I'm trying to install DAMASK using source code on Ubuntu 22.04. But, It is not passing the PETSc test. I'm also getting errors while compiling using cmake. I need to know the flags used in the command that configures the PETSc.
As we know, PETSc is a library for solving large-scale scientific computing problems, and it is often used as a prerequisite for other scientific software packages, such as DAMASK. Please understand that you are final decision maker but general steps for configuring and installing PETSc for use with DAMASK 3.0.0-alpha7 on Ubuntu 22.04:
1. Install necessary dependencies:
```
sudo apt-get install gfortran liblapack-dev libblas-dev libopenmpi-dev
```
2. Download PETSc:
```
wget https://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/petsc-lite-3.15.4.tar.gz
```
3. Extract the PETSc source code:
```
tar -xvf petsc-lite-3.15.4.tar.gz
cd petsc-3.15.4/
```
4. Configure PETSc using the following command:
```
./configure --with-blas-lapack-dir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ --with-cc=mpicc --with-fc=mpif90 --download-mumps --download-scalapack --download-parmetis --download-metis --with-debugging=0 COPTFLAGS="-O3 -march=native" FOPTFLAGS="-O3 -march=native"
```
This command configures PETSc to use the system-provided BLAS and LAPACK libraries (`/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/`), the OpenMPI compilers (`mpicc` and `mpif90`), and the MUMPS, ScaLAPACK, ParMETIS, and METIS libraries. The `COPTFLAGS` and `FOPTFLAGS` flags optimize the PETSc code for performance.
5. Build PETSc using the following command:
```
make PETSC_DIR=$PWD PETSC_ARCH=arch-linux-c-debug all
```
This command builds PETSc with the configuration specified in Step 4.
6. Install PETSc using the following command:
```
make PETSC_DIR=$PWD PETSC_ARCH=arch-linux-c-debug install
```
This command installs PETSc to the `install` directory in the PETSc source code directory.
7. Set the `PETSC_DIR` and `PETSC_ARCH` environment variables to point to the PETSc installation directory and the PETSc architecture directory, respectively:
```
export PETSC_DIR=$PWD
export PETSC_ARCH=arch-linux-c-debug
```
These environment variables are used by DAMASK to find the PETSc libraries and headers during installation and use.
After these steps, you should have a working installation of PETSc that can be used with DAMASK 3.0.0-alpha7 on Ubuntu 22.04. Note that these instructions are general and may need to be modified depending on your specific system configuration and software requirements.
Hope it helps!!
