|
|
|
|
d) geometrical structure
|
|
- volume, assembly, placements (single, so far)

|
|
Still an issue. The Saxana engine will be rewritten with generative version of XML Engine.
|
|
Work on it is in progress.
|
|
|
|
4. When linking for Linux-g++ G4SYSTEM on RH 7.2.1 against Xerces-C libraries build on RH 6.1.1 with
|
|
compiler GCC 2.95.2 the linker warning can be so far ignored as the resulting binary can run.
|
|
We will look at this issue. Looks like G4SYSTEM needs to be again extended for Linux systems.
