find package of cmake takes care for the path setting. In most case, you do not have to specify _INCLUDE path, etc. The workaround is in the right way. |
Hi, I am new to Geant4 and wish to install its python G4py version. I tried to follow the instructions that I found online for installing both on MacOS High Sierra (clang and anaconda3). Initially, I came across an issue when I make G4py, which starts with: [ 0%] Building CXX object source/intercoms/CMakeFiles/pyG4intercoms.dir/pyG4UIcommand.cc.o /Users/diana/Documents/opt/geant4/environments/g4py/source/intercoms/pyG4UIcommand.cc/Users/diana/Documents/opt/geant4/environments/g4py/source/interface/pyG4UIterminal.cc::3131::1010:: fatal errorfatal error: : 'boost/python.hpp' file not found 'boost/python.hpp' file not found #include <boost/python.hpp> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include <boost/python.hpp> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 error generated. make[2]: *** [source/intercoms/CMakeFiles/pyG4intercoms.dir/pyG4UIcommand.cc.o] Error 1 Which I reported in the forum https://geant4-forum.web.cern.ch/t/error-with-python-hpp-for-macos-clang-anaconda3/1256. At that time, I was using the following commands to install Geant4 and g4py: # Geant4 git clone https://gitlab.cern.ch/geant4/geant4.git cd geant4 GEANT4_DIR=/Users/diana/Documents/opt/geant4 GEANT4_INSTALL=$GEANT4_DIR/geant4-install mkdir $GEANT4_INSTALL GEANT4_BUILD=$GEANT4_DIR/geant4-build mkdir $GEANT4_BUILD cd $GEANT4_BUILD cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$GEANT4_INSTALL -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=ON $GEANT4_BUILD make -j 4 make install # Python interface of Geant4 export GEANT4_INSTALL=/Users/diana/Documents/opt/geant4/geant4-install cd ../environments/g4py/ mkdir build cd build BOOST_DIR=/anaconda3/pkgs/libboost-1.67.0-hebc422b_4 XERCESC_DIR=/anaconda3/pkgs/xerces-c-3.2.2-h4db8090_1003 BOOST_ROOT=$BOOST_DIR cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=$BOOST_DIR -DBoost_INCLUDE_DIR=$BOOST_DIR/include -DBOOST_LIBRARY=$BOOST_DIR/lib -DXERCESC_INCLUDE_DIR=$XERCESC_DIR/include -DXERCESC_LIBRARY=$XERCESC_DIR/lib .. make -j 4 (when the error mentioned above occurs) Have you ever encountered this issue before? Do you have any recommendation on how to fix it? Recently, I found a work-around for this issue that involves not setting any paths for the cmake command. So right now I just follow the commands below: # Geant4 git clone https://gitlab.cern.ch/geant4/geant4.git cd geant4 mkdir build cd build cmake -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=ON $GEANT4_BUILD make -j 4 make install # g4py cd ../environments/g4py/ mkdir build cd build cmake .. make -j 4 (when a new error reported in https://bugzilla-geant4.kek.jp/show_bug.cgi?id=2201 occurs) My environment is: *Environment:* - MacOS High Sierra - clang 10.0.0 - conda 4.7.12 - cmake 3.15.5 - XQuartz 2.7.11 - python 3.7.5 - boost 1.67.0 - xerces-c 3.2.2 I decided to post this here in case you knew how to fix the issue or if this is the best work-around for it.
