Access to the latest update of SIMDET is obtainable via the dev branch on the Web page
"http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/linear_collider".
The code of the newest SIMDET development version is provided
as zipped tar file from a "cvs checkout Simdet".
One can get it via the CVSWEB access, see:
http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/lc_repository/detector_simulation/dev/SIMDET/readme.html .
Un-taring the tarball creates a Simdet directory (and subdirectories). The Simdet subdirectory
itself contains a configure script which generates the required Makefiles for the installation.
The configure script accepts several options which can be visited by the invocation
"configure -h" .
Running configure and after that gmake the executables of
simdet and sianal are created. Optionally one can run a gmake test.
Since Revision 1.16 the executables and the results of gmake test
are stored in the subdirectory siuser.
If an option is used by the data cards (e.g. zipped output of events) but not installed,
Simdet will send a message to the standard output and exit. However, if Simdet is installed with gzio
it is still possible to use the un-zipped output for events.
