Yep, I'll leave the geant4-deb package there for the time being, since it is precompiled. However I guess at some point (already perhaps?) it will break and then it should be removed from AUR.

This package replaces the other one called geant4-deb since there is no need for that since I have Eothred 'blessing' to keep the Geant4 project going on Arch. The package is fully functional for my simulations so far with the 'internal' clhep library that comes with the geant4.9.5. Most users will just have the package that works 'out-of-the-box'. If that is not your case just install clhep (also available from the AUR) and modify the geant4 PKGBUILD to be build against it. Just modify the line GEANT4_USE_SYSTEM_CLHEP and eventually you might have to also include CLHEP_ROOT_DIR. In case you need the documentation can be found here: http://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/UserDocumentation/UsersGuides/InstallationGuide/html/ch02s03.html BEWARE that the package downloads ALL the data files by default. Its ~1.5GB are because of it. Consider deactivating GEANT4_INSTALL_DATA if you are ABSOLUTELY sure you do not need them or if you plan to add them yourself on a later stage. Please test it and vote for it if you find it useful. You can also find DAWN and DAVID on the AUR and eventually I can also add AIDAJNI, AIDA, JAIDA, JAS3 or WIRED to the AUR if you ask me ;-) Enjoy.

Ah, excellent. I'll keep myself notified of comments to this package for a while.. Good luck! I took the script from the Debian package I maintained back in the days: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Geant4 I'm not sure it's documented anywhere. Essentially it is just a wrapper script which sets up the Geant4 environment variables. You can either source it or put it before your normal command, e.g. "g4env make" instead of just "make". That said, I think the script is deprecated, as the cmake build system is auto-generating geant4.sh. If you find that geant4.sh is sufficient I wouldn't keep the g4env script anymore...

@Eothred: ok, I think I got it now. I am struggling with converting my applications to the new cmake compilation style but other than that I think I got it now. Feel free to leave this baby on my hands. I will provably take over this whole simulation business for arch. Dawn, dawncut, david and so on... any suggestions? you seem to [have] work[ed] on this topics. Cheers.

I just adopted clhep and I am interested in putting my two cents for arch. I already managed to install this new version of geant4 on my own so I think I can take it from now. HOWEVER, A little help regarding the usage of the g4env script will come handy specially for application developers. I cannot compile my programs and they are not -yet- migrated to the new cmake so I need to know how to use the backwards compatibility :P. If you don't mind explaining a bit. I do not mind adopting :D Cheers.

I'm not using Arch at the moment. Could anyone volunteer to take over this package?

@Eothred: Perhaps something here can be useful to you? http://hypernews.slac.stanford.edu/HyperNews/geant4/get/installconfig/1394.html?inline=-1

Ah, sorry, you said you had it installed. Then I will investigate further. Thanks for reporting.
