Geant4 compling error of a repository

Getting Started
1

Dear Users,

I want to talk about a compiling error. i am just beginner level user. I installed the Gean410.06 version issueless and i could compile the basic examples and i saw a repository of a LaBr3 in github via giglio(https://github.com/giglio0/DRAGON-G4-LaBr3.git) also giglio shared how to compline it with the code but i cannot compine it. The output;

make -DGEANT4_DIR=/home/cancan/Gatev9/geant4_10_06-install/lib/Geant4-10.6.3 /home/cancan/Gatev9/example_Geant4/LaBr/LaBr3
CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:3 (cmake_minimum_required):

Update the VERSION argument value or use a … suffix to tell
CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

Can anybody help me?

The command line is case sensitive so GEANT4_DIR is not the same as Geant4_DIR. That should get rid of the cmake warning.

For the missing include (TH1D.h), that is a ROOT file. Looking at the cmake config file of the repo it checks if you have ROOT installed. I don’t see that message in your output so I guess you do?

I don’t use ROOT so someone else will have to comment on how to make sure it’s include directories are add to the appropriate paths.

It’s probably best to contact the developers of https://github.com/giglio0/DRAGON-G4-LaBr3.git as this is related to their CMake scripts.

you are right about [Geant4_DIR] and i fixed it but isn’t about my error. after i checked the CmakeFile.txt of the repo and i saw this directory list of sources,

list(APPEND sources
{PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/DetectorConstruction.cc {PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/DetectorMessenger.cc
{PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/EventAction.cc {PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/PhysicsList.cc
{PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/PrimaryGeneratorAction.cc {PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/RunAction.cc
{PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/SteppingAction.cc {PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/TrackingAction.cc)

this list has not included the HistoManager.cc. i thought that maybe i added the [${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/HistoManager.cc], it could be fix. but it doesn’t work as well.

you are also right and i wrote the developers of this repo. but this repo was loaded 3 years ago and the developer hasn’t been active anymore github. accually have no hope the developer answer my question.

I’ve replied on the post of the ROOT forum as I think this is related to changes in ROOT’s cmake config file:
