Hello,
I am attempting to install g4py in order to interface with Geant4 via python (preferable python3). However after following all instructions I could find I am still unable to install it.
I am using a machine with Ubuntu 18.04 in WSL.
After downloading the source I install with the following compilation flags:
cmake .. -DGEANT4_BUILD_MULTITHREADED=ON \
-DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON -DGEANT4_USE_XM=ON -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=ON \
-DGEANT4_USE_RAYTRACER_X11=ON -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON -DGEANT4_USE_GDML=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/opt/geant4-install-g4py
After the install is successful I begin to install g4py. I go to environments/g4py and follow the instructions in https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/tree/geant4-10.5-release/environments/g4py.
After defining GEANT4_INSTALL=$HOME/opt/geant4-install-g4py and running cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$GEANT4_INSTALL everything seems to be working correctly until the very end where I get an error
This is the output of the cmake command:

(for some reason the % at it fails is different)
I could not find a way to configure the installation via cmake variables but in older versions I found this could be done via the configure script, I assume in the newer versions this is not necessary?
I look forward to hearing any advice, thanks!
