Geant4 CLHEP GDML LCDD LCIO LCPhys Xerces C++ SLIC |
The SimDist CVS project provides a build system for these programs based on GNU Make and Autoconf. Users do not need to download and install each package manually (which can be a lengthy and tiresome process). SLIC can be built from scratch using the proto-typical "configure" and "make" commands, and it includes a run script for setting up runtime dependencies (basically just the Xerces library) and launching the program.
Warning |
---|
As of March 2006, SimDist is still a beta-level package, missing many planned features. |
Binaries
Binaries built with this system can be obtained from the distribution download area.

is version 1.13.3 for Linux, compiled with g++. The type can be "bin" or "dist". The "bin" downloads contain only those files necessary to run the simulator while "dist" additionally includes the complete set of libraries used to build the binary.
The process for installing a binary release for the aforementioned configuration is similar to this.
- Download the tarball using (for instance) the wget program.
No Format wget http://www.lcsim.org/dist/slic/slic-1_13_3-Linux-g%2B%2B-bin.tar.gz
- Decompress it.
No Format tar -zxvf slic-1_13_3-Linux-g++-bin.tar.gz
- Go into the SimDist directory and run the simulator.
No Format cd SimDist ./scripts/slic.sh
Downloading and installing from a dist file is the easiest way to get SLIC up and running.
