GPUhack building and installing McStas

Build a McStas 3.0-dev from your local checkout (could also be done similarly on your own machine)

hpclogin2(username) $ cd McCode
hpclogin2(username) $ ./build_loc_3.0_tree 

(Will check out mcstas-3.0 branch automatically and give loads of output)

To run your newly built McStas, execute

hpclogin2(username) $ $HOME/McStas/mcstas/3.0-dev/environment

which should give you:

The new shell started here is now set up for running this version of mcstas:
