build pytrilinos using trilinos version already installed

I have access to a cluster where trilinos is already statically built.

Is it possible to build just pytrilinos myself linking to those libraries? or the only way is to built all of trilinos from source?

thanks!

Solution

My guess is: no.

The installation instructions for PyTrilinos mention that Trilinos should be built with shared libraries.

options -D Trilinos_ENABLE_PyTrilions:BOOL=ON and -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON.
