Installation Instructions

RootSpy has a few dependencies. Some of these may already be installed on your system and others may be installed using conda. Here is a command to create a new, local conda environment and install all of the dependencies there. Omit any from the conda install that you do not need.

conda create -y --prefix ./cenv curl zeromq protobuf root doxygen
conda activate ./cenv
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=${CONDA_PREFIX}
# setenv CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${CONDA_PREFIX}

Note that the above should automatically set your 'CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH' environment variable when the conda environment is activated. This should allow the RootSpy cmake configuration to find them.

Build xmsg-cpp

export xmsg_ROOT=${PWD}/opt
# setenv xmsg_ROOT ${PWD}/opt
cmake -S xmsg-cpp -B xmsg-cpp.build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${xmsg_ROOT} -DXMSG_BUILD_TESTS=
nice cmake --build xmsg-cpp.build --target install -j32

Build cmsg

git clone https://github.com/JeffersonLab/cmsg
export cmsg_ROOT=${PWD}/opt
# setenv cmsg_ROOT ${PWD}/opt
cmake -S cmsg -B cmsg.build -DCODA_INSTALL=${cmsg_ROOT}

Building RootSpy with cmake

Here is a directory where I built RootSpy with a new cmake configuration,

git clone https://github.com/marieasn/RootSpy

Commands to build RootSpy

Here are some instructions for building RootSpy, including its dependencies xmsg-cpp, zmq, and protobuf.

Protobuf is quirky in that we use an older version that uses libtool which complains if it is installing in a directory that doesn't end with /usr/local/lib. Thus, we install everything in ${PWD}/opt/usr/local.

cmake -S RootSpy/src/libRootSpy -B libRootSpy.build cmake --build libRootSpy.build

cmake -S RootSpy/src/libRootSpy-client -B libRootSpyclient.build cmake --build libRootSpyclient.build
