue, put "Mojave" for the name, and "http://mojave.cct.lsu.edu/Mojave-Update/" for the location.
- The dialogue below will create a checkbox next to Mojave. Click next to continue the install.
- Please make sure that your system also has perl, python, git, and subversion installed as well.
- If you wish to build locally, you will also need gcc, g++, gfortran (or equivalent compilers), and make.
Installing Photran
- Click on Help > Install New Software ...
- Click on the Add tab, a dialogue will appear
- In the dialogue, put "PTP" for the name, and "http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/updates/helios" for the location.
- Type the word "Photran" in the filter text box.
- Select all checkboxes, and click next to continue the install.
Creating a Mojave Project in Eclipse
To use Mojave you first need to create a Cactus project. These projects can either come from the web, or you can use an existing installation on disk.
To install from the web
Installing from the web creates a completely new Cactus installation within the Eclipse workspace.
- Click File > Project > Fortran
- Assign a project name and pick a project type (Makefile project is recommended). Click next.
- On the next screen you are asked to select configurations. Click next.
- The next screen you may see is "Test page". If you see it, ignore it and click next.
- The next screen you will see is the "New Mojave Project" page.
- You can either select an existing (i.e. Disk project), or load Cactus from the web (download project). A regular project is simply a Fortran project with no Cactus affiliation.
- Regardless of your choice of installation type, filling in the requisite form fields with valid values should enable the "Finish" button.
To use an existing install
This install creates links from within the Eclipse workspace to another location. It will not overwrite any files. Deleting an installation (even if you check delete project contents) of this type will leave all linked directories unharmed.
- Click File > Project > New Mojave Project
- Select the radio button for using an existing install
- On the wizard, select an Eclipse project name and browse to the existing install.
- Note that Mojave expects the Python version of SimFactory.
Building with Mojave
- A new button named "Mojave" should be present on your toolbar.
- For each Cactus project you will have the option to "Edit Variables..." or perform an action such as "Build", "Clean Build", "Remote Build".
- Editing variables changes the behavior of the other options. The variables control which thornlist you are using, which remote machine, etc.
- If the existing set of options is not to your liking, you can edit the .mojave.xml file located in the root of the Cactus install. You can add new variable types and commands to suit your needs.
