OpenModelica

OpenModelica is an open-source Modelica-based modeling and simulation environment intended for industrial and academic usage.

Dependencies

Many software packages are included inside the repositories. To get everything running, you will need a few extras:

• autoconf, automake, libtool, g++, gfortran (pretty standard compilers)
• boost (optional; used with configure --with-cppruntime)
• clang, clang++ (optional, but highly recommended)
• cmake
• hwloc (optional; queries the number of hardware CPU cores instead of logical CPU cores)
• Java JRE (JDK is option; compiles the Java CORBA interface)
• Lapack/BLAS
• lpsolve55
• libhdf5 (optional part of the MSL tables library supported by few other Modelica tools, so it does not do much)
• libexpat (it's actually included in the FMIL sources which are included... but we do not compile those and it's better to use the OS-provided dynamically linked version)
• ncurses, readline (optional, used by OMShell-terminal)
• omniORB (optional; CORBA is used by OMOptim and OMShell)
• OpenSceneGraph (optional, part of Modelica3D which should be compiled but is actually not yet compiled)
• Qt4, Webkit
• Sundials (optional; adds more numerical solvers to the simulation runtime)

Compilation (Linux/OSX)

$ autoconf
$ ./configure CC=clang CXX=clang++
$ make -j8
$ build/bin/omc --version
$ (cd testsuite/partest && ./runtests.pl -j8)

Working with the repository

OpenModelica.git is a superproject. Clone the project using:

git clone https://github.com/OpenModelica/OpenModelica.git --recursive

To keep the project updated, use something like:

git pull --recurse-submodules && git submodule foreach --recursive "git submodule update"

If you have push access to the submodules, you can push them all together and let hudson run the tests before this project is updated (only necessary if you change an interface or the test suite at the same time as OMCompiler):

git submodule foreach --recursive "git push"

If you are a developer and want to track the latest heads, use:

# To clone
git clone https://github.com/OpenModelica/OpenModelica.git --recursive && (cd OpenModelica && git submodule foreach --recursive "git checkout master")
# To update
git submodule foreach --recursive "git pull"
