====== Compiling potfit - Examples ======
----
Here are some examples on how to compile //potfit// using the waf build system.

===  Cleaning up  ===

To remove all build artifacts from all previous builds use this command:

<code>./waf distclean</code>

===  Setting the options  ===

To compile //potfit// you have to know which options you want to enable. You can find a comprehensive list of all options [[options:main|here]].

Assuming you want a //potfit// binary to optimize EAM potentials and also include stress, you can build it using these commands:

<code>
./waf configure -i eam -m tab --enable-stress
./waf build
</code>

This should create a binary called ''potfit_tab_eam_mkl_stress'' in the bin/ folder.

====  Setting custom compiler flags  ====

To pass custom flags to the compiler, you can use the common environement variable ''CFLAGS''
during the configure stage:

<code>
CFLAGS="-fomit-frame-pointer" ./waf configure -i stiweb --enable-evo
./waf build
</code>
