Configuration Examples
Info: General instructions for configuring and compiling GAMBIT can be found on the installation page and in the original paper describing the code arXiv:1705.07908 ⧉.
Info: For building the entirety of GAMBIT without optimisation, at least 10 GB of RAM is required. The build can be completed with less RAM than this if enough modules are ditched when running cmake, with e.g. cmake -Ditch=“ColliderBit;DarkBit” .., etc. See arXiv:1705.07908 ⧉ for further details of how to ditch components. For a list of commonly used cmake options, see the file CMAKE_FLAGS.md. Building with optimisation enabled (e.g. using -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release) may require more than 20 GB of RAM, depending on the compiler in use and precisely which optimisations it employs. Interprocedural optimisation in particular requires very large amounts of RAM. In general, Release mode is only intended for performance-critical applications, such as when running on supercomputer architectures. It is not advised for laptops.
The remainder of this page contains specific cmake tweaks and environment variables that have been useful for configuring and building GAMBIT in more restricted environments, such as large clusters.
lxplus6 (CERN) with LCG compilers
The native SL6 compiler (GCC 4.4) and Boost library (1.41) are very old and not sufficient to build Gambit. Rather than manually install a full build chain, which is full of extra pitfalls, it's easiest to use the LCG package bundles like the LHC experiments do.

lxplus7 (CERN) with LCG compilers
The native CentOS 7 compiler is sufficient, but the Boost library version (1.41) is not, hence an LCG environment is again needed.

Saga (Oslo) with gcc compilers
Saga runs 64 bit CentOS 7. To compile you need to have a python environment with pyaml installed. We suggest using virtualenv.To start compiling, first load a consistent set of libraries:
module purge
module load foss/2019b
module load HDF5/1.10.5-gompi-2019b
module load CMake/3.15.3-GCCcore-8.3.0
module load Boost/1.71.0-GCC-8.3.0
module load GSL/2.6-GCC-8.3.0
module load Python/3.7.4-GCCcore-8.3.0
module load Eigen/3.3.7
Then do the usual compile as per the manual, but Saga needs to be told where to find Eigen:
cmake -DWITH_MPI=ON -DEIGEN3_INCLUDE_DIR=/cluster/software/Eigen/3.3.7/include -DBUILD_FS_MODELS="MSSM" -Ditch="Delphes" ..
