[mcstas-users] McStas 2.0 Installation from subversion tag

[Peter Kjær Willendrup]

Hello Christian,

Two comments/ideas:

1) If you are getting the -2.9999-svn suffixes, my guess is that you are building the packages independently (and locally) using cmake? My suggestion would be to inspire from one of the “high level build scripts” build_* sitting at the top level of our SVN trunk - these use the mkdist script which automates building and adds various extra configuration options, including control of the versioning.

2) Since McStas 2.0 we have moved away from the -verison- naming on the binaries (and removed use of the related mccode-select tool) - plus further fixed various other things. Hence if you install the current development SVN (which is _really_ close to being the official 2.1), you will have mcstas, mcrun et al. in a version-sepecific folder (like /usr/local/mcstas/version/bin) rather than with version-specific naming in /usr/local/bin

Hope this helps, otherwise write back to me off-list

Peter

Hello,

I have recently installed McStas release 2.0 using your sources from subversion.
After installation some directories and binary files have a -2.9999-svn suffix but are relying on
system calls to e.g. mcstas without suffix.
I tried to patch this myself using sed because I did not figure out how to configure a build without the suffix
mentioned above. At the moment I resolved this issue using symlinks to the suffixed binaries.

How to disable -2.99-svn suffix? I would like to get rid off these symlinks.

See build instructions on bash below:

  for my_dir in mcstas mcstas-comps tools/Legacy-Perl tools/Python/mcplot/matplotlib ;\
  do \
    rm -rf ${my_dir}/build ;\
    mkdir -p ${my_dir}/build &&\
    cd ${my_dir}/build ;\
    ${my_PREFIX}/bin/cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=${my_PREFIX} \
    -Denable_mcstas=1 .. ;\
    cd - ;\
  done

  for my_dir in mcstas mcstas-comps tools/Legacy-Perl tools/Python/mcplot/matplotlib ;\
  do \
    cd ${my_dir}/build &&\
    make -j2 ;\
    cd - ;\
  done

  for my_dir in mcstas mcstas-comps tools/Legacy-Perl tools/Python/mcplot/matplotlib ;\
  do \
    cd ${my_dir}/build &&\
    make install DESTDIR=${my_DESTDIR} ;\
    cd - ;\
  done

  find ${my_DESTDIR} -name '.svn' -type d -exec rm -rf {}/ \\; || echo ;\
  ln -s mccode-select-bundle-mcstas-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mccode-select-bundle-mcstas ;\
  ln -s mccode-select-mcstas-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mccode-select-mcstas ;\
  ln -s mcconfig-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcconfig ;\
  ln -s mcconvert-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcconvert ;\
  ln -s mcdaemon-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcdaemon ;\
  ln -s mcdisplay-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcdisplay ;\
  ln -s mcdoc-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcdoc ;\
  ln -s mcformat-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcformat ;\
  ln -s mcformatgui-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcformatgui ;\
  ln -s mcgui-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcgui ;\
  ln -s mcplot-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcplot ;\
  ln -s mcplot-2.9999-svn-matplotlib ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcplot-matplotlib ;\
  ln -s mcresplot-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcresplot ;\
  ln -s mcrun-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcrun ;\
  ln -s mcstas-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcstas ;\
  ln -s mcstas2vitess-2.9999-svn ${my_DESTDIR}/usr/local/bin/mcstas2vitess

Thanks in advance.
