9 This is the Version 3.01 of the ALICE simulation and reconstruction
10 software. This code will be released after the May ALICE Offline
11 Meeting. It is intended to offer a general purpose framework for ALICE
12 simulation and reconstruction. The program should not be considered
13 complete, and we are relying on the feed-back from users to correct bugs
14 and provide improvements.
16 The simulation program is based on GEANT3.21. A special version of the
17 GEANT library and a mini-CERN Library are needed to run this code.
22 - Install ROOT and define the ROOTSYS symbol correctly.
24 - Decide in which directory you will install the ALICE sofware. We will
25 indicate it with <directory>
27 - Define the following global variables in the login script
31 ALICE_ROOT = $ALICE/$ALICE_LEVEL
32 ALICE_TARGET = `uname`
33 LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $LD_LIBRARY_PATH\:$ALICE_ROOT/lib (on all systems)
34 SHLIB_PATH = $SHLIB_PATH\:$ALICE_ROOT/lib (on hpux)
35 PATH = $PATH\:$ALICE_ROOT/bin
37 At this point you should logout, login again and check that the symbols are
40 - Get the file /afs/cern.ch/alice/offline/AliOffline3.01.tar.gz
45 $ gtar xvfz AliOffline3.01.tar.gz
47 - install the CERN library part
52 - Install the ALICE specific software
57 - Copy the file $ALICE_ROOT/.rootrc to your home directory
66 Notice for Linux users
67 ======================
69 AliRoot requires the compiler system egcs 1.1.1 or later. Unfortunately the
70 location of the include files is dependent on the compiler version on Linux.
71 While g++ knows the location of the files relative to its own version, but
72 this is not the case for the makedepend, that should be told where include
73 files are. This is accomplished by the DEPINC variable in the file
76 In case several error message appear during the make phase, complaining for
77 include files not found, the list of include directories in DEPINC should
78 be compared with the standard list of the compiler, that can be found out
79 with the following commands:
84 and looking at the output between the lines:
