Data processing for serial (femtosecond) crystallography at FELs and synchrotrons: indexamajig, partialator, process_hkl, cell_explorer, the CrystFEL GUI and friends.

How it is built

Source tarball from https://desy.de/~twhite/crystfel/ (sha256-verified), built with meson per upstream INSTALL.md: meson setup build --prefix=$PREFIX && meson compile -C build && meson install -C build.

Upstream warns: do NOT have any conda environment active while building. Build-host prerequisites (meson, ninja, gcc, and the C libraries: hdf5, gsl, and optionally cairo/gdk-pixbuf/gtk for the GUI, fftw, zmq) must be available on the Ra build node -- add build_requires: entries in files/config.yaml if matching Ra modules are needed.

Loading the module puts $PREFIX/bin on PATH.

Building on Ra

module use unstable && module load modbuild/2.1.2
cd crystfel
modbuild build 0.13.0
module use MX unstable && module load crystfel/0.13.0 && indexamajig --version

Verifying the install

module use MX unstable && module load crystfel/0.13.0
which indexamajig
indexamajig --version
cell_explorer         # GUI check, needs X

Adding a new version

Add the version under versions: and its tarball sha256 under shasums: in files/config.yaml, then on a Ra login node: modbuild build <version> (modbuild/2.1.2).
