Make --> fatal error: Xm/Xm.h

Getting Started

I am currently setting up Geant4 for BDSIM on my Ubuntu system (Windows subsystem). For this the version Geant4.10.4.p03 is suggested and the cmake properties are set as in

The configuring and generating with those properties works just fine, just a few warnings:

Anaconda is installed, which is why the files are sometimes found twice in different folders.
I used the following gcc and cmake versions:
gcc (crosstool-NG 1.24.0.131_87df0e6_dirty) 7.5.0
cmake version 3.16.3

When I run make, after 81% are finished, I get the following error:

[ 81%] Building CXX object source/interfaces/CMakeFiles/G4interfaces.dir/basic/src/G4UIXm.cc.o
/home/fstummer/geant4.10.04.p03/source/interfaces/basic/src/G4UIXm.cc:43:10: fatal error: Xm/Xm.h: No such file or directory

In the Geant4-Installation guide I found that this header needs to be in MOTIF_INCLUDE_DIR, which is set to /usr/include and Xm/Xm.h is actually there. The following lines show how motif and opengl variables are set right now:

GEANT4_USE_XM ON
MOTIF_INCLUDE_DIR /usr/include
MOTIF_LIBRARIES /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXm.so
OPENGL_EGL_INCLUDE_DIR /usr/include

OPENGL_opengl_LIBRARY /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenGL.so

What can I do about this error?

I’ve not tried or seen builds with this setup before, so am not sure I can give a good answer. You can try running make VERBOSE=1 which will output the full command used to compile G4UIXm.cc that should show the exact include paths used. Given that the anaconda compiler is being used, it might be ignoring the system path, though given MOTIF_INCLUDE_DIR is set I’m not sure.

Perhaps also contact the BDSIM developers to see if they have experience with this setup.

Yes, it seems there was something mixed up with the paths because of anaconda3. I removed anaconda3 from the system and the correct libraries were found. This solved the problem for me.

Thank you for helping out!
