Building the Analyzer and BigBite libs from CVS (d2n)

Here's how I set-up an analyzer on my debian 'Lenny' distribution

 I use bash and vim like all right-minded people :-p
 The Transversity wiki also has lots of good info:
 Off Line Analysis for transversity

• Install ROOT (if you haven't already)

 % apt-get install root-system

• Download and build the analyzer and the d2n replay code

 % mkdir d2n_analysis
 % wget -nd http://www.jlab.org/~brads/hacks/pull_cvs
 % chmod a+x pull_cvs

• This script sets the appropriate CVS variables and pulls the d2n/ and analyzer/ branches

 % ./pull_cvs

• You should now have two new directories

 brads@aether% ls -F
 analyzer/  d2n/  pull_cvs*

• Copy and edit the root-setup.sh file. You should update the 'd2n' path at least.

 % cp d2n/root-setup.sh .
 % vim setup.sh

• Source the file to set the environment variables

 % source root-setup.sh

• Build the base analyzer

 % (cd analyzer && make)

• Build the BigBite and replay code

 % (cd d2n && ./makeall)

• Now move into the default replay directory

 % cd d2n/replay/

• Set up symlinks

 The following directories should all be replaced with symlinks
   summaryfiles/
   ScratchROOTfiles/
   ROOTfiles/
 that all point to an appropriate work disk that is NOT in your $HOME
 directory.  (Your sys-admin and backup software will thank you for it.)

• Now you should be able to run the analyzer as you normally would

NOTE:  The environment variables in 'root-setup.sh' need to be
       set properly or the analyzer will not work.  I put the
       script in $HOME/bin and then source it in my .bashrc.

Some Miscellaneous config instructions

• Configure env variables to point to ROOT, etc

 If you're not on a JLab CUE system, you may need to edit and source the the
 'root-setup.sh' file.  The settings in the file work for my debian 'lenny'
 distribution.  YMMV.

• Problem building the BigBite specific libraries in the transversity/ branch

 If you see a 'atoi' undefined error when compiling bigbitelib then add the
 following line to the include list in 'BBDecData.cxx' and recompile.
 #include <stdlib.h>
 This fix is in the 'd2n' CVS branch.  (22 June 2009, BDS)
