Building code

• Basic recipe for creating a satellite release based on 'Mu2e_release' installed in cvmfs

source /cvmfs/fermilab.opensciencegrid.org/products/common/etc/setups
setup mu2e
/cvmfs/mu2e.opensciencegrid.org/Offline/'Mu2e_release'/SLF6/prof/Offline/bin/createSatelliteRelease
cd Satellite
source setup.sh
[add content]
scons -j 4 

• Basic recipe for setup, full checkout and build (GitHub) (For more details see GitHubWorkflow). The following will produce a working directory that CANNOT be used to update the remote repository. It is useful only for running tests, not for developing code.

source /cvmfs/fermilab.opensciencegrid.org/products/common/etc/setups
setup mu2e
git clone https://github.com/mu2e/Offline
cd Offline
git checkout -b work
source setup.sh
scons -j 4 

• Basic recipe for setup, full checkout and build (Redmine)

source /cvmfs/fermilab.opensciencegrid.org/products/common/etc/setups
setup mu2e

- The following will produce a working directory that CANNOT be used to update the remote repository.  It is useful only for running tests, not for developing code. -
git clone http://cdcvs.fnal.gov/projects/mu2eofflinesoftwaremu2eoffline/Offline.git

- For a read-write working directory appropriate for developing code.-
git clone ssh://p-mu2eofflinesoftwaremu2eoffline@cdcvs.fnal.gov/cvs/projects/mu2eofflinesoftwaremu2eoffline/Offline.git

cd Offline
git checkout -b work
source setup.sh
scons -j 4
