ihrivnac / VMCStepLogger

A facility to monitor step data of Virtual Monte Carlo simulation non-invasively.

MCStepLogger and MCReplay

Build and install with aliBuild

aliBuild can be used to setup the package. To obtain aliBuild and related packages, please follow https://alice-doc.github.io/alice-analysis-tutorial/building/. To build from the master branch, do

aliBuild init MCStepLogger@master --defaults o2
aliBuild build MCStepLogger --defaults o2

or use one of the available release tags.

After that, enter the environment with

alienv enter MCStepLogger/latest

and you are good to go.

Build and install without aliBuild

Dependencies are ROOT and Boost as well as CMake in order to build.

CMake (version >= 3.15.0) is used to build this project. Please install ROOT and Boost. For both the versions that should allow the built can be derived from alidist. After that just set the environment variables ROOTSYS and BOOST_ROOT to the root directories of the ROOT and Boost installations, respectively. Finally, run

mkdir -p $BUILD_DIR $INSTALL_DIR; cd $BUILD_DIR
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$INSTALL_DIR $MCSTEPLOGGER_SOURCE_DIR
make install

That leaves you with

• libraries at $INSTALL_DIR/lib
• headers at$INSTALL_DIR/include
• the executable $INSTALL_DIR/bin/mcStepAnalysis (usage explained here)

Additional options

• In order to disable the built of the MCReplay engine, pass -MCStepLogger_BUILD_MCReplay=OFF at configure time.
• To enable testing, pass -MCStepLogger_BUILD_TESTS=ON at configure time.
