How to install: Make sure you are using the latest version of PandaRoot! Download the files from svn to a folder of your choice. (I suggest not to use a folder in $VMCWORKDIR.) svn co https://subversion.gsi.de/fairroot/pandaroot/development/mgaluska/eventFilter Copy FairLinkDef.h CMakeLists.txt to $VMCWORKDIR/base and replace the existing files. Copy all other files to $VMCWORKDIR/base/sim and replace existing files. Recompile PandaRoot. Take a look at sim_complete.C for example usage of event filters in PandaRoot. First make sure you did not change your original files and delete them, then you can run: cp FairLinkDef.h $VMCWORKDIR/base cp CMakeLists.txt $VMCWORKDIR/base cp * $VMCWORKDIR/base/sim Alternatively, you can use the script link.sh to delete the files in PandaRoot and to set hard links. Please read the script before you run it: It deletes the old files automatically!
