 meep (electromagnetic FDTD solver)

-electromagnetics simulation via the finite-difference
-time-domain (FDTD) method spanning a broad range of
-applications.
+Meep is a free and open-source software package for electromagnetics 
+simulation via the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method spanning 
+a broad range of applications. It saves results in hdf5 format.
 
-You may wish to preinstall: harminv, mpb
+This package requires: hdf5, libctl, lapack, mpb
+
+You probably will also want to preinstall: harminv
 
 You may wish to also install: h5utils
 
-If the build script can find the ATLAS libraries, it will
-adapt the configure options to use them rather than the
-default lapack.
+You very probably want to build a multi-processor version of this 
+code by adding the "--with-openmp" configure option. Here, mpb is 
+specified as a prerequisite since at the present time the python 
+interface will not build without it.
+
+
+
+Configuration:
+
+If the build script can find the ATLAS libraries, it will adapt the configure 
+options to use them, rather than the the default choice of lapack. 
+
+You can add additional options to the command line using the environment 
+variable SBOPTIONS_MEEP; e.g. to enable MPI (multi-processor calculation) 
+using openmp, use:
+
+SBOPTIONS_MEEP="--with-openmp" ./meep.Slackbuild
+
+Alternatively, if building non-interactively (e.g. if using slpkg), use/create  
+the file /etc/sbo_pkg_options.conf since this slackbuild script will search it 
+for options. Simply include a line starting "meep:" followed by options, e.g.:
+
+meep: --with-openmp
+
+Currently, building the python support for meep can be problematic unless 
+the mpb package is also installed; if you do so, and (e.g.) use openmp, it is 
+best to build mpb with the same option. You may also need to install mpi4py
+using pip.  If you do not want python support, specify "--without-python", 
+and in this case installing mpb is not necessary.
