1. Overview
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ...). Actually, the BASE and SampleLib modules are
not dependend on AliRoot. The TPCLib does.
-To set up a version retrieved from CVS, autoconf 2.57, automake 1.6
+To set up a version retrieved from SVN, autoconf 2.57, automake 1.6
,and libtool 1.4 or higher versions are required. Thats the versions
which come with the Scientific Linux CERN 3. The same applies if
you want to change the Makefiles.
If your GNU build tools are too old, ask the maintainers for a distributed
package.

==========================================
Skip this section if you have started from the tar ball.
-A version checked out from CVS requires a few steps to set up the Makefiles.
+A version checked out from SVN requires a few steps to set up the Makefiles.
Go to the directory and run
autoreconf -i -f
Some important options (all options are on by default):
--disable-sample # disable compilation the sample library
+ --disable-util # disable compilation the util library
--disable-tpc # disable compilation the TPC library
--disable-phos # disable compilation the PHOS library
--disable-trd # disable compilation the TRD library
+ --disable-dimuon # disable compilation the MUON library
--disable-aliroot-logging # disable logging
+ --disable-doc # disable creation of doxygen documentation
+ --disable-strict # disable strict coding conventions and compilation flags
+
+All detector libraries (including sample and util lib) require AliRoot,
+compilation is disabled if no working AliRoot version was found. This can
+occur even if an AliRoot version is set up correctly since the configure
+script checks for the usability of the AliRoot libraries (mainly STEER and
+the ones it depends on). If new dependencies are introduced, the check
+might fail.
+
+Compilation of detector libraries can be forced by the switch
+
+ --enable-detector, e.g. --enable-phos
+
+Compilation can also be forced by typing 'make' in the detector
+sub-directory.
+
Debugging (default disabled)
--enable-debug # enable debugging: symbols & messages
8. Reporting bugs/Asking for support
====================================
-Please include the following information into your request:
+Please include the following information into your report/request:
- config.log from your build directory
- output of the make process. Note: Redirect BOTH the stdout and stderr
channel to a log file. Redirection depends on the shell you are using: <br>
- history of the commands you are using for compilation
history > history.log
-9. Committing to the AliRoot CVS
+9. Committing to the AliRoot SVN
================================
For development of HLT analysis code check out a HEAD version from the
repository and implement your code.
For committing do:
- 1. make sure that the code changes are correct <br><tt>
- cvs diff | less </tt><br>
+ svn diff | less </tt><br>
\b Remember to restore all temporary changes you made (e.g. log level)
- - 2. cvs update
+ - 2. svn update
- 3. correct merging conflicts
- 4. compile and test your code again
- - 5. send the whole HLT module except the build sub-directories to
+ - 5. depending on where you changes are send the whole HLT module except the build
+ sub-directories or your HLT sub- directory to
Matthias.Richter@ift.uib.no
+ Please include a message/description for the check in
- 6. you will get a notification when the code is committed, right after that
- you must either do another cvs update or check out the complete module
- again in order to have the right CVS information.
