Try to remove this line: -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON \ If you don't have Qt installed then you should probably exclude that one. That said, I should add it to list of dependencies. Thanks for the warning.

I found the following error and I really can't figure out why. Any clues? (qt 4.7.4-3 installed) CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:91 (MESSAGE): Could NOT find Qt4 (missing: QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE QT_RCC_EXECUTABLE QT_INCLUDE_DIR QT_LIBRARY_DIR QT_QTCORE_INCLUDE_DIR QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY QT_QTGUI_INCLUDE_DIR QT_QTGUI_LIBRARY QT_QTOPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR QT_QTOPENGL_LIBRARY QT_UIC_EXECUTABLE) Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:252 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:1163 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS) cmake/Modules/Geant4InterfaceOptions.cmake:76 (find_package) CMakeLists.txt:84 (include)

New release. Be warned, this package currently includes the data files which are 1.6 GB of ascii data installed to /usr/share/! If you don't want that remove the line "-DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON \" I'm thinking that one should instead do a split-build but I don't have time just now. Patches to make this build better are welcome!

I managed to solve the lG3toG4 error disabling G3 support in the PKGBUILD and recompiling. That should be ok as I'll never will have to face something written in fortran.. I've also been able to compile the first example using make instead of the recommended gmake, many people recommend to symlink gmake to make. Thank you for maintaining this package!

I've installed the package and try to learn this enviornment. Compilations and all was fine, I also appreciated a lot the environment setting scripts. But when I tried to compile the first novice example using the make command, I got the error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lG3toG4 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status and I'm not able to fix it. I'm also confused about the gmake command which is not present in my installation and it's reported in the official G4 guide..

As said so done. I tried to write a g4env wrapper script to invoke the geant4 environment, but I don't think it works 100% yet. Still, since the PKGBUILD didn't work yet in any case (debian files were out of date), I decided to update immediately. Please also see the package "geant4-deb" if you don't want to go through the process of compiling for a couple of hours and still ending up with a beta version of geant4.. This package will not use beta versions forever, but since I decided to use cmake for configuring, I went with it for now since it is supposed to be fully implemented in 4.9.5. People are more than welcome to complain, and propose alternative PKGBUILD which uses the old configuration system and version 4.9.4.

good news, I have the 64bit packages of the latest geant4 ready. further, I have a new PKGBUILD which builds the 9.4.5 beta using cmake (the old config scripts are deprecated when the new release is out). When I have everything in order, I will upload the PKGBUILD for the new beta version with the name "geant4", and then this package will be renamed "geant4-deb". I think that is the best solution. That means that your votes might be out of order, but that is a minor issue I find. You can already find the new scripts here if you are curious: https://gitorious.org/eothred/aur/trees/master/geant4 https://gitorious.org/eothred/aur/trees/master/geant4-deb When the new Debian files are available I will update everything.

heh, it takes four days from me finally managing to get the package updated and then there is a new release (9.4, 25. of February). and now they already released the first patch as well. I'll update when I'll update, currently I have little spare time on my hands. sorry about that, hope this version is decent enough for most of you.
