The Glasgow DD4hep installation is located in /afs/phas.gla.ac.uk/data/ilc/software/DD4hep. This wiki describes how this software package was built.

Building DD4hep on a linux box with ILCSoft already installed

Ingredients

ILCSoft installation
DD4hep

Installation Steps

On top a a working ILCSoft installation, say v01-17:

get DD4hep with 'svn co https://svnsrv.desy.de/public/aidasoft/DD4hep/trunk DD4hep'
cd DD4hep
mkdir build
source /afs/phas.gla.ac.uk/data/ilc/software/ilcsoft/v01-17/init_ilcsoft.sh
cd build/
cmake -DBUILD_TESTING=On ..
make install

Troubleshooting:

better to have a working ILCSoft installation, else, if trying to install from scratch it gets very complicated
Root older than 5.34 gives problems at compilation (mismatching function prototypes)

Added:

>
>

for the last compilation, had to edit CMakeLists.txt and insert an add_subdirectory(DDG4) on line 156, and then change in DDG4/include/DDG4/IoStreams.h two things: boost/iostreams/detail/path.hpp to boost/filesystem/path.hpp and boost::iostreams::detail::path to boost::filesystem::path.

Testing:

[protopop@ppepc102 build]$ make test
Running tests...
Test project /afs/phas.gla.ac.uk/user/p/protopop/ilc_soft/DD4hep/build
    Start 1: t_test_example
1/3 Test #1: t_test_example ...................   Passed    0.52 sec
    Start 2: t_test_units
2/3 Test #2: t_test_units .....................   Passed    0.50 sec
    Start 3: t_test_surface
3/3 Test #3: t_test_surface ...................   Passed    0.36 sec

100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 3

Total Test time (real) =   1.73 sec

First example

cd DD4hep
(source /afs/phas.gla.ac.uk/data/ilc/software/ilcsoft/v01-17/init_ilcsoft.sh)
source ./bin/thisdd4hep.sh
cd examples/firstExample
mkdir build; cd build/
cmake -DDD4hep_DIR=../../ ../
make -j
./bin/Test_execute ../compact/Sensor_Test.xml

You will see something like this:
