LCGCMake Installation Notes

This page documents my attempts to install the LCG software core on various non-traditional machines.

The basic installation instructions are here for a standard Scientific Linix CERN 6 installation: <html><b><a href=“http://ph-dep-sft.web.cern.ch/document/using-lcgcmake” target=“_blank”>LCGCMake SLC6 Installation </a></b></html>

Installing on Cooley@ALCF

Clean Cooley Login (nothing from .softrc.cooley)
Create working directory
- mkdir /path/to/lcg
- export $LCG_PROJECT_PATH=/path/to/lcg
- cd $LCG_PROJECT_PATH
- soft add +cmake
- soft add +gcc-4.8.1
Install Dependencies first:
- mkdir dependencies
- cd dependencies
- mkdir install
1. procmail
  - wget ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/procmail/procmail-3.22.tar.gz
  - tar zxf procmail-3.22.tar.gz
  - cd procmail-3.22
  - edit BASENAME in Makefile to be /path/to/lcg/dependencies/install
  - make lockfile CC=$(which gcc) CXX=$(which g++)
    - press enter when prompted
    - this only compiles lockfile because other parts of this package fail, but we don't need them.
  - cd ..
  - mkdir install/bin
  - ln -s $PWD/procmail-3.22/src/lockfile $PWD/install/bin/lockfile
2. libxml2 (link in first paragraph 'FTP')
  - wget ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.2.tar.gz
  - tar zxf libxml2-2.9.2.tar.gz
  - cd libxml2-2.9.2
  - ./configure –with-python –with-threads –prefix=/path/to/lcg/dependencies/install
  - make -j 10
  - make install
  - cd ..
3. xslt (bottom of page) (depends on libxml2)
  - git clone git://git.gnome.org/libxslt
  - cd libxslt
  - ./configure –with-python –with-libxml-prefix=/path/to/lcg/dependencies/install –prefix=/path/to/lcg/dependencies/install
  - make -j 10
  - make install
  - cd ..
4. export environment
  - export PATH=/path/to/lcg/dependencies/install/bin:$PATH
  - export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/lcg/dependencies/install/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

After the pythia8 packages download and fail to build, the Makefile's must be edited, the files lcgcmake-build/generators/pythia8-201/src/pythia8/201/Makefile have $(CXX_SONAME),$(notdir $@) which must be changed to -shared.
After evtgen package downloads and fails to build, the Makefile must be edited, the file lcgcmake-build/generators/evtgen-1.2.0/src/evtgen/1.2.0/Makefile have $(shell find … ) commands inside, Add -not -path '*/\.*' to the end of these finds.
