instructions for RH7 (deprecated)

Setup (w/ root 6.26)

• Download and unpack the go4 distribution:

https://web-docs.gsi.de/~go4/download/go4-6.2.0.tar.gz

• Create a build folder and cd to it.

module use unstable # for Qt and hdf5_serial
module load Qt gcc/10.3.0 root/6.26.02 hdf5_serial/1.10.7 cmake/3.20.5 gsl/2.7

• To get HDF5_ROOT env var considered, change policy CMP0074 to NEW:

cmake -DCMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0074=NEW -Dhdf5=ON ../go4-6.2.0/
make -j

• Once you reach an error regarding libtiff:

cp /afs/psi.ch/sys/psi.x86_64_slp6/Compiler/root/6.24.06/gcc/10.3.0/lib/libtiff* ./lib/
make -j

Setup (w/ root 6.24)

• Download and unpack the go4 distribution:

https://web-docs.gsi.de/~go4/download/go4-6.2.0.tar.gz

• Create a build folder and cd to it.

• Load dependencies via pmodules:

module use unstable # for Qt
module load Qt gcc/10.3.0 root/6.24.06 hdf5_serial/1.10.7 cmake/3.20.5

• To get HDF5_ROOT env var considered, change policy CMP0074 to NEW:

cmake -DCMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0074=NEW -Dhdf5=ON ../go4-6.2.0/
make -j

• Once you reach an error regarding libtiff:

cd qt4 && $(cat CMakeFiles/go4.dir/link.txt) -ltiff && cd ..
make -j

Just for debugging

The ignored HDF5_ROOT can also be solved by editing go4-6.2.0/CMakeLists.txt. Add:

 14 cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.9 FATAL_ERROR)
 15 cmake_policy(VERSION 3.12)

In case, HDF5_ROOT is not defined:

HDF5_ROOT=$HDF5_PREFIX cmake -Dhdf5=ON ../go4-6.2.0/

Further details regarding the libtiff error:

VERBOSE=1 make -j

Last line misses -ltiff. Find last line, cd into right folder (qt4) and run line again adding -ltiff at the end.

In case we need the parallel hdf5 lib:

module load Qt gcc/10.3.0 openmpi/4.0.5 root/6.24.06 hdf5/1.10.7 cmake/3.20.5
