Running GiBUU on a Windows System

Step 1: Downloading the code

For GiBUU developers

1. Install ​putty on your system
   • At JLU Giessen you may also use the ​automatic network installation: Choose "Weitere Software" and then "putty".
2. Set up a ssh-key pair to be used with putty.
   • cf. ​http://www.noah.org/wiki/Tortoise_SVN_with_PuTTY
3. Install ​tortoise on your system
4. Make sure "Pageant" is running and your ssh-key is loaded.
5. Download GiBUU to your windows hard drive. Details:
   1. Right click on your Desktop: After installing ​tortoise a menu item "SVN checkout" should be available.
   2. Left click on "SVN checkout".
   3. Enter in the field "URL of repository"

      svn+ssh://yourName@tp11.physik.uni-giessen.de/home/svn/buu/GiBUU/   
      

      to download the code. Replace "yourName" by your user name ;)
   4. Choose checkout directory, e.g.

      C:\GiBUU 
      

      • Please take care, that the full path where you store GiBUU does not include any blanks.
      • Especially "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\..." is no good, but "C:\GiBUU" is fine!
   5. Click on "ok", and then "yes" to create the checkout directory.

For normal users

1. Get your login account or just ​login.
2. Download the ​tar-ball to your system.
   • Please take care, that the path where you store the tar-ball does not include blanks.
   • Especially "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\..." is no good, but "C:\work\" is fine!

Step 2: Compiling & Running GiBUU

1. Download ​cygwin
2. Setup cygwin. In the package selection choose additionally:
   • devel/gcc4-fortran
   • devel/make
   • utils/which
   • utils/bzip2
3. After the installation finished, start cygwin.
4. Go to the GiBUU directory
   • If you downloaded the tar ball, change to the download directory (e.g.

      cd /cygdrive/c/work 
     

     Now unpack the tar-ball

     tar xzf tarballName.tgz
     

   • If you used svn to get the code, then simply "cd" to the code directory, e.g.

     cd /cygdrive/c/GiBUU
     

5. Go to workingCode and type

   make renew
   

   and thereafter

   make
   

6. After make is done, you will find the executable "main.x" in the "testRun" directory, where you can run GiBUU with the command

   ./main.x < jobCardName
   

   Sample jobcards are available in testRun/jobCards, cf. also our FAQ page for more informations.
