The SKIRT build procedure offers some options that can be easily adjusted. Locate the file ~/SKIRT/git/BuildUtils/BuildOptions.pri and open it in Qt Creator or in a plain text editor. Currently there are three build options:

  • BUILDING_GUI: by default, the SkirtMakeUp wizard is built only on Mac OS X (to avoid building it unnecessarily on Unix servers). To build the wizard on systems other than Mac OS X, remove the "macx:" prefix from the corresponding CONFIG line.

  • BUILDING_WITH_MPI: by default, the code is built with support for MPI parallelization when the host system offers MPI. To build without MPI support even on systems that offer MPI, precede the corresponding CONFIG line with a # comment character.

  • BUILDING_MEMORY: enables support for the "-l" command line option, which requests advanced logging of memory allocation/deallocation during a SKIRT simulation run. By default, support for this option is turned off.
