Offline Software Overview

Required Lab-External Software

• GSL: Homepage, Source Tarballs
• Xerces: Homepage, Source Tarballs
• CERNLib: Homepage, CERNLib Installation Notes, OpenMotif
• CLHEP: Homepage, Source Tarballs
• ROOT: Homepage, Source Tarballs (e.g. root_v5.34.19.source.tar.gz), Installing from Source

Required Lab-Internal Software

• CCDB: Tagged Releases, Trunk
• HDDS: Tagged Releases, Trunk
• JANA: Downloads, Tagged Releases, Trunk
• Hall-D sim-recon: Tagged Releases, Trunk
• Hall-D scripts: Trunk

Optional Software

• AmpTools:

Build Dependencies

• If you re-build one of the following, you must also rebuild (in order):

Xerces: HDDS, JANA, sim-recon
ROOT: JANA, sim-recon
CCDB: JANA, sim-recon
HDDS: sim-recon
JANA: sim-recon
EVIO: sim-recon

Environment

• There should be three levels for the software environment: user-specific, release-specific, and base. For best-practice, environment variables should NEVER EVER (!!) be put in your .cshrc (or equivalent) file. This is because if you ever need to switch between environments (e.g. between a "data challenge" release and the latest trunk) it gets very messy and it's very easy to make a mistake. It's far safer (and cleaner) to keep everything separate. Ignore this at your own peril ...

User-Specific Environment Setup

• This is so that users can link against a centrally-managed release. For example, they can define their $HALLD_MY variable here, which specifies where their plugins are installed. This should call the desired release-specific build. For example, env_gluex_user.csh:

# Set personal path (This usually corresponds to the home area of the trunk (e.g. https://halldsvn.jlab.org/repos/trunk/home/pmatt/))
setenv HALLD_MY /home/$USER/gluex/home/$USER/

# Source the release environment
source /home/gluex/env_gluex_2014_06_30_rhel6

• Also, advanced users (e.g. developers) can use this to override the release-specific variables (e.g. A test build of sim-recon ($HALLD_HOME)). For example, env_gluex_development.csh:

# (FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY): Override release-specific HALLD_HOME (or other software paths) for custom (i.e. development) builds.
setenv HALLD_HOME /home/$USER/gluex/sim-recon/development/

# Source the release environment
source /home/gluex/env_gluex_2014_06_30_rhel6

Release-Specific Environment Setup

• For each coherent release of the software, an environment file should be used to specify the versions/paths to all of the software used. For example, env_gluex_2014_06_30_rhel6:

#!/bin/csh -f
