HEP System Administration

Go to this website:

http://cernlib.web.cern.ch/cernlib/version.html

Download the latest version, which is a bunch of tar.gz files. Do not unzip them. Put the files in /cernlib/code. Run the script provided by cern to unzip and make all the files.

Here is the last script that I used:

#!/bin/sh

# Unpack the source files and set up the build structure, e.g.
#  /tmp/cernlib/2003/src (and lib)

list=`ls src_*.gz`

for ffile in $list
do
  gunzip -c $ffile | tar xf -
done

# Establish the environment variables for the build procedures
# Depending on the system, other directories may need to be added to the PATH
# e.g. for the build tools and alternative compilers.

CERN_LEVEL=`gunzip -c Imakefile.tar.gz | tar tf - | awk -F/ '{print $1}'`

CERN=`pwd`
CERN_ROOT=$CERN/$CERN_LEVEL
CVSCOSRC=$CERN/$CERN_LEVEL/src
PATH=$CERN_ROOT/bin:$PATH

export CERN
export CERN_LEVEL
export CERN_ROOT 
export CVSCOSRC
export PATH

# Create the build directory structure

cd $CERN_ROOT
mkdir -p build bin lib build/log

# Create the top level Makefile with imake

cd $CERN_ROOT/build
$CVSCOSRC/config/imake_boot

# Install kuipc and the scripts (cernlib, paw and gxint) in $CERN_ROOT/bin

gmake bin/kuipc > log/kuipc 2>&1
gmake scripts/Makefile
cd scripts
gmake install.bin > ../log/scripts 2>&1

# Install the libraries

cd $CERN_ROOT/build
gmake > log/make.`date +%m%d` 2>&1
