Install the project mandatory dependencies:
- AugerOffline (and relative dependencies)
- ROOT [https://root.cern.ch/]
- GEANT4 [https://geant4.web.cern.ch/]
Make sure you have set the following environment variables to the external library installation dirs
- ROOTSYS: set to ROOT installation path
- AUGEROFFLINEROOT: set to AugerOffline installation path
NB: Modify Makefile CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS in case the dependency tools cannot be found.
To build the project:
- Clone this repository into your local $SOURCE_DIR
git clone https://github.com/PierreAugerObservatory/G4MuonCounterSimulator.git $SOURCE_DIR - In the project directory type:
make
Binaries will be placed in the bin/ directory and libraries in the lib/ directory.
