+
+2. Set the environment variable ALICE_ROOT to point to the source you have checked out
+
+ cd AliRoot
+ export ALICE_ROOT=`pwd`
+
+
+3. Create a new folder where the build will take place. It must be different from the source directory!
+
+ cd ..
+ mkdir objdir
+ cd objdir
+
+4. Optionally specify the place for installation using the environment variable ALICE_INSTALL.
+It you do not specify it, "make install" will put lib, bin and include in ALICE_ROOT
+
+5. Optionally specify the location of Geant3 using the environment variable GEANT3DIR
+
+6. Execute the following commands to configure the build
+
+ cmake $ALICE_ROOT
+
+
+Note: Some files CMakeLists.txt will be created in the source tree, so you need write access there. This
+is a temporary situation that will change soon.
+
+ 6a.Run
+ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG $ALICE_ROOT
+ to compile AliRoot in Debug configuration (-g compiler flags).
+
+ To change the configuration later on you can either
+ edit cache variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE using 'ccmake' command ('None' value for default configuration),
+
+ or setup default configuration (-O -g flags are setting up) by running
+ cmake $ALICE_ROOT
+
+ 6b. To compile AliRoot in Release mode (-03 flag) run
+ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release $ALICE_ROOT
+
+ 6c. Command
+ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelRelWithDebInfo $ALICE_ROOT
+ allows to compile AliRoot with -g -O2 options.
