Overview
The SimDist package that has been used to build SLIC and its dependencies for many years is now functionally obsolete. It should no longer be used. Instead of SimDist, SLIC can now be built using the ilcstall tool.
Preliminaries
The ilcinstall tool only requires a working installation of Python.
Getting ilcinstall
Obtaining and using that package is covered here.
You will just need a local installation of python to run it.
Building slic
Once you checkout ilcinstall anonymously from SVN following that website’s instructions, you should be able to build slic like this:
...
And change the value of the variable “ilcsoft_install_prefix” to your preferred installation directory.
Running slic
The Geant4 environment should be setup before running slic:
No Format |
---|
. /scratch/jeremym/slic/v00-00/geant4/9.6.p01/bin/geant4.sh
|
You can then run slic the binary as follows:
No Format |
---|
source /scratch/jeremym/slic/v00-00/init_ilcsoft.sh $SLIC/build/bin/slic [args] |
...
This build has been checked on a current version of OSX, as well as a few flavors of Linux. Currently, there is no native support for Windows.
Building Individual Packages
For example, to rebuild only LCDD:

---|
cd lcdd/HEAD/build
cmake ..
make clean install
