sPHENIX discussion of software

[pinkenburg <pinkenburg AT bnl.gov>]

Hi folks,

I straightened out our sphenix setup script, they should work now for 
our various cvmfs volumes (sphenix.sdcc.bnl.gov and 
sphenix.opensciencegrid.org) and compilers (gcc 4.8.2 and gcc 8.3.1). 
Basically the sphenix setup script from a given area will set you up 
(and you can switch between them without remnants of the previous 
environment - except 3 backup copies of the previous LD_LIBRARY_PATH, 
PATH and MANPATH which are just kept for reference). For using the 
/cvmfs/sphenix.sdcc.bnl.gov volume outside of BNL you need to have the 
keys installed, the opensciencegrid volumes should be readable everywhere.

source 
/cvmfs/sphenix.sdcc.bnl.gov/x8664_sl7/opt/sphenix/core/bin/sphenix_setup.csh 
-n
will set you up for the sdcc cvmfs volume using gcc 4.8.2 (our default)
source 
/cvmfs/sphenix.sdcc.bnl.gov/gcc-8.3/opt/sphenix/core/bin/sphenix_setup.csh 
-n
will set you up for the sdcc cvmfs volume using gcc 8.3.1 (needed for acts)

if you use the opensciencegrid volumes use these:
source 
/cvmfs/sphenix.opensciencegrid.org/x8664_sl7/opt/sphenix/core/bin/sphenix_setup.csh 
-n
source 
/cvmfs/sphenix.opensciencegrid.org/gcc-8.3/opt/sphenix/core/bin/sphenix_setup.csh 
-n

For bash source the sphenix_setup.sh script instead of the csh script.

The nightly builds done on the sdcc volumes are rsynced automatically to 
the opensciencegrid volumes (some selection: new, play and ana). For gcc 
8.3.1 we only do the "new" build.

There is a lot of adjusting of include files and softlinks behind the 
scenery to make sure other volumes/compiler do not creep into a given 
environment - let me know if something doesn't work.

Chris
