Adjust the MKLROOT path to your actual Intel MKL installation. Step 4: Compilation – The Two-Step Process VASP 5.4.4 has a two-stage build: first the preprocess executable, then the main code. Clean previous builds make veryclean Build the standard version (production) make std This creates vasp_std in the parent directory. Wait 5–30 minutes depending on your CPU. Build additional variants (optional but useful) make gam # For gamma-only calculations (faster for molecules/clusters) make ncl # For non-collinear magnetism / spin-orbit coupling After successful compilation, you should see: vasp 5.4.4 installation
