Hi, When building Geant4 10.2.2 with external CLHEP and XercesC the resulting geant4.sh does only contain the inclusion CLHEP to third-party binary and library paths but not XercesC. It a bit confusing since the Geant4Config.cmake lists: set(Geant4_THIRD_PARTY_INCLUDE_DIRS /cvmfs/clicdp.cern.ch/software/Xerces-C/3.1.3/x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt/include) and set(CLHEP_ROOT_DIR "/cvmfs/clicdp.cern.ch/software/CLHEP/2.3.1.1/x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt") but the geant4.sh only 54 #----------------------------------------------------------------------- 55 # Setup Third-party binary and library paths... 56 # - CLHEP 57 58 if test "x$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" = "x" ; then 59 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/cvmfs/clicdp.cern.ch/software/CLHEP/2.3.1.1/x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt/lib 60 else 61 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/cvmfs/clicdp.cern.ch/software/CLHEP/2.3.1.1/x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} 62 fi Wouldn't it make sense to include XercesC also at this point? Cheers, Marko
We'll take a look at this. You can also use RPATHing of the build/install executable to avoid having to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. In CMake, this is very easy to do: https://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_RPATH_handling https://blog.kitware.com/upcoming-in-cmake-2-8-12-osx-rpath-support/ https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/search.html?q=RPATH&check_keywords=yes&area=default Other build tools have similar facilities, and at worst it's just a case of setting the appropriate flags to the linker.
Hi, thank you for looking into this. I don't mean this is really an serious error, but it would be good to have consistent behavior for all external packages. Either geant4.sh initializes all the dependent software or none. Cheers, Marko
Fixed in the 10.3 release
