#-----------------------------------------

Hi so I upgraded my laptop to macOS Sequoia 15.1 the other day. I downloaded both the binaries and source codes from the download part of the website

I made a folder “Geant4” where I unpacked the .tar source file geant4-v11.2.2
I put the binary release here too which I unpacked [the Darwin-clang15.0.0-Sonoma.tar], which was named Geant4-11.2.2-Darwin
I made the geant4-v11.2.2-build folder as specified on: Building and Installing from Source — Geant4 Installation Guide 11.2 documentation
I was confused by the step - e.g. “cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/geant4-v11.2.0-install /path/to/geant4-v11.2.0”, as there is no geant4-v11.2.0-install folder anywhere
I didn’t know what to do so I renamed the Geant4-11.2.2-Darwin folder, geant4-v11.2.2-install as I looked at the file structure of the share/data and it followed the same structure so I assumed this is what was meant
I put the data files from online into the share/Geant4-11.2.2/data folder in the geant4-v11.2.2-install directory
I ran:

$ cd /path/to/geant4-v11.2.2-build
$ cmake -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/geant4-v11.2.2-install  /Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2

I do not know which (gcc / g++) settings I should use gcc14 (with home-brew) or clang - I had set it to gcc-14 and g+±14 arbitrarily in my ~/.zshrc:

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin/g++-14:$PATH"
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin/gcc-14:$PATH"
export CC=gcc-14
export CXX=g++-14

there I also put for the data files:

export G4LEDATA=/Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-install/share/Geant4/data/G4EMLOW8.5
export G4LEVELGAMMADATA=/Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-install/share/Geant4/data/PhotonEvaporation5.7
export G4PARTICLEXSDATA=/Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-install/share/Geant4/data/G4PARTICLEXS4.0

export G4RADIOACTIVEDATA=/Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-install/share/Geant4/data/RadioactiveDecay5.6
export G4NEUTRONHPDATA=/Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-install/share/Geant4/data/G4NDL4.7.1
export G4PARTICLEHPDATA=/Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-install/share/Geant4/data/G4TENDL1.4
export G4NEUTRONHPDATA=/Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-install/share/Geant4/data/G4NDL4.7.1

and the

source /Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-install/share/Geant4/geant4make/geant4make.sh
source /Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-install/bin/geant4.sh

I then (in the build directory) did (following Geant4 installation problem)

make -j 10
make install

Then when I go into /Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2/examples/extended/runAndEvent/RE02/build
and do:

cmake -S .. -B .

I had the error with number 12912/23 with the “Imported target “Geant4::G4Tree” includes non-existent path” which was occurring
So I deleted the file as you said: in the folder /Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-install/lib/cmake/Geant4/Geant4PackageCache.cmake
To note: I have QT5 for the visualisation stuff referenced in the ~/.zshrc

export QTDIR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.16

I don’t know how to fix all these things and would appreciate any help / a checklist of instructions that are a bit clearer than the webpage especially as I am aware the M1 arm64 architecture has some quirks when installing Geant4. I also know this is not unique to Geant4 as I have the same installation issues with EGSnrc too (hence why I avoided clang and went to gcc-14/g+±14)

bmorgan · November 24, 2024, 6:01pm

There’s no need to download both the binaries and source code package - pick one, and I’d suggest the source code given this is the latest macOS. My suspicion is that as you’ve downloaded both the binary and source packages, and appears you haven’t built or installed Geant4, it’s picking up the binary. I’d suggest the following:

Delete the /Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2 directory, and redownload/unpack the 11.2.2 source code tarball here.
Remove GCC from the path and unset the CC and CXX variables from the environment. The system clang will be absolutely fine. You also don’t need to set the env vars for the datasets anymore, so unset these as well.
Build and install Geant4 from source following the instructions in the Installation Guide. Do not worry that these say “11.2.0”, this is purely because these only track the minor, not patch version. Everywhere these say “11.2.0”, you can replace with “11.2.2”.
If you’ve built and installed with that cmake -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON option, then the env vars are not needed: see the relevant section here.

You can then try rebuilding the example, but I’d strongly suggest copying from the install/source location to a separate directory.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the message, I did the above, then in the example within the v11.2.2 folder I did:

I used to have Geant4 version 11.0.2 installed and used 12.3.sdk from the /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/ folder, I had removed the folders (similar ones to the ones I’ve made for this version) and did:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Geant4
There’s now nothing set within my ~/.zshrc file

If I do:

bmorgan · November 25, 2024, 11:07am

I’m a bit confused as to why it’s still finding the old SDK. Have you reinstalled/upgraded the Homebrew packages as well?

The only obvious thing I can see is that the Homebrew expat library is being used/picked up, and generally that shouldn’t be needed on macOS (Xcode provides this).

guest_edward.taylor · November 25, 2024, 11:28am

Yes I think that may have been an issue too, I have had to comment out the lines:

#export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/expat/bin:$PATH"
#export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/expat/lib"
#export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/expat/include"
#export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/expat/lib/pkgconfig"

in my ~/.zshrc

I now try to run the examples RE02 or RE01 and it can do the cmake -S … -B . and make -j 10 commands,
then when running it does:


=========================================================================
--> G4TaskRunManager::CreateAndStartWorkers() --> Initializing workers...

If I put a batch script / .mac after it seems to be ok for the example files

For my old scripts that used to run on 11.0.2 it does this:

The compile errors are due to changes in the inheritance of G4VTouchable. The Release Notes for 11.2 state in Section 3 (Migrations) under Geometry, Fields and Transportation:

The inheritance level for G4TouchableHistory has been removed, simplifying touchables handling. G4VTouchable is now a simple typedef of G4TouchableHistory, therefore forward declarations of G4VTouchable in the code will have to be promoted to concrete inclusion of the related header file.

So it should be sufficient to remove the forward declaration and add a #include "G4VTouchable.hh".

Thanks Ben, I did this, I also realised that I hadn’t installed any of the visualisation stuff:

I went to /Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-build folder and did

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-install /Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2 -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=ON

make -j 10

which resulted in:

is this a problem with qt5? - I remember there was an issue about this - I assume I have to do: Errors while building geant4 with qt5 - #6 by bmorgan

IIRC, these type of messages are a symptom of having the Homebrew formulae for qt (which is Qt6) and qt@5 installed. The former is linked by default into the main /opt/homebrew “view” and usually appears before other paths etc in compile/link commands.

If you do have the qt formulae installed, then you can either brew unlink it, or better, reconfigure as you did, but force use of Qt6:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2-install /Users/edwardt/Documents/Geant4/geant4-v11.2.2 -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON -DGEANT4_USE_QT_QT6=ON

It’s also best if you set GEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11 to OFF as this may not work well together with Qt6. Whilst Qt6 support in 11.2.2 is “experimental” it works well for most applications and use cases, and will cause less problems in build setups on macOS with Homebrew.

Thank for your very useful and timely advice and tips. All is working well with these steps for qt6, and is greatly appreciated. Have a good week!
