VMS systems

The file CERN_ROOT:[MGR]MAKE.COM must be modified to add the appropriate entries.

Adding a new stand-alone library

This is normally required when a new version of a Monte-Carlo generator is released. All that is required is that the appropriate source file (.CAR) and cradle (.CRA) are installed in the /cern/new/src/car area.

Adding a new CERN module

A new CERN module is added by updating the entry l_cernpgm, as shown below.

Updating the list of CERN modules

$! Initial configuration
$!
$ l\_cernpgm ="SYSREQ  ,FATMEN  ,ZFTP    ,ZSERV   ,PAWSERV ,VAXTAP  ,"+ -
             "FLOP    ,TREE    ,CERNLIB ,FCASPLIT,XBANNER ,WYLBUR  ,"+ -
             "HIGZCONV,F2H     ,FCONV   "+ -
             l\_packpgm+l\_products

$! With ASTUCE added
$!
$ l\_cernpgm ="SYSREQ  ,FATMEN  ,ZFTP    ,ZSERV   ,PAWSERV ,VAXTAP  ,"+ -
             "FLOP    ,TREE    ,CERNLIB ,FCASPLIT,XBANNER ,WYLBUR  ,"+ -
             "HIGZCONV,F2H     ,FCONV   ,ASTUCE  "+ -
             l\_packpgm+l\_products

Finally, the appropriate cradle (ASTUCE.CRA) is added to /cern/new/src/car.

Adding a new user module

A new user module is added in a similar manner, except that the list l_userpgm is updated (and the appropriate cradle added to /cern/new/src/car).

Adding a new module to an existing set

Let us take the example of the HEPDB modules. These are defined by the entry hepdbset.

Initial definition of hepdbset

$ l\_hepdbset="CDSERV  ,HEPDB   "

The above definition will cause the modules CDSERV (the HEPDB server) and HEPDB (the interactive interface) to be built. We now wish to add two new modules: CDMAKE, to create new database files, and CDMOVE, the module responsibile for distribution of journal files between different servers.

This is done as follows:

  1. Update the definition of hepdbset.
  2. Add the appropriate cradles to the /cern/new/src/car area.

The definition of hepdbset is now as follows:

New definition of hepdbset

$ l\_hepdbset="CDSERV  ,HEPDB   ,CDMOVE  ,CDMAKE  "

Adding a new package to PACKLIB

If we suppose that the initial definition of PACKLIB is as follows:

Initial definition of PACKLIB

$ l_packlib ="CSPACK  ,EPIO    ,FATLIB  ,FFREAD  ,HBOOK   ,KAPACK  ,"+ -
             "KUIP    ,MINUIT  ,ZBOOK   ,ZEBRA   ,CDLIB   "

we can add a new component simply by updating this list and adding the appropriate cradle.
