Generation of Geometry Files


To generate a new version of the geometry files, follow these steps

1)   Ensure that you've set up your environment correctly for working with the SLT code.

2)  Copy recursively everything in the directory, /afs/desy.de/group/hera-b/SLT/slt/CnA, to your private area, "cp -pr * /my/personal/area".  This will be a large area, so it should probably go into a scratch directory.

3)  There are two makefiles in this area, Makefile.binary (for producing binary output) and Makefile.ascii (for ascii output).  Edit these files so that the run arguement -sltdumpdir and the variable bindir point to your own areas.

4)  To overcome a "feature" of arte, you'll have to set a symbolic link called "Makefile" pointing at the makefile desired.

5)  Type "gmake run".  If an error occurs with a reference to "text file busy", simply repeat the command "gmake run", and everything should work.
