Build GLM on Ubuntu

Note:* These instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 20.04.

To install prerequisites:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install vim build-essential git gfortran-8 libnetcdf-dev libgd-dev -y

Make gfortran-8 the default gfortran:

sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/gfortran
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gfortran-8 /usr/bin/gfortran

Then start building:

mkdir AquaticEcoDynamics
cd AquaticEcoDynamics

git clone https://github.com/AquaticEcoDynamics/libplot.git

git clone https://github.com/AquaticEcoDynamics/libaed-water.git

git clone https://github.com/AquaticEcoDynamics/libutil.git

git clone https://github.com/AquaticEcoDynamics/GLM.git
cd GLM

Edit GLM_CONFIG file:

vi GLM_CONFIG

Change WITH_PLOTS value from TRUE to FALSE:

export WITH_PLOTS=false

Change export AED2DIR value:

export AED2DIR=${CURDIR}/../libaed-water

The final content should be similar to the following:

#
# These are settings used for building glm
#

#export FABM=true
export AED2=false
export AED=true
export USE_DL=false
export WITH_PLOTS=false
export WITH_XPLOTS=false

# The build scripts will look for gfortran-8, gfortran then ifort; these can
# be used to override
# export FC=ifort
# export FC=gfortran

# The default is MacPorts : uncomment the next line if you use "homebrew"
# the build_glm.sh scripts will try to auto-configure this
#export HOMEBREW=true

export CURDIR=`pwd`
export FABMDIR=${CURDIR}/../fabm-git
export PLOTDIR=${CURDIR}/../libplot
export AED2DIR=${CURDIR}/../libaed-water
export AED2PLS=${CURDIR}/../libaed2-plus
export UTILDIR=${CURDIR}/../libutil

export GLM_CONFIGURED=true

Then build the GLM:

FC=gfortran-8 ./build_glm.sh

sudo ln -s $(realpath glm) /usr/local/bin

Run GLM:

glm

To re-build a package, first clear the directory and then build again:

make clean

Afterward, undo the change to the /etc/apt/sources.list file.
