Cmake configuration fails with v10.6.0 and Fedora 31

Getting Started
1

I’m trying to install the latest version, v10.6.0 on a fully updated Fedora 31, but the cmake step fails to create any build files.

I use this cmake command

cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/share/geant4/10.6.0/install/debug -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATADIR=/usr/local/share/geant4/data -DGEANT4_BUILD_MULTITHREADED=ON -DGEANT4_BUILD_CXXSTD=17 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON -DGEANT4_USE_GDML=ON -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=ON -DGEANT4_USE_RAYTRACER_X11=ON /usr/local/share/geant4/geant4

and get the following output

The cmake version is 3.14.5

$ cmake --version
cmake version 3.14.5

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).

Anyone got any ideas, is this related to something in the latest version? I’ve built previous version with the same options (apart from c++17).

This is likely due to 10.6 moving to use of CMake imported targets exclusively, plus I’d guess that your system doesn’t have libGLU installed? Geant4’s setup to prefer the legacy GL/GLU at present, and I’m not familiar enough with Fedora to know how it packages uses GLVND vs Mesa.

It looks like we’ll need to add a check on the presence of the needed OpenGL::GLU target. However, if you can check for and install libGLU on your system, it should resolve the missing target error.

Your command (with some slight modifications such as changing paths and removing GDML support) works fine for me. The package you need to install is mesa-libGLU-devel, I think.

Thanks both!

I had the mesa-libGLU package installed but not the “devel” version. Things are now configured, built and installed.
