TrickTrack aims to encapsulate the Cellular-Automaton based seeding code used in CMSSW in a standalone library. The original sources in CMSSW are listed in doc/CMSSW_sources.md
.
mkdir build
cd build
export EIGEN_INCLUDE_DIR=<eigen installation dir>
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<installdir> [-Dtricktrack_documentation=ON] <path to sources>
make -j<number of cores on your machine>
make install
The tricktrack_documentation
variable is optional, and should be passed if you wish to
build the Doxygen based API documentation. Please note that this requires an existing
installation of Doxygen. If CMake cannot locate
Doxygen, its install location should be added into CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
.
For further details please have a look at the CMake tutorial.
The documentation of the project is based on doxygen. To build the documentation,
the project must have been configured with tricktrack_documentation
enabled, as
described earlier. It can then be built and installed:
make doc
make install
By default, this installs the documentation into <installdir>/share/doc/tricktrack/share/doc
.
A cpack based package can be created by invoking
make package
To run the tests of the project, first build it and then invoke
make test
TrckTrack is distributed under the Apache License 2.0 (see LICENSE
). If you want to build your own project against tricktrack, CMake may be the best option for you. Just add its install location (the folder containing cmake/tricktrackConfig.cmake
to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and call find_package(tricktrack) within your CMakeLists.txt.
A pkg-config
.pc
file is also installed if you do not use CMake.
Simply add the location of the .pc
file (nominally <installdir>/lib/pkgconfig
) and run pkg-config --cflags --libs tricktrack
to get the
include paths and libraries needed to compile and link to tricktrack.
