Dear user, the StatisticsTesting package is now build using the standard autotool suite. So after unpacking the tarball, you can run simply run configure and make (for examples see below). You will need some packages to be installed on your system, depending on what you would like to do: To build the "core" StatisticsTesting package, you need to install the GSL package (version 1.5 or later) and set the --with-gsl option in the configure step. To build and run the tests you need in addition the CLHEP package installed (1.9.2.2 or newer) and set the corresponding --with-clhep configure option. For the user-layers, you can choose which one to configure (AIDA or ROOT (or both as is the default)), simply supply the path to one of them to the corresponding --with- option and remove the other one (or provide both, if you want both). If you have these packages installed in /usr/local, you don't need to do anything as this is the default location for the packages. Make sure that you have set environment variables which your user-layer may need (like ROOTSYS and/or PI_DIR) to their proper values. To configure to build and run the tests for both user-layers, type (replacing the /your/path/to/... parts with the actual paths of your installation): ./configure --prefix=/your/path/to/install \ --with-gsl=/your/path/to/GSL \ --with-clhep=/your/path/to/CLHEP \ --with-aida=/your/path/to/AIDAInstallation \ --with-root=/your/path/to/root make This will configure the toolkit for all presently available user layers and build the StatisticsTesting lib. Note that you need to have GSL installed to build the lib. For building and running the tests you need CLHEP and either an AIDA implementation and/or an installation of ROOT. By default these are looked up in /usr/local, so if you have installed them there, you don't need to specify anything. In order to build all the tests, do: make check To run them all, do: make runtests from the top level directory. You can also do this from the corresponding "unitTests" subdirectory in each package (for that package only). Have a look for tests which fail. Once the tool is build, you should run make install which will install the lib and the headers for all configured UserLayers in the directory specified by the --preifx option to configure. This step also creates a setup.sh in /bin/ which can be 'source'd and will set up the runtime environment for the installation: source /bin/setup.sh will prepare the runtime environment (PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to use the toolkit.
