Example B1 doesn't work

Getting Started
1

Hello everyone,

I am trying to install Geant4 10.05.p01 on windows 10.
I used the command:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%HOMEPATH%\Geant4\geant4_10_05_p01-install -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_WIN32=ON %HOMEPATH%\Geant4\geant4_10_05_p01\

to install Geant4.
It didn’t show any error during installation.
However, when I tried with example B1, after runningcmake -DGeant4_DIR=%HOMEPATH%\geant4_10_05_p01-install\lib\Geant4-10.5.1 %HOMEPATH%\Geant4\B1

I get the following message:
CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
Policy CMP0020 is not set: Automatically link Qt executables to qtmain
target on Windows. Run “cmake --help-policy CMP0020” for policy details.
Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

– Generating done
– Build files have been written to: C:/Users/HienDoan/Geant4/B1-build

And this is the outcome when I ran example B1 (.\Release\exampleB1.exe):
C:\Users\HienDoan\Geant4\B1-build>.\Release\exampleB1.exe
Available UI session types: [ Qt, Win32, GAG, csh ]

C:\Users\HienDoan\Geant4\B1-build>

As you can see it showed the UI session and then stopped.

Do you know what wrong I am doing?

I set the PATH of Qt is: C:\Qt\4.8.7\bin

Best regards,
Hien.

Does anyone have the same problem?
Is it the right place to ask this question or should I go to another place?

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

My impression from my failed attempt with Windows, and from another previous post, is that Geant4 is not installable with Windows Visual Studio 2019, only with VS 2017.

You may be able to build the example file, but not run it due to certain files that did not install properly.

I am running mine on a Linux based system now.

Best of luck
