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
cd
to it.CompiledRootAnalysis
template package, e.g.,wget http://mgwilson.web.cern.ch/mgwilson/Software/CompiledRootAnalysis_V01.tgz
tar -xzvf CompiledRootAnalysis_V01.tgz
CompiledRootAnalysis/scripts/RenamePackage.sh
with a new package name and namespace for the code inCompiledRootAnalysis/scripts/RenamePackage.sh
cd <package>; gmake shlib; gmake apps; gmake setup; cd ..
make dylib; make macapps
