DOLFIN User ManualHoffman, Jansson, Logg, Wellsfor a complete list of arguments.• Use the option --prefix= to specify an alternative directory forinstallation of DOLFIN. The default directory is /usr/local/, whichmeans that header files will be installed under /usr/local/include/and libraries will be installed under /usr/local/lib/. This optioncan be useful if you don’t have root access but want to install DOLFINlocally on a user account as follows:# mkdir ~/local# ./configure --prefix=~/local# make# make install• Use the option --enable-debug to compile DOLFIN with debuggingsymbols and assertions.• Use the option --enable-optimization to compile an optimized versionof DOLFIN without debugging symbols and assertions.• Use the option --disable-curses to compile DOLFIN without thecurses interface (a text-mode graphical user interface).• Use the option --disable-mpi to compile DOLFIN without supportfor MPI (Message Passing Interface), assuming PETSc has been compiledwithout support for MPI.• Use the option --with-petsc-dir= to specify the location ofthe PETSc directory. By default, DOLFIN assumes that PETSc hasbeen installed in /usr/local/lib/petsc/.Alternatively, use the script configure.local to install DOLFIN in a subdirectory(local) of the DOLFIN source tree. This can be convenient if youare not root, don’t want to install DOLFIN on your system, or are workingon several different source trees:# ./configure.local# make# make install101
