Installation Liggghts-Public on Windows with MPI version

Submitted by lucas-allier on Thu, 09/13/2018 - 09:01

Hi everyone,

Is there anyone have successfully installed mpi executable of Liggghts-Public on Windows?
I tried several ways but none of them worked:

1. Follow Liggghts documentation: (https://www.cfdem.com/media/DEM/docu/Section_start.html)
I don't need VTK option so I set USE_VTK = "OFF" in the file MAKE/Makefile.user.
2. Follow the steps in the textfile: install_liggghts_windows.txt (https://github.com/CFDEMproject/LIGGGHTS- PUBLIC/blob/master/doc/install_liggghts_windows.txt)
3. Using Cmake
(https://github.com/CFDEMproject/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/wiki/Installing-LIGGGHTS-(Cmake-also-on-Windows))
4. Search in the Liggghts forum: for instance: https://www.cfdem.com/forums/installing-liggghts-public-36-windows-7-cma...

Is there anyone have successfully installed mpi executable of Liggghts-Public on Windows, I would be happy to receive any ideas or propositions.
(I have two computers: 64 bit Windows 7 and 64 bit Windows 10, with many of processors). For now I run simulations with serial version, but it is too bad if I cannot use those processors.

Many thanks!
