Adding Additional External Components For SST 7.0.x

Overview

These instructions are intended to walk the user through a detailed set of steps to build and install the optional external components used by SST. It is intended for users with intermediate knowledge in the operation of Unix/Linux/OSX environments.

NOTE: The following instructions assume the user has completed the basic build steps for SST outlined in Detailed Build and Installation Instructions for SST.

The SST Release Notes identify what operating systems, compiler and external component combinations have been tested and proven to work with SST.

NOTE: Using combinations other than what is identified in the Release Notes may cause build failures and/or unexpected results.

A detailed list of elements provided with the SST distribution are available at SST Element Summary and SST Element Release Matrix.

If you encounter difficulties, go to the SST Support page.

NOTE: Building SST and its External Components can sometimes be cumbersome and error prone due to the sheer number of combinations of operating systems, compiler versions and external required components. It is STRONGLY recommended that users closely follow these instructions.

General Build and Install Information

Refer to Detailed SST Build and Install Instructions for more information on system requirements, special instructions, example directories and additional tasks for users.
