Hello GSIM-group,
(This is an abbreviated list since I don't have the address for a full
GSIM users group mail list yet. Could someone who knows tell me where this
list resides ?)
The GSIM code now runs on the SUN computers at CEBAF and the Silicon
Graphics system at UNH.
To compile GSIM on the SUN systems some special "features" of the sun need
to be taken into account:
1) The current (96a) version of the CERN library libpacklib.a is "broken",
it calls the system routines regcmp and regex, which are not part of the
SUN MOTIF library (or any other library that I am aware of.) The file
kmfile.c from libpacklib.a was compiled circumventing this problem and
must be included in the link statement before libpacklib.a
Also, to use this library execute:
setup cernlib/96a
setenv CERN_LIB $CERN_ROOT/lib ! Since setup doesn't provide this link.
2) The MOTIF library must be included: -L/usr/dt/lib -lXm
3) I turned off the incemental linker (-xilkoff switch)
4) Some users may get a runtime error saying something about
"library xxxxx.so not found". This is for shared libraries, and is fixed
by the statement:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH \
/usr/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/opt/SUNWspro/lib
The imports.imp, makefile.pi and kmfile.o files can be found in
~holtrop/codes/clas/gsim/gsim_int/sunosf77.plt/
the executable is in $CTEST_EXE
(James, perhaps you can unlock imports.imp, or update/install this copy)
The current compile of gsim_int has debugging turned on and no
optimization.
I have not been able to test this for more that 200 events or so because I
don't have access to a scratch disk from a sun workstation. It appears to
run fine, and seems to be faster than the over burdened hp's.
Let me know if you run into any problems. Also I can give people the
executables for gsim on the SGI architecture.
Regards,
Maurik Holtrop
