2  Software Packages Used by LDAS

2.1  Building of 3rd party packages

The pkgbuilder building tool is now employed to greatly simplify the installation of third party packages. The environment variable LDASTOPSRCDIR must be set to use the rules given below. The value of this environment variable should be set to the fully qualified path of the top level directory of the LDAS source tree.
Before any of the packages can be installed, a directory of "/ldcg" must be created with read/write permissions for the user installing the software and read permissions for all other users. Although this directory is anchored at the root directory, it can reside anywhere there is sufficient space and have a symbolic link from there to "/ldcg." This needs to be added to the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables. To set this variable for bourne shell and its derivitives use "PATH=/ldcg/bin:${PATH}; export PATH". For C shell and its derivities use "setenv PATH /ldcg/bin:${PATH}". Also for C shell and derivitives the rehash command will be need to be executed after each package installation. To set this variable for bourne shell and its derivitives use "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/ldcg/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH". For C shell and its derivities use "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /ldcg/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}".
It is required to use stow. Please review the section dedicated to stow and install this package first.
The table below describes which packages are are needed for various configurations of LDAS. The columns "Solaris 10" and "CentOS 5.2/Intel" describe the operating system on which the LDAS software is to be compiled and run. The sub-column CVS stands for building of the LDAS system from the source in the CVS archive. The sub-column Tar-Ball stands for building of the LDAS system from a tar-ball distribution (ldas-x.x.x.tar.gz). The three field values are "Required", "Optional", and "RPM". A field value of "Required" means the package must be built. A field value of "Optional" means the package does not need to be built. A field value of "RPM" means that the package is required and can either be built from its sources or the RPM from RedHat may be used.

2.2  stow 1.3.3

2.2.1  Description

GNU Stow is a program for managing the installation of software packages, keeping them separate (/usr/local/stow/emacs vs. /usr/local/stow/perl, for example) while making them appear to be installed in the same place (/usr/local). Stow is a Perl script which should run correctly under Perl 5.005 and above. You must install Perl before running Stow. Stow was inspired by Carnegie Mellon's Depot program, but is substantially simpler.

2.4  zlib 1.1.4

2.4.1  Description

Zlib is designed to be a free, general-purpose, legally unencumbered, lossless data-compression library for use on virtually any computer hardware and operating system. The zlib data format is itself portable across platforms. Unlike the LZW compression method used in Unix compress(1), the compression method currently used in zlib essentially never expands the data. (LZW can double or triple the file size in extreme cases.) zlib's memory footprint is also independent of the input data and can be reduced, if necessary, at some cost in compression.

2.10  grep

2.10.1  Description

GNU grep is based on a fast lazy-state deterministic matcher (about twice as fast as stock Unix egrep) hybridized with a Boyer-Moore-Gosper search for a fixed string that eliminates impossible text from being considered by the full regexp matcher without necessarily having to look at every character. The result is typically many times faster than Unix grep or egrep.

2.12  findutils

2.12.1  Description

The findutils package consists of three programs. `find' is a program which searches a directory tree to find a file or group of files. It walks the directory tree and reports all occurences of a file matching the user's specifications. `locate' scans one or more databases of filenames and displays any matches. `xargs' builds and executes command lines by gathering together arguments it reads on the standard input. Most often, these arguments are lists of file names generated by `find'.

2.13  make 3.79.1

2.13.1  Description

GNU Make examines the timestamps on a set of interdependent files, and, if necessary, issues commands to bring them up-to-date. The user creates a makefile describing the files, their relationships, and the commands to run. Most often make is used to rebuild libraries and programs when their sources are changed, but it can be used for any situation where one set of files needs to be generated from another set.

2.16  automake

2.16.1  Description

Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefiles compliant with the GNU Coding Standards. It was inspired by the 4.4BSD make and include files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the GNU standards for Makefile variables and targets. Automake is a Perl script. The input files are called Makefile.am. The output files are called Makefile.in; They are intended for use with Autoconf. Automake requires certain things to be done in your configure.in. This package also includes the äclocal" program. aclocal is a program to generate an 'aclocal.m4' based on the contents of 'configure.in'. It is useful as an extensible, maintainable mechanism for augmenting autoconf.

2.25  swig

2.25.1  Description

SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is primarily used with common scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, and Ruby, however the list of supported languages also includes non-scripting languages such as Java, OCAML and C#. Also several interpreted and compiled Scheme implementations (Guile, MzScheme, Chicken) are supported. SWIG is most commonly used to create high-level interpreted or compiled programming environments, user interfaces, and as a tool for testing and prototyping C/C++ software. SWIG can also export its parse tree in the form of XML and Lisp s-expressions.

2.28  fftw3

2.28.1  Description

FFTW is a fast C FFT library. It includes complex, real, symmetric, multidimensional, and parallel transforms, and can handle arbitrary array sizes efficiently.It is typically faster than other freely available FFT implementations, and is even competitive with vendor-tuned libraries (benchmarks are available at the homepage). To achieve this performance, it uses novel code generation and runtime self optimization techniques (along with many other tricks).

3  Retrieving the Source

3.1  The Entire System

When building the entire system, there are two methods of obtaining the source code. The first is by ftping the tar-ball and the second is by CVS. The tar-ball distribution is the preferred method as this is a known stable version of the software. The CVS version is best for developers and others who need the latest developmental version of the LDAS software.

3.1.1  Tar-ball distribution

With the tar-ball distribution, all of the source code is contained in one large tar archive that has been compress with GNU zip. Use the command "gzip -dc <tar file> - tar xf -" to extract the sources. This will create a subdirectory ldas-<version>. The latest version can be obtained from http://ldas-sw.ligo.caltech.edu/packages/ldas-current.tar.gz.

3.1.2  CVS distribution

The CVS repository is available via the web. It is a good way to browse the code and look for changes that may have affected the system in an adverse way. The location is http://www.ldas-sw.ligo.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi.
To retrieve sources from CVS you must have access to the CVS repository. If you do not already have access and feel that you need access, please contact Kent Blackburn or Albert Lazzarini with your request.
There are two flags. The "-D<DATE>" flag retrieves the most recent revision of the file that is no later than <DATE>. The date format is versatile and supports most any format of dates. Please see the man or info page for CVS for a complete description. The reserved <DATE> of "now" can be used to retrieve the latest version of the source code.
The "-r<TAG>" flag retrieves files belonging to the specified <TAG>. These tags have several variations to support different efforts. The most common is "ldas-<major_version>_<minor_version>_<patch_version>". These represent the official releases of the LDAS software. The reserved <TAG> "HEAD" may be used to retrieve the latest version of the source code.
In all the commands listed below, it is assumed the most recent version of the software is desired. If not, please substitute "-rHEAD" with the appropriate flag as described above.

3.1.3  Getting the Full System

cvs export -rHEAD ldas

3.2  Getting Pieces

3.2.1  Required Pieces

cvs export -rHEAD -l ldas
cvs export -rHEAD -l ldas/lib
cvs export -rHEAD ldas/lib/perceps

3.2.2  A Single Library

cvs export -rHEAD ldas/<Library>

3.2.3  A Single API

cvs export -rHEAD -l ldas/api
cvs export -rHEAD ldas/api/<API>

4  Building the Source

4.1  Default configuration

The LDAS script "ldas-1.14.0/build-ldas" (or "ldas/build-ldas " if building from CVS) will examine the system, configure the software, and build all libraries and APIs. Currently the only supported operating systems are Solaris 10 and CentOS 5.2.

4.2  Custom configuration

There are many options to ldas-1.14.0/build-ldas to modify its default behavior. ldas-1.14.0/build-ldas takes options starting with two hyphens (--) as options that need to be passed to configure. Options that start with a single hyphen (-) are options interpreted only by ldas-1.14.0/build-ldas.
Of special note is the building of the metadataAPI. It is not necessary to build this API unless needing to interact with a database. The LDAS system uses DB2 under Solaris. On other systems, the iODBC library can be linked against to produce the shared object. The other option, which is cleaner, is the disabling of the building of the metadataAPI shared object. This is achieved by the --enable-metadata-api=no flag. See below.

4.2.1  ldas-1.14.0/build-ldas Options

Option NameDescription
-helpPrint help message and then exit
-config-onlyDo all steps up to and including configuration
-forceDon't stop make on errors
-installPerform the installation step.
-no-stowDon't use stow's installation paradigm.
-mail[=ADDR]Mail know warning messages and known error messages. If ADDR is specified it is used, else the mail is sent to the invoking user.
-parallel[=NUM]Make use of parallel make. If NUM is specified, then only spawn NUM subprocesses, else spawn as many as possible.
-tmpdir[=DIR]Specify the location of temporary files. The default value is the current directory.
-distcheckThis option causes the build process to verify the integrity of the build process by first creating a tarball and then running configure, make and make check using the files from the tarball. NOTE: This option will not work if used on a tarball distribution since the tarball distribution cannot make a tarball of itself. It is best to run make check by hand in the buid directory of a tarball distribution to verify the build at the unit level.
-warn-unsupported-compilerThis option allows the user to try compiling with a compiler that has not been certified. It changes the error level of unsupported compiler from fail to warning. If this option is used with a supported compiler, no message is generated.

4.2.2  Configure Options

OptionDescription
--prefix=PREFIXinstall architecture-independent files in PREFIX [/ldas/ldas-0.0]
--enable-metadata-api[=yes]build the metadata API
--disable-tclSpecifically disable all TCL bindings. This was added for building the datacond library package without TCL.
--with-extra-cxxflagsAdditional C++ compiler flags
--with-extra-ldflagsAdditional linker flags
--with-ldflagsReplace linker flags
--with-mountptSpecify frame builder directory
--with-optimization Compiler optimization [extreme - high - medium - low - none]
--enable-inliningforces inlining of code
--with-ospace[=DIR]ObjectSpace directory

4.2.3  ldas-1.14.0/build-ldas Options - View status of the LDAS build

The options described here should be used after the build-script completes with the compilation of the LDAS software. The will grep the log files and return information about how the compilation completed. If there is a need to examine the full context of messages, the log files are in a subdirectory of the build-ldas script of: "`uname`-`uname -m`/build_logs".
Option NameDescription
-errorsDisplay known error messages in all log files
-errors-makeDisplay known error messages in make log file
-statusDisplay build process currently executing along with directory listing of log files sorted by time last modified
-warningsDisplay known warning message in all log files
-warnings-makeDisplay known warning messages in make log file

5  Installing LDAS

Once LDAS has been built using ldas-1.14.0/build-ldas, the resulting header files, libraries, scripts and executables must be installed. These instructions are given relative to ldas/"`uname`-`uname -m`".
test -d /ldas/stow_pkgs - - mkdir -p /ldas/stow_pkgs
sh
  cd /ldas/stow_pkgs
  for dir in *
  do
    stow -delete $dir
  done
exit
make install
sh
  cd /ldas
  rm -rf stow_pkgs/ldas-1.14.0 2>&1 > /dev/null
  mkdir -p stow_pkgs/ldas-1.14.0 2>&1 > /dev/null
  for dir in shared lib bin doc include
  do
    mv $dir stow_pkgs/ldas-1.14.0
  done
  cd stow_pkgs
  stow ldas-1.14.0
exit
