[WIP] Changes for MG_2_9_16 & CMSSW #40

Closed ajgilbert closed 1 month ago

ajgilbert commented 1 year ago

This version designed to work in CMSSW_11_3_X (same as combine for CMS users), while still also working standalone
env.sh will now check for lhapdf-config in the PATH, and use that instead of installing lhapdf locally
When making a LO gridpack, MG no longer generates any actual events, which we need in order to run and precompile the reweight module. To work around this we now generate some events manually.
Several old MG patches are no longer needed, but at least one patch needed for the reweight code
[x] Not yet done: need to force that f2py3 is picked up

It could be useful also to add set auto_convert_model T in the madgraph configuration in scripts/setup_mg5.sh, so that it would automatically convert py2 modules (e.g. smeftsim3 ones)

@fstaeg I updated a few things recently - bumped rivet to a newer version which seems to fix the strange compile errors in some of the built-in routines. So I think the only remaining problem would be the environment where cmake3 is not available?

fstaeg commented 9 months ago

now it all compiles, i just had to do two extra steps in the environment i use:

export PATH=$PATH:/cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/releases/LCG_100/CMake/3.20.0/x86_64-centos7-gcc9-opt/bin
remove CMAKE=cmake3 from line 9 in scripts/setup_rivet.sh
