Building LIGO softwares for 64 bit linux

EPICS

Well this is not a LIGO software, but it is essential for a control room computer.

EPICS Base

Download the EPICS base package from http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/index.php

Unpack it. Set/unset environmental variables. 

setenv EPICS_HOST_ARCH linux-x86_64
unsetenv SCRIPTS

Compile 

make

Install 

cd ..
cp -r base-3.14.0 /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux64/epics/base

Extensions

Download the archive containing the extensions directory structure. http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/download/extensions/extensionsTop_20070703.tar.gz

Unpack it to /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux64/epics/

Download necessary extensions (medm, ezca, etc).

Unpack it into /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux64/epics/extensions/src/

Move to the extracted directory and type make to compile the extension.

Dataviewer

Check out source code from the CDS CVS repository (you need an account). 

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:username@ldas-sw.ligo.caltech.edu:/ldcg_server/common/repository_gds
cvs login 
cvs checkout cds/project/daq/dv
cd dv

Compile 

make

Copy the following files to /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux64/dataviewer/ 

Control/dc3
Control/dataviewer 
Display/framer4 
Display/frameMemRead

GDS software

Here is what I tried to get the build the GDS software. The compilation completes but dtt does not run.

First you have to install ROOT.

Installing ROOT

Download ROOT-5.20 from http://root.cern.ch/root/Version520.html

Expand the archive and run the configure script. 

./configure linuxx8664gcc --prefix=/cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux64/root

Build & install. 

make
make install

Building GDS

Check out the GDS CVS tree. 

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:readonly@ldas-sw.ligo.caltech.edu:/ldcg_server/common/repository_gds
cvs login 
m0n1t0r
cvs checkout gds
cd gds

Set environmental variables. 

setenv   GDSBUILD online
setenv   ROOTSYS /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux64/root

Prepare the building environment. 

./bootstrap
./configure --enable-dtt --enable-online --prefix=/cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux64/gds

I had to tweak some Makefiles. First, I edited Monitors/Makefile and emptied SUBDIRS so that no monitor will be built. If you want to compile DMT monitors, you should not do this.

Next, I edited DTT/src/Makefile to add $(epicslib) at the end of the definition of LDADD.

The next step is to create libepics-linux.a (in DTT/lib) for 64bit linux. It turned out that this is just an archive file of object files from libca.a, libCom.a and libezca.a (all from epics). I took the following steps to create it. 

mkdir libepics
cd libepics
ar x /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux64/epics/base/lib/linux-x86_64/libca.a
ar x /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux64/epics/base/lib/linux-x86_64/libCom.a
ar x /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux64/epics/extensions/lib/linux-x86_64/libezca.a
ar rcs libepics-linux.a *

Copy libepics-linux.a to DTT/lib overwriting the existing file.

Build and install 

make
make install
