How to Run SiD Sim and Reco on your desktop/laptop ?
First of all, you need a recent linux box with the following ingredients
- C/C++ Compiler gcc 4.4 or greater
- Java 7 (Java 6 may still work but)
- CVS
- SVN
- Latex2html
I've used
- OpenSuse 12.3 x86-64 with gcc 4.7.2 and Java OpenJDK 1.7.0_21
- SL 6.4 x86-64 with gcc 4.4.7 and Java OpenJDK 1.7.0_25
- SL 6.4 x86-64 with gcc 4.4.7 and Java OpenJDK 1.7.0_25
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with gcc 4.6.3 and Java OpenJDK 1.7.0_55
all modified scripts can be found in this tarball
Bugs reported by Alex Finch:
/sid_complete/v01-17-02-sid/KalDet/v01-12/kern/EXVKalDetector.h
virtual Double_t GetBfield (const TVector3 &xx = TVector3()) const
which won't compile with latest ROOT versions. The ROOT release note were updated at my request to indicate this.
Preparation
Prepare an area:
mkdir /scratch/sid_complete cd /scratch/sid_complete
then get the most "recent" CERNLIB from here, you needs the libs and the includes, be careful to have the libs for your architecture
install the CERNLIB in therein the folder /scratch/sid_complete/cernlib2006 with two subfolders
- lib
- include
I have used symbolic links to set this up
ln -s 2006b/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/lib lib ln -s 2006b/include/ include
unpack the scripts into the myscripts area
tar -xzvf myscripts.tar.gz
ILCSOFT installation
Get ilcinstall from here: ilcinstall
I've used : v01-17-02
mkdir ilcinstall cd ilcinstall tar -xzvf ilctools-v01-17-02.tar.gz
there are two scripts .... release-version.py (that needs to be adapted) and release-sid.cfg, which does contain all the packages you'll need for running SiD software. the adapted scripts are in the myscripts Folder
cd /scratch/sid_complete cp myscripts/release-sid.cfg ilcinstall/v01-17-02/releases/v01-17/ cp myscripts/release-versions.py ilcinstall/v01-17-02/releases/v01-17/
you can test the installation with the -p switch and you can run it with the -i switch
cd v01-17-02 ./ilcsoft-install -p releases/v01-17/release-sid.cfg ./ilcsoft-install -i releases/v01-17/release-sid.cfg
You can speed uop the compilation by changing this from -j2 to -j8 on a multi-core machine
# global options ilcsoft.env["MAKEOPTS"]="-j2"
Now it's time to grab a coffee...
Known features/problems
- check for lib/lib64 fails, this is true for the following packages:Xerces, Fastjet,HepPDT
Fix ln -s lib64 lib Problems in FastJet 2.4.2 compilation
fix in 2.4.2/FastJet/include/fastjet/internal/ClusterSequence_N2.icc 109c109 > if (jetA < jetB) {std::swap(jetA,jetB);} --- < if (jetA < jetB) {swap(jetA,jetB);} 2.4.2/FastJet/include/fastjet/NNH.hh Line 266 if (jetA < jetB) std::swap(jetA,jetB); Line 270 change to this->init_jet(jetB, jet, index);
LCSIM installation
First get the JAS 3.0.3 from here , it contains a handy LCIO browser and the Wired Event display
unpack it in sid_complete area
tar -xzvf jas-assembly-3.0.3-distribution.tar.gz
next thing is installing Maven 3.0.5 from the web , unpack and add the path
tar -xzvf apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz export PATH=$PATH:/scratch/sid_complete/apache-maven-3.0.5/bin
Then get the lcsim packages via CVS
cd /scratch/sid_complete mkdir lcsim cd lcsim cp /scratch/sid_complete/myscripts/build-lcsim.sh . source ./build-lcsim.sh
This will check out everything from the lcsim repository, set the path to Maven correctly and build the lcsim distribution, this is a lot faster than the first step
SLICPandora Installation
this is done using another script
cp myscripts/build_slicpandora.sh . source ./build_slicpandora.sh
Note:
in the current cvs version (23/07/13), there are two bugs
diff \-r1.13 CMakeLists.txt 27,28c27,28 < FIND_PACKAGE( PandoraSDK REQUIRED ) < FIND_PACKAGE( FineGranularityContent REQUIRED ) \--\- > FIND_PACKAGE( PandoraPFANew REQUIRED ) > #FIND_PACKAGE( FineGranularityContent REQUIRED ) 32c32 < FOREACH( pkg LCIO PandoraSDK ) \--\- > FOREACH( pkg LCIO PandoraPFANew ) and then there was one difficulty in diff -r1.4 MCParticleProcessor.cpp 63c63 mcParticleParameters.m_mcParticleType = pandora::MC_STANDARD; \--\- > //mcParticleParameters.m_mcParticleType = pandora::MC_STANDARD;
this has been reported
that's it, you're done, now up to actually running a few events ?! Continue reading here

Minor note, perhaps want to add something like this for clarity

New version is v01-17-06.
If you don't have /afs/ it needs some additional setup. There is no sid install config any longer.
in ilcsoft-install, change the first line from #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/bin/env python
Modify release-versions.py to point to the software that is right for your system. This might need an iterative approach.
The installation requires a two-step process:
a) release-base.cfg
-- mods needed:
--- CMAKE: edit ${prefix}/ilcsoft/CMake/2.8.5/CMake/Source/CursesDialog/CMakeLists.txt and add the line
(just below other
target_link_librariescommands)(solution found here: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/81115/centos-cmake-does-not-install-using-gcc-4-7-2 )
--- CondDBMySQL: I have not been able to get this to work. comment out the relevant line in release-base.cfg
--- FastJet: Version 2.4.2 that is installed by default did not compile for me with gcc 4.7.2. Change the version in release-versions.py to 2.4.5
b) release-ilcsoft.cfg
See this message for how to configure your build scripts: http://forum.linearcollider.org/index.php?t=tree&goto=2362&rid=54&S=d8c01c65f3f6123c1bf05312c34a419f#page_top
Alternatively, if cvmfs is installed, one could source /cvmfs/ilc.desy.de/sw/x86_64_gcc44_sl6/v01-17-06/init_ilcsoft.sh
In that case, slic has to be installed by copying the relevant directory from cvmfs to the local disk and building it with cmake.
Example:
cp cvmfs/ilc.desy.de/sw/x86_64_gcc44_sl6/v01-17-06/slic/v04-00 ${HOME}/slic
cd ${HOME}/slic
mkdir build; cd build
cmake -C $ILCSOFT/ILCSoft.cmake ..
make install
This has been reported and will be fixed in future versions.
