cd /some/directory
git clone https://github.com/werthm/CaLib.git
cd CaLib
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j
export CALIB="/some/directory/CaLib"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$CALIB/build/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export PATH="$CALIB/build/bin:$PATH"

It is recommended to set all environment variables in your shell configuration file.

• The database has to be updated to version 5 using

root -b $CALIB/macros/Upgrade_5.C

• The database has to be updated to version 4 using

root -b $CALIB/macros/Upgrade_4.C

• Exports to ROOT files created with CaLib < 0.3.0 cannot be imported by Calib > 0.3.0!

• The database has to be updated to version 3 using

root -b $CALIB/macros/Upgrade_3.C

• Exports to ROOT files created with CaLib < 0.2.0 cannot be imported by Calib > 0.2.0!

All the configuration is done in config/config.cfg.
config/example.cfg contains comments and basic settings that should help to understand the configuration. Rename this example file to config.cfg and modify it according to your setup.

The ROOT html documentation can be built by setting the cmake variable -DDOCS=ON. Located in the directory htmldoc it gives an overview of the CaLib library and all of its classes. Further information and examples can be found in the macros directory.
