<span id="Installation-on-Unix-1"></span><h3 class="section">10.1 Installation on Unix</h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>FFTW comes with a <code>configure</code> program in the GNU style.
 | 
						|
Installation can be as simple as:
 | 
						|
<span id="index-configure-2"></span>
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<div class="example">
 | 
						|
<pre class="example">./configure
 | 
						|
make
 | 
						|
make install
 | 
						|
</pre></div>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>This will build the uniprocessor complex and real transform libraries
 | 
						|
along with the test programs.  (We recommend that you use GNU
 | 
						|
<code>make</code> if it is available; on some systems it is called
 | 
						|
<code>gmake</code>.)  The “<code>make install</code>” command installs the fftw
 | 
						|
and rfftw libraries in standard places, and typically requires root
 | 
						|
privileges (unless you specify a different install directory with the
 | 
						|
<code>--prefix</code> flag to <code>configure</code>).  You can also type
 | 
						|
“<code>make check</code>” to put the FFTW test programs through their paces.
 | 
						|
If you have problems during configuration or compilation, you may want
 | 
						|
to run “<code>make distclean</code>” before trying again; this ensures that
 | 
						|
you don’t have any stale files left over from previous compilation
 | 
						|
attempts.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<p>The <code>configure</code> script chooses the <code>gcc</code> compiler by default,
 | 
						|
if it is available; you can select some other compiler with:
 | 
						|
</p><div class="example">
 | 
						|
<pre class="example">./configure CC="<span class="roman"><i><the name of your C compiler></i></span>"
 | 
						|
</pre></div>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The <code>configure</code> script knows good <code>CFLAGS</code> (C compiler flags)
 | 
						|
<span id="index-compiler-flags"></span>
 | 
						|
for a few systems.  If your system is not known, the <code>configure</code>
 | 
						|
script will print out a warning.  In this case, you should re-configure
 | 
						|
FFTW with the command
 | 
						|
</p><div class="example">
 | 
						|
<pre class="example">./configure CFLAGS="<span class="roman"><i><write your CFLAGS here></i></span>"
 | 
						|
</pre></div>
 | 
						|
<p>and then compile as usual.  If you do find an optimal set of
 | 
						|
<code>CFLAGS</code> for your system, please let us know what they are (along
 | 
						|
with the output of <code>config.guess</code>) so that we can include them in
 | 
						|
future releases.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<p><code>configure</code> supports all the standard flags defined by the GNU
 | 
						|
Coding Standards; see the <code>INSTALL</code> file in FFTW or
 | 
						|
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/index.html">the GNU web page</a>.
 | 
						|
Note especially <code>--help</code> to list all flags and
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-shared</code> to create shared, rather than static, libraries.
 | 
						|
<code>configure</code> also accepts a few FFTW-specific flags, particularly:
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<ul>
 | 
						|
<li> <span id="index-precision-9"></span>
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-float</code>: Produces a single-precision version of FFTW
 | 
						|
(<code>float</code>) instead of the default double-precision (<code>double</code>).
 | 
						|
See <a href="Precision.html">Precision</a>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li><li> <span id="index-precision-10"></span>
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-long-double</code>: Produces a long-double precision version of
 | 
						|
FFTW (<code>long double</code>) instead of the default double-precision
 | 
						|
(<code>double</code>).  The <code>configure</code> script will halt with an error
 | 
						|
message if <code>long double</code> is the same size as <code>double</code> on your
 | 
						|
machine/compiler.  See <a href="Precision.html">Precision</a>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li><li> <span id="index-precision-11"></span>
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-quad-precision</code>: Produces a quadruple-precision version
 | 
						|
of FFTW using the nonstandard <code>__float128</code> type provided by
 | 
						|
<code>gcc</code> 4.6 or later on x86, x86-64, and Itanium architectures,
 | 
						|
instead of the default double-precision (<code>double</code>).  The
 | 
						|
<code>configure</code> script will halt with an error message if the
 | 
						|
compiler is not <code>gcc</code> version 4.6 or later or if <code>gcc</code>’s
 | 
						|
<code>libquadmath</code> library is not installed.  See <a href="Precision.html">Precision</a>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li><li> <span id="index-threads-3"></span>
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-threads</code>: Enables compilation and installation of the
 | 
						|
FFTW threads library (see <a href="Multi_002dthreaded-FFTW.html">Multi-threaded FFTW</a>), which provides a
 | 
						|
simple interface to parallel transforms for SMP systems.  By default,
 | 
						|
the threads routines are not compiled.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li><li> <code>--enable-openmp</code>: Like <code>--enable-threads</code>, but using OpenMP
 | 
						|
compiler directives in order to induce parallelism rather than
 | 
						|
spawning its own threads directly, and installing an ‘<samp>fftw3_omp</samp>’ library
 | 
						|
rather than an ‘<samp>fftw3_threads</samp>’ library (see <a href="Multi_002dthreaded-FFTW.html">Multi-threaded FFTW</a>).  You can use both <code>--enable-openmp</code> and <code>--enable-threads</code>
 | 
						|
since they compile/install libraries with different names.  By default,
 | 
						|
the OpenMP routines are not compiled.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li><li> <code>--with-combined-threads</code>: By default, if <code>--enable-threads</code>
 | 
						|
is used, the threads support is compiled into a separate library that
 | 
						|
must be linked in addition to the main FFTW library.  This is so that
 | 
						|
users of the serial library do not need to link the system threads
 | 
						|
libraries.  If <code>--with-combined-threads</code> is specified, however,
 | 
						|
then no separate threads library is created, and threads are included
 | 
						|
in the main FFTW library.  This is mainly useful under Windows, where
 | 
						|
no system threads library is required and inter-library dependencies
 | 
						|
are problematic.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li><li> <span id="index-MPI-1"></span>
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-mpi</code>: Enables compilation and installation of the FFTW
 | 
						|
MPI library (see <a href="Distributed_002dmemory-FFTW-with-MPI.html">Distributed-memory FFTW with MPI</a>), which provides
 | 
						|
parallel transforms for distributed-memory systems with MPI.  (By
 | 
						|
default, the MPI routines are not compiled.)  See <a href="FFTW-MPI-Installation.html">FFTW MPI Installation</a>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li><li> <span id="index-Fortran_002dcallable-wrappers"></span>
 | 
						|
<code>--disable-fortran</code>: Disables inclusion of legacy-Fortran
 | 
						|
wrapper routines (see <a href="Calling-FFTW-from-Legacy-Fortran.html">Calling FFTW from Legacy Fortran</a>) in the standard
 | 
						|
FFTW libraries.  These wrapper routines increase the library size by
 | 
						|
only a negligible amount, so they are included by default as long as
 | 
						|
the <code>configure</code> script finds a Fortran compiler on your system.
