HOWTO use a pre-built release
From GlueXWiki
If you have access to a pre-built version of the GlueX, you can use it without having to check out and build the entire set of sources.
Find a compatible version
First determine your identifying tag. The identifying tag contains the operating system, the architecture, and the version of gcc you are using. To do this get a version of the script osrelease.pl
and execute it. For example:
svn co https://halldsvn.jlab.org/repos/trunk/scripts/build_scripts A build_scripts/clhep_env.csh ... A build_scripts/osrelease.pl ... A build_scripts/Makefile_cernlib U build_scripts > build_scripts/osrelease.pl Linux_Fedora12-i686-gcc4.4.3
or if you are on the JLab CUE:
> /group/halld/Software/scripts/build_scripts/osrelease.pl Linux_RHEL5-i686-gcc4.1.2
This tells you the identifying tag for the build you want (in the last case Linux_RHEL5-i686-gcc4.1.2
). If the build in question is built for your machine, it will contain a directory with this name in the bin
and lib
directories.
On the JLab CUE, these versions are built in the directory /group/halld/Software/builds/sim-recon
.
Set your HALLD environment variables
- Set
HALLD_HOME
to point to the sim-recon root directory (the one that contains src, lib, bin, and include). - Set
HALLD_MY
to a directory of your choice, one for which you have write privileges.
