How to modify a geometry using messengers in interactive mode

Sorry again, Gerard. Are you not familiar with zip (gzip) or tar?

For anyone following this thread, to send an app to us for diagnosing, it’s much easier if you can collect and test an app in a working directory, then zip or gzip or tar the directory into one file. I’m not so familiar with (g)zip, but I see you’re on Ubuntu, Gerard, so you must have access to the Unix “tape archive” application, tar. man tar to see the manual. To make a compressed tar file, change to the directory one above the app directory. Then

tar czf myApp.tgz myApp

where myAapp is the name of the directory (whatever), and attach myApp.tgz. On my side, all I have to do is download one file, myApp.tgz, and “untar” it.

Geant4 developers are very willing to help, but we do need users to do some work to make it simpler for us. I appreciate your willingness, Gerard, to make a simple app for us to diagnose.

(This assumes the G4 Forum will accept tgz files. I haven’t tried. If it doesn’t, please email it to john.allison@cern.ch, with the file as an attachment.)

We’re getting there.

Note: the files should include your CMakeLists.txt file too.
