from (Olivier Dadoun) Hello, I am trying to install geant4.9.3 on my mac os x under snow leopard. During the QT phase detection (the ./Configure -build phase) I have this error (my Qt paht is good) checking for qglobal.h... /usr/local/Qt4.6-64/include/QtCore/qglobal.h checking Qt major version... 4 checking for QtGui headers... yes checking for QtOpenGL headers... yes checking for QtCore library... no checking for moc... /usr/local/Qt4.6-64/bin/moc Checking /usr/local/Qt4.6-64/bin/moc major version is 4... yes Autodetection failed to locate Qt3 or Qt4 in on your system. Please enter the path to your Qt3 OR Qt4 install (i.e. if Qt4 is installed in PATH/include/QT, PATH/include or PATH/include/qt4, enter PATH), or type '-' to CANCEL the build of the Qt UI module. does anyone have an idea (Laurent for example :) ) ? by advance thank you cheers Olivier
Hi, There is two problems... First, Configure step has a problem holding "by hand" Qt path on mac OSX. In order to do that, you have to patch the Configure file. Around line 2500, after : if test "x\$g4_qt_lib" = "x" ; then # We might be on Windows... g4_qt_lib="\`ls \$g4_qt_lib_dir/QtCore4.lib 2> /dev/null | sed -n 1p | sed s@\$g4_qt_lib_dir/@@\`" fi Add : if test "x\$g4_qt_lib" = "x" ; then # We might be on Mac... g4_qt_lib="\`ls \$g4_qt_lib_dir/QtCore* 2> /dev/null | sed -n 1p | sed s@\$g4_qt_lib_dir/@@ | sed s@[.].*@@\`" fi But that will not solve your problem... :( Because what you will have is a Qt Framework. In order to add your own Framework path, you add to patch a second time Configure, around line 2290 after : g4_qt_include_path_list=" \`ls -dr /Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Headers 2>/dev/null\` Add path to YOUR QtCore Framework installation : \`ls -dr /usr/local/Qt4.6-64bits....../QtCore.framework/Headers 2>/dev/null\` Before Configure file is patch, Anyone has a better solution ?

Hi Olivier, It's likely to be due to the directory structure where the Qt libraries are installed. Could you please post here the list of directories under /usr/local/Qt4.6-64, and especially where the QtCore library is located? Also, how did you install Qt? Via a pre-packaged SDK or build/install yourself? Cheers, Ben.
Hi Ben, I reinstall Qt (using build/install way) without defining --prefix option. So Qt install by default everything in /usr/local/Trolltech. Even with that the geant4 Configure file is not correct, the Laurent's modifications is needed. cheers Olivier (In reply to comment #2) > Hi Olivier, > > It's likely to be due to the directory structure where the Qt libraries are > installed.

Hi Olivier, O.k., and could you still post the directory structure *especially* where the libraries are located. I *need* this to be able to fix Configure... I'm a little confused though (probably because I'm not a Qt/Mac expert) - you said that everything was installed in /usr/local/Trolltech, but things looked like they ended up in /usr/local/Qt4.6-64. Is that a softlink or something else? Cheers, Ben.
sorry there is a misunderstanding. This location /usr/local/Qt4.6-64 was my old QT installation . Now everything is installed /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.6.0 where those folders are presents: bin doc include mkspecs plugins translations demos examples lib phrasebooks q3porting.xml Concerning the lib folder: Qt3Support.framework QtOpenGL.framework QtXmlPatterns.la Qt3Support.la QtOpenGL.la QtXmlPatterns_debug.la Qt3Support_debug.la QtOpenGL_debug.la QtXml_debug.la QtAssistant.framework QtScript.framework libQtCLucene.4.6.0.dylib QtCore.framework QtScript.la libQtCLucene.4.6.dylib QtCore.la QtScriptTools.framework libQtCLucene.4.dylib QtCore_debug.la QtScriptTools.la libQtCLucene.dylib QtDesigner.framework QtScriptTools_debug.la libQtCLucene.la QtDesignerComponents.framework QtScript_debug.la libQtCLucene.prl QtGui.framework QtSql.framework libQtCLucene_debug.4.6.0.dylib QtGui.la QtSql.la libQtCLucene_debug.4.6.dylib QtGui_debug.la QtSql_debug.la libQtCLucene_debug.4.dylib QtHelp.framework QtSvg.framework libQtCLucene_debug.dylib QtHelp.la QtSvg.la libQtCLucene_debug.la QtHelp_debug.la QtSvg_debug.la libQtCLucene_debug.prl QtMultimedia.framework QtTest.framework libQtUiTools.a QtMultimedia.la QtTest.la libQtUiTools.prl QtMultimedia_debug.la QtTest_debug.la libQtUiTools_debug.a QtNetwork.framework QtXml.framework libQtUiTools_debug.prl QtNetwork.la QtXml.la pkgconfig QtNetwork_debug.la QtXmlPatterns.framework those informations are enough ? cheers olivier (In reply to comment #4) > Hi Olivier, > > O.k., and could you still post the directory structure *especially* where the > libraries are located.

Thanks Olivier, that's great! One more thing - under the lib/NAME.framework directories, e.g. lib/QtCore.framework, do you have Headers subdirectories, i.e. lib/QtCore.framework/Headers? That being the case, do those Headers directories contain actual headers, in particular do you have lib/QtCore.framework/Headers/qglobal.h? Cheers, Ben.
HEre all the headers I have : ./Qt3Support.framework/Headers ./Qt3Support.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtAssistant.framework/Headers ./QtAssistant.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtCore.framework/Headers ./QtCore.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtDesigner.framework/Headers ./QtDesigner.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtGui.framework/Headers ./QtGui.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtHelp.framework/Headers ./QtHelp.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtMultimedia.framework/Headers ./QtMultimedia.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtNetwork.framework/Headers ./QtNetwork.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtOpenGL.framework/Headers ./QtOpenGL.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtScript.framework/Headers ./QtScript.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtScriptTools.framework/Headers ./QtScriptTools.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtSql.framework/Headers ./QtSql.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtSvg.framework/Headers ./QtSvg.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtTest.framework/Headers ./QtTest.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtXml.framework/Headers ./QtXml.framework/Versions/4/Headers ./QtXmlPatterns.framework/Headers ./QtXmlPatterns.framework/Versions/4/Headers qglobal.h is not present in lib/QtCore.framework/Headers/ but in ./QtCore.framework/Versions/4/Headers/ folder. cheers Olivier (In reply to comment #6) > Thanks Olivier, that's great!

A fix for this is now in CVS (apologies for not updating earlier). It has been tested on a Qt4 Framework-type installation in /opt/local on Mac. I'm therefore marking this bug as RESOLVED FIXED, but please re-open if problems persist. Cheers, Ben.
