Hurricane WRF (HWRF) | Build And Install

Building the HWRF code

The HWRF system is composed of several components, and there is a top-level makefile that will build all of these components.

Get the source code

  • Begin by checking out your working branch of the code from the repository
    Checking out the code
  • Go to the source directory in your branch
    cd myproject/sorc

Compile

  • Using the default compiler for your platform (intel for x86, xlf for power)
    make
  • Enable debug mode for a component (e.g., WRF)
    make OPTIONS="-d WRF"
  • Using a different compiler (e.g., PGI on x86). Note: Older versions of HWRF supported the PGI compiler, but more recent versions can only be built using Intel.
    make OPTIONS="-c PGI"

Additional information about the various components can be found in the community release documentation:
