The SimDist project integrates SLIC and its dependencies into one package.
Binaries built with this system can be obtained from the distribution download area.
These files are named according to the scheme.
slic-[version]-[platform]-[compiler]-[type].tar.gz
For instance, the file
slic-1_13_3-Linux-g++-bin.tar.gz
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.
wget http://www.lcsim.org/dist/slic/slic-1_13_3-Linux-g%2B%2B-bin.tar.gz
- Decompress it.
tar -zxvf slic-1_13_3-Linux-g++-bin.tar.gz
- Go into the SimDist directory and run the simulator.
cd SimDist ./scripts/slic.sh
Downloading and installing from a dist file is the easiest way to get SLIC up and running.
