Root-dependent package template
While writing simple macros or python scripts can be an effective way to quickly
get started with ROOT, cases frequently arise where it would be most effective
to create a library of compiled functions or even a compiled executable. Here is
the setup of a template package for compiling ROOT-dependent C++ classes and applications.
First, determine which ROOT installation you will use.
On lxplus5 (i.e., slc5 operating system), set environment variables with values like these:
export ROOTSYS=/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/app/releases/ROOT/5.22.00d/i686-slc5-gcc43-dbg/root
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ROOTSYS}/lib:/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/Python/2.5/i686-slc5-gcc43-opt/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export PATH=${ROOTSYS}/bin:/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/Python/2.5/i686-slc5-gcc43-opt/bin:${PATH}
export PYTHONPATH=$ROOTSYS/lib
- Create a directory where you will run ROOT and
cd
to it. - Download the
CompiledRootAnalysis
template package, e.g.,
wget http://mgwilson.web.cern.ch/mgwilson/Software/CompiledRootAnalysis_V01.tgz
tar -xzvf CompiledRootAnalysis_V01.tgz
- Edit the top of
CompiledRootAnalysis/scripts/RenamePackage.sh
with a new package name and namespace for the code in
your package; this will be denoted <package> below. CompiledRootAnalysis/scripts/RenamePackage.sh
cd <package>; gmake dylib; gmake apps; gmake setup; cd ..
