Please fill out the following information to help in answering your question, and also see tips for posting code snippets. If you don’t provide this information it will take more time to help with your problem! Geant4 Version: geant4-v11.2.1
_Operating System:_macpro. Ventura. 13.6.5 Compiler/Version: gcc version 14.0.3
_CMake Version:_cmake version 3.23.2
After recompiling and the correction from Ruixuan, I got example B1 to run however I have tried B2 but no luck.
I compiled B2 after copying to a new directory but. from the build ./exampleB2a doesn’t work.
Surprised to see my name here … I think maybe you did not compile B2a or B2b correctly.
Although you can compile example B2a and B2b at one time, I suggest you compile them seperately.
For example, if you want to compile and run B2a (suppose the directory of your B2 example is B2):
cd B2/B2a
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${where you install Geant4} ..
make -j8
If compiled sucessfully, you can see exampleB2a under your current directory (i.e. B2/B2a/build). You can use
./exampleB2a
to run B2a interactively.
In addtion, it seems that you have activated conda environment. From my own experience, it is better to deactivate conda when using Geant4. Activation of conda is irrelavent to your current problem, but it may influence your running of Geant4 some time in the future.
I tried the suggestions but got error:
MacBook-Pro:B2 $ cd B2a/
MacBook-Pro:B2a $ mkdir build
MacBook-Pro:B2a $ cd build
MacBook-Pro:build $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/geant4-v11.2.1/Install
CMake Warning:
No source or binary directory provided. Both will be assumed to be the
same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
become a fatal error in future CMake releases.
CMake Error: The source directory “/Users/geant4-v11.2.1/work/B2/B2a/build” does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
Then. I did a sym-link but more errors
CMake Error: File /Users/geant4-v11.2.1/work/B2/B2a/build/exampleB2a.out does not exist.
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:55 (configure_file):

– Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
Then I just ran it without the build directory in B2a but got another set of errors with make -j8
