From Zero to SiD

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 1.6 or greater
• Maven 3.0.
• QT
• CERNLIB
•  

all modified scripts can be found in this tarball (to be added)

Preparation

Prepare an area:

mkdir /scratch/sid_complete
cd /scratch/sid_complete

then get the most "recent" CERNLIB from here

install the CERNLIB in therein the folder /scratch/sid_complete/cernlib2006

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

tar -xzvf ilctools-v01-17-02.tar.gz
cd v01-17-02
cd releases/v01-17/

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.

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

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

next thing is installing Maven 3.0.4 from the web

Then get the lcsim packages via CVS

cd /scratch/sid_complete
mkdir lcsim
cd lcsim

cp /scratch/sid_complete/myscripts/build_lcsim.sh .
./build_lcsim.sh

This will check out  everything from the lcsim repository, set the path to Maven correctly  and build the lcsim distribution
