Adapt build system to new FairSoft and FairRoot versions

Administrator authored 4 years ago

Add support for C++17
Check for c++ version c++11 or above (11, 14 or 17). With this change it
becomes possible to compile CbmRoot with C++17.

Add missing library.
The FairMQ state machine is now in an extra library which has to be added
for linking when using FairSoft nov20. Test if the library exist and create
the list of dependencies accordingly.

Add missing include directory.
VMC is not any longer included in ROOT but a standealone package, so the
include directory has to be added such that the header files are found.

Add gtest as an optional external package.
With the latest version of FairSoft googletest was removed due to a
recommendation of the gtest developers. Since gtest is no longer part of
FairSoft we have to provide an own version which is compiled as external
project.

Add proper dependency to external gtest project
This dependency is needed to compile the test only if the gtest library is
already available.

Fix compilation error with FairRoot v18.4.2 on macosx
In FairRoot v18.4.2 some linker settings were removed from the CMake setup.
This breaks the compilation of CbmRoot. Put back the needed seetings for the
linker on macosx in our build system.

Fix NicaFemto installation

Installation Instructions for for CbmRoot

1. Dependencies

1.1 Compiler

To be able to compile CbmRoot a compiler with full C++11 support is needed. GCC since version 4.8 and clang since version 3.4 are known to work without problems.

1.2 FairSoft

To install, compile, and run CbmRoot several external programs are required. This are for example Root, Geant3 or Geant4. The complete list can be found on the FairRoot webpage (fairroot.gsi.de). Since most of these programs can't be installed using the package manager of the used Linux distribution, or at least can't be installed in the required version, the FairRoot team provides a GIT repository with all needed packages and some scripts to automatically build and install these so called external packages.

Detailed instructions how to get and compile FairSoft (aka external packages) can be found at the following webpage

https://redmine.cbm.gsi.de/projects/cbmroot/wiki/Install_External_Packages

Please make sure SQLite is installed on your system before compiling FairSoft, as this is required by CbmRoot. Failing compile FairSoft with SQLite support will lead to a crash during the CbmRoot compilation. To install SQLite on Debian/Ubuntu and OpenSuse use

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev

OpenSuse:

sudo zypper install sqlite3 sqlite3-devel

It is currently not recommended to install FairSoft (and likewise FairRoot and CbmRoot) with administrator privileges, as this may create conflicts with existing software. For an installation which is to be shared between users on a MacOS or linux system it is recommended to use the opt/ folder. Consider also using the auto installer (see section 3).

If you are working at GSI there are always ready-to-use versions of FairSoft available. For detailed information please check the following wiki page

https://redmine.cbm.gsi.de/projects/cbmroot/wiki/RunCbmGSI

1.3 FairRoot

CbmRoot is based on FairRoot, a package which meanwhile serves several experiments as base for their developments. Beside FairSoft you need also to install FairRoot to be able to compile CbmRoot

Detailed instructions how to get and compile FairRoot can be found at the following webpage

https://redmine.cbm.gsi.de/projects/cbmroot/wiki/InstallFairRoot

2. Recommended versions

GCC : >= 4.8 or Clang: >= 3.4

FairSoft: jun19p2

FairRoot: v18.2.1

3. Automatic installation

To make the installation more easy we provide a script which automatically gets and installs FairSoft, FairRoot, and CbmRoot in one go. The script always take the correct FairSoft and FairRoot versions. The full description of this process is at

https://redmine.cbm.gsi.de/projects/cbmroot/wiki/InstallCbmRootAuto

The one line command which has to be executed inside the CbmRoot source directory is

./autoinstall_framework.sh 1 1 1

4. Further remarks

Compiling CbmRoot with multicore support using "make -j", without specifying the number of threads is known to cause MacOS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS systems to freeze. Please explicitly choose a number of cores which is suitable for your system.
