Building a portable C++ library is not an easy task. We try to build it with many
combinations of OS and compilers. The last stable version has been tested on the
following configurations:

Linux with g++ (versions 4.8 to 7.1)

MacOS X (with the python and Matlab interfaces)
Windows with MinGW and MSys (GetFEM++ only -- see specific notes for the
matlab interface)

Install GetFEM++ 5.3 on different plateforms

Installation from sources
Since standard GNU tools are used, the installation of the GetFEM++ library is somewhat
standard. From a general viewpoint, the installation from sources will require the following
ingredients for any platform:

A decently recent C/C++ compiler accepting C++ 11 standard (gcc/g++ >= 4.8
for instance).
If you want to build binaries from git to get the latest changes, improvements,
bugfixes, new bugs, etc. It requires a git client, automake, and libtool (otherwise,
use the lastest stable package).
By default, the Python Getfem interface is built. It requires the python
development files (Python.h etc.) to be available (package ``python-all-dev`` in
debian distribution), and also the Numpy and Scipy packages to be installed
(package ``python-numpy`` and ``python-scipy`` in debian distribution). In case
of troubles with a non-gnu compiler, gcc/g++ (>= 4.8) should be a safe solution
(package ``build-essential`` in debian distribution). If you do not want to build the
python interface, use the configure option `./configure --disable-python`
If you want to build the Matlab interface, it requires a recent Matlab version
installed on your system and the associated mex compiler correctly configured.
If you want to build the Scilab interface, it requires a recent Scilab version
installed on your system.

If you want mesh generation and fictitious domain facilities (such as Xfem), it
requires the package qhull installed on your system (package ``libqhull-dev`` in
debian distribution).
If you want to use MUMPS linear sparse solver instead of SUPERLU, you need
to install the sequential version of MUMPS on your system (or the parallel one if
you intend to use the parallel version of GetFEM++).

Depending on the plateform, find some specific help here for the installation on Linux,
MacOS X, or Windows.

Installation from pre-compiled packages

On a Debian/Ubuntu system
GetFEM++ packages are available in the official repositories of Debian and Ubuntu
distributions. Information about the GetFEM++ versions available in different Debian releases
can be found e.g. at https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/getfem++ and with respect to
different Ubuntu releases at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/getfem++ GetFEM++
including its python interface can be installed from a terminal by executing aptitude update
and aptitude install python-getfem++.

On Windows (last release)

Installer of the GetFEM 5.2 interface for 64bits Windows and Matlab 2016: getfem5.2-
matlab2016-interface-setup.exe.

IMPORTANT : Unfortunately, it seems that recent Matlab versions on Windows do not

take properly into account the MATLABPATH environment variable (Matlab is unable
to run correctly with a defined MATLABPATH variable). So, the installer do not set it
and you have to add the install path specified on the installer yourself using Matlab
(Click on "home" and "add path" in Matlab).

Once installed, you can test under Matlab the tests programs included.

Installer of the GetFEM 5.2 interface for 64bits Windows and Python 2.7 of Anaconda
2-4.4.0 (furnished by J.-F. Barthelemy): getfem5.2win-amd64-py2.7.exe.

Note that you have to install first Anaconda 2. The interface is only built for Anaconda
2, if you want to use Anaconda 3 (Python 3.x) you have to build the interface following
this.

Once installed, you can test under for instance command shell the Python tests
programs included.

On Windows (old releases)

Installer of the GetFEM 4.1 Scilab interface for 32bits Windows and Scilab 5.3
provided by Yann Colette (2011/11/18): sci_getfem-rev2914-scilab-5.3-setup.exe.

Binaries for the python-interface (python 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6) on Windows XP
(2010/08/28) kindly provided by Yao Koutsawa: getfem_python-4.1.win32-py2.5.exe,
getfem_python-4.1.win32-py2.6.exe, getfem_python-4.1.win32-py2.7.exe.
