The easiest way to build the SLIC simulator package is using the SimDist CVS project.

Depending on your system speed, the entire build process will take around 2 hours, but starting the automated build only takes about 5 minutes.

Basic Build Procedures

If you want to execute each step of the build yourself, these are the commands used by the build script (covered in next section).

./configure [options]
make &> build.log &
tail -f build.log

The configure command can be modified with options. (see available options with './configure --help')

The last command will tail the log file, so that you can see the progress of your build.

Build Script

There is also a short bash script for running the buildOn a Unix-like system, execute the following in a bash shell.

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.freehep.org:/cvs/lcd co SimDist
cd SimDist
chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh

This will create the log files configure.log and build.log. The latter is "tailed" to check the progress of the build.

tail -f build.log

, which might be useful if your build fails.

Testing the Build

Try executing this script when the build completes.

./scripts/slic.sh

Depending on your system speed, the entire build process will take around 2 hours.

If there is an error running the slic binary using this script, then check your build log logs (starting at the top) for error messages.
