egsnrc_clrp's Issues

Inconsistent restrictions on density corrections file for loading egsphant with egs_glib

See here.

Probably related to the following commit: 6701c61

Note that part of this feature removed from the PR on the NRC repository.

Lock file delays in egs-parallel-cpu breaks URCO submission

The following lines in egs-parallel-cpu are not compatible with the uniform run control object because no lock file is created when using URCO:

EGSnrc_CLRP/HEN_HOUSE/scripts/egs-parallel-cpu

Lines 156 to 169 in 7098217

	if [ $job -eq 1 ]; then
	exitLoopCount=0
	while [ ! -f $basename".lock" ]; do
	exitLoopCount=$((exitLoopCount + 1))
	log "$jobstr: waiting for "$basename".lock generation, attempt "$exitLoopCount
	/bin/sleep $delay
	if [ $exitLoopCount -eq 12 ]; then
	log "$jobstr: did not find "$basename".lock after "$exitLoopCount" attempts..."
	log "$jobstr: ensure "$basename"runs interactively or try using longer delay,"
	log "$jobstr: aborting submission script."
	exit
	fi
	done
	fi

Perhaps EGSncr_CLRP should offer an egs-parallel-clrp that calls this modified egs-parallel-cpu (maybe call it egs-parallel-cpu-clrp) and leave the original script unmodified, to allow users to use the URCO option.

Update to new version of EGSnrc

I’m opening this issue to remind ourselves to update our EGSnrc distribution to the latest release.

Distribute static builds of egs_view

Installing Qt is a big pain, especially on a system where you don't have admin rights.

I suggest we eventually spend the time to create and distribute a static build of egs_view. Instructions for Linux and macOS are on the EGSnrc wiki.

For Windows, we can ask @rtownson for assistance.

Segmentation fault -> EXC_BAD_ACCESS

A stack trace when running egs_brachy through a debugger gives the following error (occurs on the order of 10e6 histories into the simulation):

  1This version of LLDB has no plugin for the language "fortran90". Inspection of frame variables will be limited.

sobol and egs_sobol libraries do not get built on Windows

I ended up with a Windows laptop at work, so I'm trying to get egs_brachy to run properly on Windows.

I'm stuck at the part where building egs_autoenvelope does not create .dll and .lib files for sobol and egs_sobol.

@randlet any ideas?
