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

• E.g. env_gluex_pmatt_2014_07_17

Release-Specific Environment Setup

• E.g. env_gluex_2014_06_30_rhel6

Base Environment

env_gluex_base
