This is a C++ project build with Cmake. It runs a complete search to generate CSS codes at give size n, where n is the number of physical qubits.
see Makefile. All necessary cmds is put in Makefile. One can simply run make. Specifically, make build will build the project, make run or make srun will run the script.
This project utilize the itpp package, which is for Information Technology. It has nice functions with binary calculations. All vector, matrices can be saved in binary format. All matrix algebra and gaussian ellimination are modula 2.
doc page: https://itpp.sourceforge.net/4.3.1/installation.html
recommended installation is to install it as a statice library, then put the libitpp.so file into lib folder. The header files were already in the include folder.
Steps to Compile and install IT++ library as static library:
# download the package and untar it to folder, e.g. $HOME/itpp-4.3.0
cd $HOME/itpp-4.3.0
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/it++4.3.0 -DBLA_STATIC=on -DITPP_SHARED_LIB=off
make && make install
# then find the installed file, and copy it to the folder we want to use.
mv $HOME/it++4.3.0/lib/libitpp.so folder/of/your/workspace
mv $HOME/it++4.3.0/lib/* folder/of/your/workspace/lib
more detail on the installed files: The `bin` folder has `itpp-config` cmd to tell you where the lib is installed, which is the current folder. This is used in the case where all project based on itpp with be pointed to this repo. But since we already copy the file to the workspace folder, we don't need this script. The `include` folder has the header files that should be put into the `include` folder for all projects. This is already done. When you start a brandly new project with itpp, you need to copies these files, or put it in a global folder, e.g. `$HOME/.local/include`.
