Corryvreckan

The Maelstrom for Your Test Beam Data

For more details about the project please have a look at the website at https://cern.ch/corryvreckan.

build status

Dependencies

  • ROOT (required, with the GenVector component)

Installation

The CMake build system is used for compilation and installation. The install directory can be specified by adding -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<prefix> as argument to the CMake command below. Other configuration options are explained in the manual.

The dependencies need to be initialized for the build to succeed.

Compilation

To compile and install a default installation of Corryvreckan, run the following commands

$ mkdir build && cd build/
$ cmake ..
$ make install

For more detailed installation instructions, please refer to the documentation below.

Uninstallation

To uninstall and remove compilation files (e.g. when you want to do a clean recompilation/reinstallation):

$ rm -r build/ lib/ bin/

N.B. This assumes you used the above commands to compile and install. Adjust the paths accordingly if you used a different build directory and/or CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option.

Documentation

The PDF user manual is automatically compiled by the continuous integration and can be downloaded here.

The latest PDF version of the User Manual can be created from source by executing

$ make pdf

After running the manual is available under usermanual/corryvreckan-manual.pdf in the build directory.

To build the HTML version of the latest Doxygen reference, run the following command

$ make reference

The main page of the reference can then be found at reference/html/index.html in the build folder.
