[Alexander B Pacheco]

Dear All,

The next HPC training will be held on Wednesday, April. 9 at 10:00 AM CDT in 307 Frey and broadcast through Adobe Connect for remote users.

Wednesday, April 9, 2014: Make and Software Installation
Schedule:
Training Lecture: 10AM - 12:30 PM
Hands-On and Consultation: 1:30PM - 4PM
Registration Deadline: Noon on Apr 8, 2014
Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files (e.g. libraries) from the source files. It makes programmers' life much easier when it comes to managing a program with many source files. In this tutorial, we will cover the following topics through both presentation and hands-on exercises:

  *       how to write a makefile to handle dependencies among source files,
  *       how to build and install a program with Make,
  *       how to use macros with Make,
  *       how to build and install software packages that come bundled with configure scripts.

Prerequisites: This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge/experience with Make; however, working knowledge of shell scripting is required.
