The CALICE Software is used for mainly the reconstruction of data and simulation (digitisation). 

The software is migrated to git now. Please use the new repository at https://stash.desy.de/projects/CALICE.

Request access with your DESY account at it-atlassian@desy.de for pull requests.

  • calice_userlib: contains most important codes of the software
  • calice_reco: contains code for reconstruction of the data and simulation (dependencies: calice_userlib, labview_converter)
  • calice_analysis: contains code for analysis and event display (dependencies: calice_userlib, calice_reco)

  • calice_cmake: contain cmake file specific to the CALICE Software



Pre-compiled librairies

Pre-compiled libraries of the CALICE Software are available on the afs.

Current HEAD compiled with modded DD4hep, gcc 4.9 and iLCSoft v02-00-01

You can find pre-compiled libraries and binaries on the cvmfs:  /cvmfs/calice.desy.de/*version*/build/myInstall



Compiling against the cvmfs release (avoid to have to build all packages)

You can compile any processor or any sub-package from the calice software against the cvmfs release. This cuts downs the compilation time to the really necessary as there is no need to re-compile all the calice soft libraries, only your library is compiled (custom processor or sub-package of calice soft. Example: calice_sim.

If you need to recompile calice_userlib, one may need to be careful as this is the core package!

First clone the sub-package you need or make your own directory. The directory needs to contain a CMakeLists.txt file for cmake.

A bit of cmake knowledge is beneficial. For more details, see the cmake documentation here: https://cmake.org/documentation/

You ll need to create a .cmake file that specify few variables:

  • CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH: contains the prefix path for all the necessary software pointing to the cmake configuration of each package
  • CMAKE_MODULE_PATH: needs to point to cmake modules that are used in the CMakeLists.txt file
  • CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX: where you want to install the binaries and libraries compiled (installation step)

  • USE_CXX11: True if compiled with flag -std=c++11 or False 

  • CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD: If USE_CXX11 is set to False, it needs to be specified, cmake will automatically add the flag. Choice: 11 or 17

Here is for gcc4.9 and gcc8.2

gcc49.cmake gcc82.cmake

You ll need to create a CMakeLists.txt file for compiling your processor. The structure of the folder should be similar to this:

.
├── build
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── include
│   ├── Ahc2NoiseProcessor.hh
│   ├── ElectronSelectionProcessor.hh
│   ├── EventQuality.hh
│   ├── MIPPreSelectionProcessor.hh
│   ├── MultipleEventRejection.hh
│   ├── PionSelectionProcessor.hh

│   ├── SplitMIPCollection.cpp

└── user-pro-test_x86_64_gcc48_sl6_v17-10.cmake
  • build/ is where you want to build the processor(s) (avoid mixing build files with source code)
  • include/ will have the .h/.hh files for your processor(s) (only the one you create no need to copy all includes from somewhere because you need it)
  • lib/ where the processor(s) library will be installed (this is the lib that Marlin will need by adding it to the variable $MARLIN_DLL)
  • src/ where the source code of your processor(s) is (You can have several processor there that will be compiled into a single library)
  • CMakeLists.txt is used by cmake to know what to do
  • user-****.cmake will contains some variable that cmake needs to know (for example where calice_userlib is (lib/include/cmake) to be able to compile against it)

Here is a simple example of a CMakeLists.txt

To compile your package just do:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -C ../<config.cmake> ..
make
make install



Compiling individually the packages

This is mostly useful for developers. If you only do analysis, see here.

You need to compile the packages in this order:

  1. calice_userlib
  2. labview_converter
  3. calice_reco
  4. calice_analysis
  5. calice_calib
  6. calice_sim
  7. calice_cddata
  8. RootTreeWriter

This is fairly simple. All you need is

  • cmake
  • ILCSoft (v01-17-10 minimum)
  • git
  • gcc 4.8 minimum

First prepare your working space and download the needed calice packages

cd <workspace>
git clone https://stash.desy.de/scm/calice/calice_cmake.git calice_cmake
git clone https://stash.desy.de/scm/calice/calice_userlib.git calice_userlib
git clone https://stash.desy.de/scm/calice/labview_converter.git labview_converter
git clone https://stash.desy.de/scm/calice/calice_reco.git calice_reco
git clone https://stash.desy.de/scm/calice/calice_analysis.git calice_analysis
git clone https://stash.desy.de/scm/calice/calice_calib.git calice_calib
git clone https://stash.desy.de/scm/calice/calice_sim.git calice_sim
git clone https://stash.desy.de/scm/calice/calice_cddata.git calice_cddata
git clone https://stash.desy.de/scm/calice/RootTreeWriter.git RootTreeWriter

Once this is done, create a build folder for each package

mkdir build_<package_name>

or you can do this with the following command to create a folder for every entry in the folder

ls -1 | xargs -i mkdir build_{}

Before building, you need to create a cmake file that links all dependencies, the ilcsoft and where to install the compiled libraries. Template file: user-pro-test_x86_64_gcc48_sl6.cmake (for ILCSoft v01-17-11). You need to replace the first part of the file from SET( ILC_HOME ... to option(Boost_NO_..... ) by the line supplied in the ILCSoft.cmake located on the root directory of your desired ILCSoft version (/cvmfs/ilc.desy.de/sw/x86_64_gcc48_sl6/v01-XX) and the variable CALICE_HOME by the path to your workspace. 

You can start to build each packages by doing

cd build_<package_name>
cmake -C ../user-pro-test_x86_64_gcc48_sl6.cmake ../<package_name>

You should get an output similar to this one

CMake super-package to compile CALICESoft

A cmake package is available here: https://github.com/CALICETB/CaliceInstall. This super-package handles everything (downloading the package, update and building).

The update step has been removed to avoid overwriting of files. This should be safe now.

First, download the package and modify the user-pro-test_x86_64_gcc48_sl6.cmake file with the correct ILCSoft version.

(In addition you might need to initialize a file that contains the path to the ILCSoft Version and compiler version (such as this: init_ilcsoft.sh  - "source init_ilcsoft.sh").)

git clone https://github.com/CALICETB/CaliceInstall.git CaliceInstall
cd CaliceInstall
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -C ../user-pro-test_x86_64_gcc48_sl6.cmake [-DOPTIONS=...] ..
make -j4

Options are: 

  • ENABLE_C++11 [ON/OFF] to build with c++11
  • BUILD_CALICE_SIM [ON/OFF] to install calice_sim package
  • BUILD_CALICE_CALIB [ON/OFF] to install calice_calib package

Once it is built all the includes, binaries and librairies are available in build/myInstall.

If modifications are made in any package, one can rebuild by doing


cd build
make clean
make -j4
