Testing the Chirp plugin for Root. 1. Get the Chirp source code from www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/chirp. Define an environment variable pointing to the the location where you installed it: export CHIRP_LOCATION=/usr/local/chirp 2. Make Chirp: cd chirp make 3. Get the Root source code (v3.03.09) from root.cern.ch. 4. Get the Chirp plugin patch for Root from http://www.hep.wisc.edu/~dan/chirp/root_chirp_patch. Apply this patch to the root source. (NOTE: modern versions of ROOT already have this patch, so you can skip this step.) mv root root_v3.03.09 cd root_v3.03.09 patch -p1 < ../root_chirp_patch 5. Configure root, replacing /usr/local/root with the path to the location where you want to install root: export ROOTSYS=/usr/local/root ./configure linux \ --with-chirp-libdir=$CHIRP_LOCATION/lib \ --with-chirp-incdir=$CHIRP_LOCATION/include 6. Build and install root: make make install 7. Add the following to your shell environment setup, (replacing /usr/local/root with the path to the location where you installed it): export ROOTSYS=/usr/local/root export PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 8. Get the test application from http://www.hep.wisc.edu/~dan/chirp/root-chirp-test.tgz. 9. Unpack and compile the test (not in AFS). cd root-chirp-test make 10. Submit the test to Condor: condor_submit root-chirp-test.cdr tail -f condor.log