 | 
						|
(To specify a particular Fortran compiler <i>foo</i>, pass
 | 
						|
<code>F77=</code><i>foo</i> to <code>configure</code>.)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li><li> <code>--with-g77-wrappers</code>: By default, when Fortran wrappers are
 | 
						|
included, the wrappers employ the linking conventions of the Fortran
 | 
						|
compiler detected by the <code>configure</code> script.  If this compiler is
 | 
						|
GNU <code>g77</code>, however, then <em>two</em> versions of the wrappers are
 | 
						|
included: one with <code>g77</code>’s idiosyncratic convention of appending
 | 
						|
two underscores to identifiers, and one with the more common
 | 
						|
convention of appending only a single underscore.  This way, the same
 | 
						|
FFTW library will work with both <code>g77</code> and other Fortran
 | 
						|
compilers, such as GNU <code>gfortran</code>.  However, the converse is not
 | 
						|
true: if you configure with a different compiler, then the
 | 
						|
<code>g77</code>-compatible wrappers are not included.  By specifying
 | 
						|
<code>--with-g77-wrappers</code>, the <code>g77</code>-compatible wrappers are
 | 
						|
included in addition to wrappers for whatever Fortran compiler
 | 
						|
<code>configure</code> finds.
 | 
						|
<span id="index-g77"></span>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li><li> <code>--with-slow-timer</code>: Disables the use of hardware cycle counters,
 | 
						|
and falls back on <code>gettimeofday</code> or <code>clock</code>.  This greatly
 | 
						|
worsens performance, and should generally not be used (unless you don’t
 | 
						|
have a cycle counter but still really want an optimized plan regardless
 | 
						|
of the time).  See <a href="Cycle-Counters.html">Cycle Counters</a>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li><li> <code>--enable-sse</code> (single precision),
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-sse2</code> (single, double),
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-avx</code> (single, double),
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-avx2</code> (single, double),
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-avx512</code> (single, double),
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-avx-128-fma</code>,
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-kcvi</code> (single),
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-altivec</code> (single),
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-vsx</code> (single, double),
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-neon</code> (single, double on aarch64),
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-generic-simd128</code>,
 | 
						|
and
 | 
						|
<code>--enable-generic-simd256</code>:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Enable various SIMD instruction sets.  You need compiler that supports
 | 
						|
the given SIMD extensions, but FFTW will try to detect at runtime
 | 
						|
whether the CPU supports these extensions.  That is, you can compile
 | 
						|
with<code>--enable-avx</code> and the code will still run on a CPU without AVX
 | 
						|
support.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<ul class="no-bullet">
 | 
						|
<li>- These options require a compiler supporting SIMD extensions, and
 | 
						|
compiler support is always a bit flaky: see the FFTW FAQ for a list of
 | 
						|
compiler versions that have problems compiling FFTW.
 | 
						|
</li><li>- Because of the large variety of ARM processors and ABIs, FFTW
 | 
						|
does not attempt to guess the correct <code>gcc</code> flags for generating
 | 
						|
NEON code.  In general, you will have to provide them on the command line.
 | 
						|
This command line is known to have worked at least once:
 | 
						|
<div class="example">
 | 
						|
<pre class="example">./configure --with-slow-timer --host=arm-linux-gnueabi \
 | 
						|
  --enable-single --enable-neon \
 | 
						|
  "CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=softfp"
 | 
						|
</pre></div>
 | 
						|
</li></ul>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</li></ul>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<span id="index-compiler-2"></span>
 | 
						|
<p>To force <code>configure</code> to use a particular C compiler <i>foo</i>
 | 
						|
(instead of the default, usually <code>gcc</code>), pass <code>CC=</code><i>foo</i> to the 
 | 
						|
<code>configure</code> script; you may also need to set the flags via the variable
 | 
						|
<code>CFLAGS</code> as described above.
 | 
						|
