Description Dan Weatherill 2019-01-12 02:03:54 CET 
When using the pre-compiled Geant4 installation for mac OSX (as found at https://geant4.web.cern.ch/support/download), and configuring a project using, e.g.

cmake .. -DGeant4_DIR=/Users/user/Geant4-10.5.0-Darwin/lib/Geant4-10.5.0 

the UseGeant4.cmake file is found correctly, but files cannot build due to missing include directories. In Geant4Config.cmake of the distributed package (specifically line 216), Geant4_INCLUDE_DIR is hardcoded to:

"/Users/gcosmo/Software/release/install/include/Geant4"

I realise this is the default that will be generated using a standard cmake package generation, but for a redistributatble package, either this should be calculated (the Geant4_LIBRARIES appear to be able to calculate the paths properly), or at least a warning message indicating the user must set this manually to be successful.

Thanks very much,
Dan W

Will have a look

This will be fixed for the upcoming 10.6 release (December)
Comment 3 Ben Morgan 2020-02-07 16:07:49 CET 
Now fixed in the 10.6 release, where the requirement for absolute paths was removed. However, we're not patching 10.5 in the near future, and it's unlikely we can backport the change cleanly.

I'm therefore closing as RESOLVED FIXED with that caveat.
