Building EvioTool

Building EvioTool

This tool uses a standard "cmake" build scheme. This includes a build of needed the EVIO and ET libraries.

Steps:

• git clone https://github.com/JeffersonLab/EvioTool.git
• cd EvioTool
• mkdir build # Always use out-of-place build.
• cd build
• cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME} .. # Replace ${HOME} with install dir.
• make
• make install

The libraries currently created are:

• libevio
  • libeviocxx is no longer build, but can be turned on if you want. Edit the CMakeLists.txt.
• libEvioTool
• libHPSEvioReader

The executatble created are, amongst others:

• EvioTool_Test
• HPSEvioReader_Test
• HPS_Trigger_Filter
• evio2xml
• eviocopy

Building your own code with EvioTool

By default a cmake install will put two packages in /lib/cmake, one for evio and one for both EvioTool and HPSEvioReader. To link to these pacakges in your own CMakeLists.txt file you want to include the following lines:

find_package(ROOT REQUIRED)
include(${ROOT_USE_FILE})
find_package(EvioTool CONFIG REQUIRED)

To make sure that cmake finds the packages when you run it on your own project, add CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to point to your installation of EvioTool:

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<install-dir>/lib/cmake ..
