8 This is the Version 3.01 of the ALICE simulation and reconstruction
9 software. This code will be released after the May ALICE Offline
10 Meeting. It is intended to offer a general purpose framework for ALICE
11 simulation and reconstruction. The program should not be considered
12 complete, and we are relying on the feed-back from users to correct bugs
13 and provide improvements.
15 The simulation program is based on GEANT3.21. A special version of the
16 GEANT library and a mini-CERN Library are needed to run this code.
21 - Install ROOT and define the ROOTSYS symbol correctly.
23 - Decide in which directory you will install the ALICE sofware. We will
24 indicate it with <directory>
26 - Define the following global variables in the login script
30 ALICE_ROOT = $ALICE/$ALICE_LEVEL
31 ALICE_TARGET = `uname`
32 LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $LD_LIBRARY_PATH\:$ALICE_ROOT/lib (on all systems)
33 SHLIB_PATH = $SHLIB_PATH\:$ALICE_ROOT/lib (on hpux)
34 PATH = $PATH\:$ALICE_ROOT/bin
36 At this point you should logout, login again and check that the symbols are
42 - Get the file /afs/cern.ch/alice/offline/dist/AliOffline3.01.tar.gz
47 $ gtar xvfz AliOffline3.01.tar.gz
54 /afs/cern.ch/alice/offline/dist/AliRoot3.01.tar.gz (AliRoot code)
55 /afs/cern.ch/alice/offline/dist/AliLibs3.01.tar.gz (minicern code)
60 - install the CERN library part
65 - Install the ALICE specific software
70 - Copy the file $ALICE_ROOT/.rootrc to your home directory
79 Notice for Linux users
80 ======================
82 AliRoot requires the compiler system egcs 1.1.1 or later. Unfortunately the
83 location of the include files is dependent on the compiler version on Linux.
84 While g++ knows the location of the files relative to its own version, but
85 this is not the case for the makedepend, that should be told where include
86 files are. This is accomplished by the DEPINC variable in the file
89 In case several error message appear during the make phase, complaining for
90 include files not found, the list of include directories in DEPINC should
91 be compared with the standard list of the compiler, that can be found out
92 with the following commands:
97 and looking at the output between the lines:
