GeoModelTools
Tools and utilities for GeoModel-based detector description projects. This includes the CLHEP ExpressionEvaluator (which was moved here to use throughout the project without linking against CLHEP), an XML parser (GeoModelXMLParser) and a JSON Parser. The GeoModelTools installation requires the GeoModel suite (GeoModelCore, GeoModelIO), Eigen3, XercesC, nlohmann.
Installation
Detailed installation procedures are available for each and every package, here is a brief and not-exhaustive list of
installation procedures for many of them, just bear in mind prepackaged versions are already available (e.g.
brew install eigen
on Mac). Note also that the following procedures install libraries and files under /usr/local, for
a local installation use the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX flag, e.g. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install ...
it is suggested to create a local work directory where all code will be downloaded/built. E.g.
mkdir geomodel_work; cd geomodel_work
Eigen
git clone https://github.com/eigenteam/eigen-git-mirror.git mkdir build_eigen; cd build_eigen cmake ../eigen-git-mirror sudo make install cd ..
XercesC
from http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/download.cgi download e.g. xerces-c-3.2.2.tar.gz
tar zxvf xerces-c-3.2.2.tar.gz mkdir build_xercesc; cd build_xercesc cmake ../xerces-c-3.2.2 make -j sudo make install cd ..
nlohmann
git clone https://github.com/nlohmann/json.git mkdir build_json; cd build_json cmake ../json sudo make install cd ..
GeoModel tool suite
Note: GeoModelVisualization requires Qt5 and other libraries. Please refer to the gmex documentation
