Code_Saturne Update

[frpageot]

Hello,

I am still running with version 4.0.0 of CS on my computer. I am satisfied with this, but I would like to know if there is any quick way to update to the last version of the 4.0.x without reinstalling everything ? Thanks.

Hello,

You only need to reinstall the code, not its prerequisites, and use the same directory structure, but there is otherwise no "easy way".

In may case, I usually untar the new version side by side with the previous version (assuming you want the bug-fix version 4.0.5, not the dev version 4.2.1), cd to the build directory, copy/paste the beginning of the config.log (changing simply ../code-saturne.4.0.0/configure to ../code-saturne.4.0.5/configure for example), type enter fo the configure stage to re-run, then run "make clean && make && make install". This is pretty quick, and "almost" automatic (at least it does not require hard thought).

This assumes you kept the build directory in place...

Regards,

Yvan

Thanks Yvan clearly this is not really difficult. I just did it and I am running with CS4.0.5 now.
