This directory has source files to build a library that LAMMPS links against when using the POEMS package.

When you are done building this library, two files should exist in this directory:

libpoems.a the library LAMMPS will link against Makefile.lammps settings the LAMMPS Makefile will import

The latter file will have settings like this (can be omitted if blank):

poems_SYSINC = poems_SYSLIB = poems_SYSPATH =

SYSINC is for settings needed to compile LAMMPS source files SYSLIB is for additional system libraries needed by this package SYSPATH is the path(s) to where those libraries are

You must insure these settings are correct for your system, else the LAMMPS build will likely fail.

POEMS (Parallelizable Open source Efficient Multibody Software) library

Rudranarayan Mukherjee, RPI mukher at rpi.edu June 2006

---

This is version 1.0 of the POEMS library, general purpose distributed multibody dynamics software, which is able to simulate the dynamics of articulated body systems.

This library must be built with a C++ compiler, before LAMMPS is built, so LAMMPS can link against it.

Build the library using one of the provided Makefiles or creating your own, specific to your compiler and system. For example:

make -f Makefile.g++

If the build is successful, you should end up with a libpoems.a file.
