To build GENFIT cmake is needed in version 2.6 or higher.

To create the library, create a build directory and change into it. E.g.
  mkdir build; cd build
 
Now create the Makefiles by invoking:
  cmake ..
 
On some systems with an older boost version, you instead might have to type (cf. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9948375/cmake-find-package-succeeds-but-returns-wrong-path):
  cmake .. -DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE=ON

And build:
  make
 
The libraries are created in the subdirectory lib/ of the build directory.

To install the libraries and copy all header files into the directories lib/ and
include/ in the root directory of the project, invoke
  make install

 
To build the doxygen:
  make doc
  
To build the examples/tests (also see README in test/):
  make tests



To build GFRave and the vertexing examples, you need an installation of Rave (https://rave.hepforge.org/), and the environment variable RAVEPATH set.
  export RAVEPATH=<yourRaveDirectory>
