tayral edd1ff4529 Restructuring documentation.
A first general restructuration of the doc according to the pattern [tour|tutorial|reference].
In the reference part, objects are documented per topic.
In each topic, [definition|c++|python|hdf5] (not yet implemented)

Writing you own C++ code with TRIQS
------------------------------------
Basically, this structure means that you have successfully installed TRIQS in
:file:`/home/triqs/install` and that you plan to have your new project under
:file:`/home/project`. Obviously you can choose any other directory but this
structure will be assumed below.
.. code-block :: bash
/home/triqs/install --> TRIQS is installed here
/home/project/src --> the sources of my project
/home/project/build --> the directory where I will compile my code
As we just said, we will start our project in a directory
:file:`/home/project`. We will have the sources in :file:`/home/project/src`
and later build (compile) the project in :file:`/home/project/build`. Let's
start by writing some sources:
.. code-block :: bash
$ cd /home
$ mkdir project
$ cd project
$ mkdir src
$ cd src
OK, our project will be just one :file:`main.cpp` file, e.g.::
#include <triqs/arrays.hpp>
using namespace triqs::arrays;
int main(){
array<double,1> A {1,2,3}, B{10,20,30}, C;
C = A+B;
std::cout << "C = "<< C << std::endl;
}
As you can see, the code includes headers from TRIQS. Along with
:file:`main.cpp` we write a :file:`CMakeLists.txt` file to compile our project.
In order to make this easy, there is a file called :file:`TRIQSConfig.cmake`
in :file:`/home/triqs/install/share/triqs/cmake`. Including this file in
your :file:`CMakeLists.txt` automatically defines a certain number of useful
variables, especially the include directories related to the TRIQS headers and
the location of the TRIQS libraries. Here is what your simple
:file:`CMakeLists.txt` can be:
.. code-block :: cmake
# Append triqs installed files to the cmake load path
list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${TRIQS_PATH}/share/triqs/cmake)
# Start configuration
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(myproj CXX)
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)
# Load TRIQS, including all predefined variables from TRIQS installation
find_package(TRIQS REQUIRED)
# Linking and include info
link_libraries(${TRIQS_LIBRARY_ALL})
include_directories(${TRIQS_INCLUDE_ALL})
# Create executable
add_executable(example main.cpp)
triqs_set_rpath_for_target(example)
We're all set! Everything is ready to compile our project. If we want to build
everything in :file:`/home/project/build`, we do as follows:
.. code-block :: bash
$ cd /home/project
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DTRIQS_PATH=/home/triqs/install /home/project/src
$ make
$ ./example
That's it! You can modify your sources and then recompile with make. Obviously
with bigger projects your :file:`CMakeLists.txt` file will change, but the
principle remains the same.
