marlintpc_local_installation

This page shows how to create you local MarlinTPC code repository and build MarlinTPC libraries

Copy the snapshot of the latest MarlinTPC repository from DESY server: Note that ILC collaboration uses Subversion (snv) code management/maintenance. Run below command from the directory you want to check out the MarlinTPC repository.

 > svn co https://svnsrv.desy.de/public/marlintpc/trunk MarlinTPC   

Replace /trunk with /tags/vXX-YY in the above command IF you need access a particular release. For example, v00-06, what is currently installed at Carleton.

Now you have to copy a couple of files to link your MarlinTPC directory to the local ILC software repository.

 > cd MarlinTPC 
 > cp /data/data021/mbatygov/Install/v01-17-05/ILCSoft.cmake .
 > cp /data/data021/mbatygov/Install/v01-17-05/init_ilcsoft.sh .

You have to edit both files to replace _all_ paths to MarlinTPC inside those files to point the path to your _local_ MarlinTPC directory. (If you don't do that, your MarlinTPC will always refer to the common MarlinTPC release.) Hint: There is 1 place to change the path in ILCSoft.cmake and 2 places in init_ilcsoft.sh.

Now you ready to compile your MarlinTPC code to build libraries.

In your MarlinTPC drectory do:

 > source init_ilcsoft.sh
 > mkdir build 
 > cd build
 > cmake -C ../ILCSoft.cmake ..

Now you have to compile, build and install your libraries.

 > make install

(Note, it would take a while, so, you can grab a cup of coffee while the process is running to completion).

All right, if you do not see anything suspicious on your screen - lines showing some errors, problems, etc. - that means your MarlinTPC code is ready do be used.
