Building Offline with cmake

Introduction

Use of CMake to build Offline in the DAQ environment.

Building Offline with CMake

Using UPS

The UPS-based build of Offline is supported in SL7 environments, in two distinct flavors:

Package-based build

The Offline CMake uses the cetmodules package for several CMake convenience functions, and can be built using the standard cetmodules invocation:

source /cvmfs/mu2e.opensciencegrid.org/setupmu2e-art.sh
git clone https://github.com/Mu2e/Offline.git
mkdir build_Offline && cd build_Offline
source ../Offline/ups/setup_for_development -p e28:s126:trig # -d or -p are supported, see Offline/ups/product_deps for supported qualifier combinations
export CETPKG_J=$((`cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep processor|tail -1|awk '{print $3}'` + 1)) # Set build parallelism to number of CPUs on host
buildtool # -p to create a UPS-redistributable package, -i to install in a UPS area (-I to specify which)

MRB-based build

Offline is also compatible with MRB-based development:

source /cvmfs/mu2e.opensciencegrid.org/setupmu2e-art.sh
setup mrb
mkdir my_mrb_working_area
export CETPKG_J=$((`cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep processor|tail -1|awk '{print $3}'` + 1)) # Set build parallelism to number of CPUs on host
export MRB_PROJECT=Mu2e
mrb newDev -v v1_00_00 -q e28:s126:trig:prof # Version here is mostly meaningless, but required to silence certain CMake warnings
cd srcs
mrb gitCheckout https://github.com/Mu2e/Offline.git
mrb uc
mrb z
mrbsetenv
mrb b

Using Spack

An "Offline" Spack recipe has been created and added to https://github.com/Mu2e/mu2e-spack. To build and install Offline in a Spack area, use the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/FNALssi/spack.git -b fnal-develop
echo 'export SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG=true
source spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh' >setup-env.sh
source setup-env.sh
mkdir repos && cd repos
git clone https://github.com/FNALssi/fnal_art.git && spack repo add fnal_art
git clone https://github.com/art-daq/artdaq-spack.git && spack repo add artdaq-spack
git clone https://github.com/Mu2e/mu2e-spack.git && spack repo add mu2e-spack
cd ..
spack compiler find
spack env create offline
spack env activate offline
spack add otsdaq-suite@v2_07_00 s=126 artdaq=31207
spack add Offline
spack develop Offline@main
spack concretize
spack install

To use this area in future sessions:

source setup-env.sh
spack env activate offline
mu2e -c ... # Offline is now setup in your PATH

When to Update CMakeLists.txt

In general, CMakeLists.txt in affected packages should be updated when:

1. Files are added, removed, or renamed
2. Library dependencies for a package change (e.g. a #include referring to another package is added or removed)
3. Data files are added to a package and should be installed when Offline is built
