Compiling with OpenMP#

Some of Vapor’s libraries have been optimized with the OpenMP API. To build Vapor with these optimizations, ensure that your compiler supports OpenMP, and enable the following flags through ccmake,or by passing the arguments into cmake.

Our team builds Vapor with OpenMP with LLVM 13+ and GCC 4.2+.

Manually setting flags with ccmake#

To generate an optimized release build with OpenMP, set the following fields with ccmake.

CPACK_BINARY_DRAGNDROP

ON

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE

Release

DIST_INSTALLER

ON

CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER

/path/to/your/c++/compiler

CMAKE_C_COMPILER

/path/to/your/c/compiler

USE_OMP

ON

Command line CMake build incantation#

Alternatively, cmake can apply these arguments through command-line arguments as follows:

cmake \
-DCPACK_BINARY_DRAGNDROP=ON \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:String=Release \
-DDIST_INSTALLER:string=ON \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/opt/local/bin/clang++ \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/opt/local/bin/clang \
-DUSE_OMP=ON .. \
&& make \
&& make installer \
