2.1 Compiling

To build a POSE simulation, run etrans.pl on each POSE module to get the new source files. etrans.pl is a source to source translator. Given a module name it will translate the module.h, module.ci, and module.C files into module_sim.h, module_sim.ci, and module_sim.C files. The translation operation adds wrapper classes for POSE objects and handles the interface with strategies and other poser options.

To facilitate code organization, the module.C file can be broken up into multiple files and those files can appended to the etrans.pl command line after the module name. These additional .C files will be translated and their output appended to the module_sim.C file.

The -s switch can be passed to use the sequential simulator feature of POSE on your simulation, but you must also build a sequential version when you compile (see below).

Once the code has been translated, it is a CHARM++ program that can be compiled with charmc. Please refer to the CHARM++/CONVERSE Installation and Usage Manual for details on the charmc command. You should build the new source files produced by etrans.pl along with the main program and any other source needed with charmc, linking with -module pose (or -module seqpose for a sequential version) and -language charm++. The SimBenchmark example has a Makefile that shows this process.
