It was written in C++ by the techs at CERN to +explore the benefits of object oriented programming in physics data +analysis. It consists of libraries, CINT or cling interpreter for +C/C++, plotting interface and powerful parellel processing support. +It is the preferred choice in many laboratories. + +It comes with A LOT of different options for compilation. And it +seems impossible to stress all of them in this one script. Therefore +the potential user is strongly advised to check the configure +script. + +The script was written to suit basic offline data analysis with +possible GSL and FFTW support with full documentation and tutorials. +It should be more than enough for normal user. + +It has 2 optional dependencies: GSL (accessible from SlackBuilds) +and fftw (part of the official Slackware packages). + +Script has also mathmore support, for which one needs to GSL. + +Compilation takes quite a while. + +To steer the SlackBuild script, run it with these variables: + +GSL=yes(no) MATHMORE=yes(no) FFTW=yes(no) QT=yes(no) ./root.SlackBuild + +where the values in brackets are the default values that will +be used unless specified otherwise. + +Note that by default this script will install things in /usr/ROOT: +it will add /usr/ROOT/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX to /etc/ld.so.conf and a +profile.d script to set the correct PATHs. -- cgit v1.2.3
