Kyle's Generic Notes

Typos

on http://clasweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/UNH_Sim12_Setup. In the second to last dashed-line box, it says $XERCESROOT rather than $XERCESCROOT

Nuances

Never ever use ~ in paths. Use absolute paths to be sure.

need to export XERCESCROOT="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/XERCESC/xerces-c-src_2_8_0", my install directory.

  1. ./runConfigure -plinux -cgcc -xg++ - good
  2. make - good


DAWN

  1. Downloaded and extracted dawn into a directory. (http://geant4.kek.jp/%7Etanaka/DAWN/About_DAWN.html)
  2. make - good


GEANT4

  1. Downloaded and extracted geant4 and data files
  2. compiled geant4 - no problem
  3. make physics_list stuff...

had to assign many enviroment variables

make script failing

using absolute path rather than path from ~, makefile doesn't read relative paths correctly.

eg: 

CLHEPROOT=/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/CLHEP
CLHEP_BASE_DIR=/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/CLHEP
XERCESCROOT=/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/XERCESC
G4WORKDIR=/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/workDIR
CLHEP_LIB=/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/CLHEP/lib

creating working directory:

  • export G4WORKDIR="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/workDIR"


Evio

Download site no longer active

  1. cp from /net/data/taro/maurik/evio
  2. make clean
  3. make - good
  4. export EVIOROOT="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/evio"


HDDS

  • cp maurik's HDDS files from /net/data/taro/maurik/HDDS

needs G4INSTALL defined

  1. export G4INSTALL="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/geant4.9.0.p01"
  2. make clean
  3. make - good!
  4. export HDDSROOT="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/HDDS"


JGEANT4

  1. cd to Sim12 directory
  2. svn checkout https://phys12svn.jlab.org/repos/trunk/src/JGeant4/
  3. export G4WORKDIR="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/JGeant4"
  4. make - good!
  5. export JGEANT4ROOT="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/JGeant4"
  6. export G4WORKDIR="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/workDIR"


Sim12

Enviroment variables:

Error 1

solution: env.sh was NOT setting variables. Recompiled geant4 and edited env.sh as needed


linking error: 

Compiling Sim12.cc ...
Using granular libraries ...
Linking Sim12 ...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/CLHEP/lib
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/workDIR/bin/Linux-g++/Sim12] Error 1

From make -n, our error is the the second to last thing linked by ld. The directory is in ld's path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH). Hmmmm...

solution: make was treating the variable CLHEP_LIB as an archive, but it is a directory. export CLHEP_LIB="CLHEP"

make...success!

...

Steps to make and run Sim12:

Making

Setting variables:

Not all directories will be correct in env.sh. Make sure G4 variable directories are pointing in the right place.

I needed to tag this to the end of env.sh 

export CLHEP_BASE_DIR="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/CLHEP"
export CLHEPROOT="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/CLHEP"
export CLHEP_LIB="CLHEP"
export CLHEP_LIB_DIR="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/CLHEP/lib"
env | grep CLHEP
export XERCESCROOT="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/XERCESC/xerces-c-src_2_8_0"
export EVIOROOT="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/evio"
export HDDSROOT="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/HDDS"
export JGEANT4ROOT="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/JGeant4"
env | grep ROOT
export G4WORKDIR="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/workDIR"
export G4INSTALL="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/geant4.9.0.p01"
export G4INCLUDE="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/geant4.9.0.p01/include"
export G4LIB="/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/geant4.9.0.p01/lib"


  1. Set env variables with env.sh: 'source ...../env.sh'
  2. cd to Sim12 directory, make

Success!


Running

Make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH is up to date. 

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$G4LIB/$G4SYSTEM:$CLHEP_LIB_DIR:$HDDSROOT/tmp/$G4SYSTEM/hdds:$JGEANT4ROOT/tmp/$G4SYSTEM/JGeant4:$XERCESROOT/lib:$EVIOROOT"

My whole path: 

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/GEANT4/lib/geant4/Linux-g++:/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/CLHEP/lib:
/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/geant4.9.0.p01/lib/Linux-g++:/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/CLHEP/lib:
/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/HDDS/tmp/Linux-g++/hdds:/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/JGeant4/tmp/Linux-g++/JGeant4:
/lib:/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/evio:/net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/XERCESC/xerces-c-src_2_8_0/lib


You want to be in the directory with clas12.xml...your Sim12 directory. IE on my station it's in /net/home/kyle/CLAS12/Sim12/Sim12


Now simply run $G4WORKDIR/bin/Linux-g++/Sim12


Now your sciencing!!!

Dan's Notes

Useful links I keep losing:

http://clasweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/UNH_Sim12_Setup http://clasweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Getting_Started_with_Sim12_Offsite


The Official Sim12 Offsite wiki has you leaving stuff where you compile it most of the time, while some of the directions assume that you do not. This is extremely confusing and leads to lots of problems. Also, I think it is better to install to a separate directory, so I will do so:

NOTE: DO NOT USE PATH NAMES WITH ~ for HOME DIRECTORY! USE ABSOLUTE PATHS!

The process(will be cleaned-up):

Preliminaries:

  1. mkdir -p /net/home/dan/Sim12-build
  2. mkdir -p /net/home/dan/Sim12

CLHEP

  1. mkdir -p /net/home/dan/Sim12/CLHEP
  2. mkdir -p /net/home/dan/Sim12-build/CLHEP
  3. cd /net/home/dan/Sim12-build/CLHEP
  4. tar -zxvf /net/home/dan/Tarpit/clhep-2.0.3.1.tgz
  5. cd 2.0.3.1/CLHEP
  6. ./configure --prefix=/net/home/dan/Sim12/CLHEP
  7. make
  8. make install
  9. export CLHEPROOT="/net/home/dan/Sim12/CLHEP"

XERCESC

  1. mkdir /net/home/dan/Sim12-build/xercesc
  2. mkdir -p /net/home/dan/Sim12/XERCESC
  3. cd /net/home/dan/Sim12-build/xercesc
  4. tar -zxvf /net/home/dan/Tarpit/xerces-c-src_2_8_0.tar.gz
  5. cd xerces-c-src_2_8_0/src/xercesc
  6. export XERCESCROOT="/net/home/dan/Sim12-build/xercesc/xerces-c-src_2_8_0"
  7. ./runConfigure -p linux -c gcc -x g++ -P /net/home/dan/Sim12/XERCESC
  8. make
  9. make install

Building XERCESC fails if using ~/blah for XERCESROOT!

  1. export XERCESCROOT="/net/home/dan/Sim12/XERCESC"

DAWN

  1. mkdir /net/home/dan/Sim12/DAWN
  2. mkdir /net/home/dan/Sim12-build/dawn
  3. cd /net/home/dan/Sim12-build/dawn
  4. tar -zxvf /net/home/dan/Tarpit/dawn_3_88a.taz
  5. cd dawn_3_88a
  6. edit Makefile: Change INSTALL_DIR line to use "/net/home/dan/Sim12/DAWN"
  7. make
  8. make install

GEANT4

  1. mkdir /net/home/dan/Sim12-build/geant4
  2. cd /net/home/dan/Sim12-build/geant4
  3. tar -zxvf ~/Tarpit/geant4.9.0.p01.gtar.gz
  4. cd geant4.9.0.p01
  5. mkdir data
  6. cd data
  7. tar -zxvf /net/home/dan/Tarpit/G4EMLOW.4.3.tar.gz
  8. tar -zxvf /net/home/dan/Tarpit/G4NDL.3.11.tar.gz
  9. tar -zxvf /net/home/dan/Tarpit/G4RadioactiveDecay.3.2.tar.gz
  10. tar -zxvf /net/home/dan/Tarpit/PhotonEvaporation.2.0.tar.gz
  11. cd /net/home/dan/Sim12-build/geant4
  12. mv geant4.9.0.p01 /net/home/dan/Sim12/GEANT4
  13. cd /net/home/dan/Sim12/GEANT4
  14. ./Configure -build

GEANT4 Questions:

Definition of G4SYSTEM variable is Linux-g++. That stands for:

1) OS : Linux

2) Compiler : g++

To modify default settings, select number above (e.g. 2) [Press [Enter] for default settings]

I can set things up so that your shell scripts and binaries are more portable, at what may be a noticable cost in performance. In particular, if you ask to be portable, the following happens: 

    1) Shell scripts will rely on the PATH variable rather than using
       the paths derived above.
    2) ~username interpretations will be done at run time rather than
       by Configure.

Do you expect to run these scripts and binaries on multiple machines? [n] y

Where is Geant4 source installed? [/net/home/dan/Sim12/GEANT4]

Specify the path where Geant4 libraries and source files should be installed. [/net/home/dan/Sim12/GEANT4]

Current focus: Exploring Sim12

To do:

  1. Get rid of red lines
  2. Add way to find out material of target
  3. Display commands issued by GUI
  4. Need to be able to turn on magnetic fields
  5. Need command interface
  6. Ability to list/change variables
  7. Need list/glossary of GEANT4 commands (linked from JLAB wiki)
  8. ^Plus, need our changes
  9. Document XML
  10. Make simple, limited XML description
  11. Model single chip
  12. Make nice macros
  13. Are SVT5 and SVT6 micromegas?
  14. Is Sim12 model still accurate?

Notes:

  1. nTrigger is the number of times the beam is fired.
