Installation Instructionsfor CbmRoot at GSI
*******************************************

There are two different ways to produce the required Makefiles for
the project. The first one makes use of the autotools (autoconf/automake).
The second and new way is to use cmake to produce the required Makefiles
for the project.

From end of august 2007 there will be only cmake as build system.

1. Using cmake
==============

a) Set the environment variable for the root of the external packages
   (GEANT3, GEANT4, ROOT etc.)

    > export SIMPATH="path to root of external packages"

b) create a seperate build directory

    > mkdir MyBuild
    > cd MyBuild

c) run cmake to create the Makefiles

    > cmake "Path_to_CbmRoot_top_directory"

d) execute the config script to export all necessary environment variables
   
    > . ./config.sh

e) create and install the framework

    > make
    > make install
