—I am new to geant-4, I am unable to desgine a project, that implies to the fact that I find it hard to keep a track of all files that need to be created for the project. How shall I structure my geant-4 project. Are there any resources you can refer to?
The basic examples and in particular B1 show the typical layout of a Geant4 based application, which can be browsed on the GitLab repo here. This is basically constructed as:
- The
main() program in exampleB1.cc
- Headers and implementations for concrete classes under the include and src directories respectively.
- A
CMakeLists.txt file to compile and link everything together.
The first chapter of theApplication Developer Guide roughly walks through this.
This is only a guideline though as ultimately you are free to structure the files as best fits your needs.
For example, if you’re just starting out you could simply implement the main() function and all concrete classes in one single C++ file. There’s no difference as far as functionality of the application goes.
