1. Using git to get
mxCuBE
ready to install on
your beamlines

2. Current situation : how to get mxCuBE ?
This is confusing !
SVN repository on
RPM packages (blissbuilder/blissinstaller)
Files on
Even by (tar.gz !)
And also it has
problems :
Missing dependencies (e.g PyChooch)
No examples for XML files
Obstacle to any collaboration
M. Guijarro / BCU / ISDD – mxCuBE meeting,

3. Solutions
Let’s stop relying on RPMs (causes problems with binaries on non-ESRF compatible platforms)
Let’s use the new forge available for the whole ESRF campus instead of blissgarden.org (maintained by real sysadmins, enhanced reliability)
Let’s have a single mxCuBE repository, with all dependencies + XML files examples
Let’s use a decentralized RCS (helps people to work on different branches easily, more powerful)
… and also : really use the same repository for the ESRF version of mxCuBE !

The new Forge :
Feel free to register
There is a mxCuBE project
Includes issue tracker, mailing-list, files sharing…

5. Git Repository One single repository for mxCuBE
Dependencies are handled as submodules (i.e links to other Git repositories)
Please read the Git manual! And keep it under your pillow…

8. (by default PyChooch.so file will go mxCuBE/lib/python)
Getting started (1/2)
0) Pre-requisities: Python 2.5/6/7, PyQt3, PyQwt5, libgsl
1) Compiling & installing PyChooch extension
mxCuBE]$ cd PyChooch
PyChooch]$ python setup.py install
(by default PyChooch.so file will go mxCuBE/lib/python)
2) Compiling & installing Qub
mxCuBE]$ cd Qub/CTools
Qub/CTools]$ python setup.py install install-lib=./lib
The following additional steps are required for those extensions: pixmaptools, opencv, qwttools (replace X with the extension name)
Qub/CTools]$ cd X
Qub/Ctools/X]$ python configure.py; make
Qub/Ctools/X]$ cp X.so ../lib/

9. Getting started (2/2) 3) PyMca Now let’s run mxCuBE :
mxCuBE]$ cd PyMca
PyMca]$ python setup.py install install-lib=./lib
Now let’s run mxCuBE :
mxCuBE]$ hwrServer --daemon
mxCuBE]$ mxCuBE
