Compiling the Magnon Modules

Back to Contents.

Paths

The magnon code consists of the following sub-modules:

• The basic calculation library can be found in the directory tlibs2/libs/magdyn.
• The code for the GUI is in the directory mag-core/tools/magdyn.
• The code for the Python scripting interface can be found in the directory mag-core/tools_py/magdyn.
• The code for the resolution plug-in module is in the folder magnon-plugin.

Compiling the Magnetic Dynamics GUI as Stand-Alone Program

• After having cloned the source repository (see Compiling Takin), go to the module's directory: cd takin/mag-core.
• Download the external libraries: ../setup/externals/setup_externals_mag.sh.
• Go to the GUI's directory: cd tools/magdyn/.
• Create a "build" directory: mkdir build && cd build.
• Build the binary: cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && make -j4.
• The stand-alone program can be launched via ./takin_magdyn.

Compiling the Magnetic Dynamics Plug-In Module

• After having cloned the source repository (see Compiling Takin), go to the plugin's directory: cd takin/magnon-plugin.
• Create a "build" directory: mkdir build && cd build.
• Build the plugin: cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && make -j4.
• Create Takin's plugin directory if needed: mkdir -p ~/.takin/plugins.
• Copy the plugin to the plugin directory:
  • On Mac: cp libmagnonmod.dylib ~/.takin/plugins/,
  • On Linux: cp libmagnonmod.so ~/.takin/plugins/.

Compiling the Magnetic Dynamics Python Package

• After having cloned the source repository (see Compiling Takin), go to the module's directory: cd takin/mag-core/tools_py/magdyn/.
• Create a "build" directory: mkdir build && cd build.
• Build the Python package: cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && make -j4.
• Install the Python package: sudo make install.
