How to Check Out and Build the Code

These are checkout and build instructions for QFED. We presume that the user has an account and appropriate permissions on progress to check code out, and access to the NCCS machines (e.g., discover) to run code.

The name of the module in the cvs repository is QFED. Currently the name of the development tag is qfed-1_0_b3. To checkout the QFED source into the directory qfed use the following command

% cvs -d $CVSROOT co -d ./qfed -r qfed-1_0_b3 QFED

Once the code is checked out set the ESMADIR variable to point to the QFED top directory, e.g.:

% setenv ESMADIR ${HOME}/projects/qfed

Make sure that you have a valid ${BASEDIR}. QFED code is known to compile against Baselibs-v3.1.7.

To build the code navigate to the source directory where you will find the main GNUMakefile:

% cd ./qfed/src

The available options can be seen by running gmake or gmake esma_help:

% gmake esma_help

  Standard ESMA targets:
  % make esma_install    (builds and install under ESMADIR)
  % make esma_clean      (removes deliverables: *.[aox], etc)
  % make esma_distclean  (leaves in the same state as cvs co)
  % make esma_doc        (generates PDF, installs under ESMADIR)
  % make esma_help       (this message)
  Environment:
     ESMADIR = ...qfed/src/
     BASEDIR = /opt/Baselibs/v3.1.7/
        ARCH = Linux
        SITE = your_host_name

To build and install QFED :

% make esma_install

followed by

% make PYTHON_INSTALL=python_install install

if you wish to install the python modules and scripts as well.
