How to use testtoolchain.py and checkLCGrelease.py

The script "testtoolchain.py" checks correctness of links inside of releases in accordance with toolchain file. The other script "checkLCGrelease.py" checks correctness and existences of links and directories for releases in correspondence with txt files that were generated during creation of releases.

Suppose we will use the directory /tmp (it can be any directory with full rights)for checkout from svn:

cd /tmp
git clone https://gitlab.cern.ch/sft/lcgcmake.git

Here we take /tmp/lcgcmake-build as build path, /tmp/lcgcmake-install-opt as installation path, x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt as platform (which means that we configure gcc as gcc 4.8.X), LCG_70root6 as release.

After installation of releases or for checking existed releases we can use utility's as followed:

Example of use testtoolchain.py:

python /tmp/lcgcmake/cmake/scripts/testtoolchain.py /tmp/lcgcmake/cmake/toolchain . x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt 70root6

Parameters:

1. /tmp/lcgcmake/cmake/toolchain - directory where toolchain files are

2. . - directory where uotput file with name like: tlchn_LCG70root6_x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt.txt will be stored (in this case in current directory)

3. x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt - platform (can be x86_64-slc6-gcc48-dbg or i686-slc6-gcc48-opt)

4. 70root6 - release

5. (optional) - put a directory if releases are not in /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/releases/

Example of use checkLCGrelease.py:

python /tmp/lcgcmake/cmake/scripts/checkLCGrelease.py . x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt 70root6

Parameters:

1. . - directory where uotput file with name like: test_LCG_70root6_plt_x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt.txt will be stored (in this case in current directory)

2. x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt - platform

3. 70root6 - release

4. (optional) - put a directory if releases are not in /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/releases/
