DACEx

DACEx extends the DACE library to additional polynomial families.

Requirements

• CMake >= 3.15
• A C++17 compiler
• DACE installed or built locally

DACE Setup

DACEx depends on DACE. You can build DACE as per the instructions on the Wiki:

git clone https://github.com/dacelib/dace.git dace
cmake -S dace -B dace-build
cmake --build dace-build
cmake --install dace-build

First-Time Build (Recommended)

Build is currently only configured for windows.

Windows (Visual Studio 2022, x64)

Always use x64 unless you intentionally built a 32-bit DACE.

if (Test-Path _build) { Remove-Item -Recurse -Force _build }
cmake -S . -B _build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -T host=x64
cmake --build _build --config Debug -j

Run examples:

.\_build\bin\Debug\DACEx_Gaussian_example.exe
.\_build\bin\Debug\DACEx_Gaussian_2D_example.exe

DACE Discovery Notes

DACEx tries, in order:

1. find_package(dace CONFIG)
2. Common local roots such as ~/dace-install and ~/dace-build
3. Manual overrides via CMake cache variables

Notes

• DACEX_FETCH_DACE is OFF by default. DACEx will not auto-install DACE unless explicitly enabled.
• On Windows, DACEx blocks Win32 by default (DACEX_ALLOW_WIN32=OFF) because most users have x64 DACE binaries.
