Geant4 9.5-beta-01 Release Notes
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
30 June 2011
|
|
|
|
Migration Notes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
o The CMake system for installation has been now extended to cover all
|
|
features. The old Configure script is still kept for this Beta release
|
|
but will be removed in the final release of December.
|
|
A startup guide with basic instructions for installing Geant4 with CMake
|
|
can be found in geant4.9.5.b01/cmake/INSTALL.g4cmake
|
|
You're therefore encouraged to try it out and provide feedback!
|
|
o Geant4 now comes with an embedded CLHEP module (currently based on
|
|
version 2.1.0.1 of CLHEP), which includes a subset of the CLHEP library
|
|
classes relevant for Geant4. It is therefore possible to choose not to
|
|
install CLHEP as external library and use directly the embedded module.
|
|
Use/installation of the embedded CLHEP module is triggered if no
|
|
CLHEP_BASE_DIR variable is being set (or if using the default settings
|
|
through CMake).
|
|
o An additional package, 'expat', required by the new hadronic 'lend'
|
|
module is embedded in 'externals' and is automatically built on Windows.
|
|
On Linux or Mac, the 'expat' library available in the system is used
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Technical Notes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
o Official platforms:
|
|
+ Linux, gcc-4.1.2, gcc-4.3.x.
|
|
Tested on 32 bits architectures and 64 bits architectures
|
|
(Intel or AMD) with the Scientific Linux CERN 5 (SLC5) distribution
|
|
(based on RedHat Linux Enterprise 5).
|
|
Versions of Geant4 have also been compiled successfully on other
|
|
Linux distributions, like Debian, Suse or other RedHat systems.
|
|
+ MacOSX 10.6, gcc-4.2.1
|
|
+ Windows/XP and CygWin Tools with: Visual C++ 9.0 (Visual Studio 2008)
|
|
|
|
o More verified configurations:
|
|
+ Linux, gcc-4.6.1
|
|
+ Linux, Intel-icc 11.1
|
|
|
|
o Geant4 9.5-beta-01 has been tested using CLHEP-2.1.0.1.
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the Geant4 User Documentation:
|
|
http://cern.ch/geant4/support/userdocuments.shtml
|
|
for further information about using Geant4.

|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
List of main features and fixes included in this Beta release since 9.4.p02:
|
|
|
|
o Configuration:
|
|
-------------
|
|
+ CMake:
|
|
o Set default to build shared libraries on all platforms.
|
|
o Added support for Xm Motif and OpenInventor drivers.
|
|
o Updated scripts to export use of internal CLHEP when used.
|
|
Option to use system CLHEP is automatically set to ON if the user
|
|
has supplied a CLHEP_ROOT_DIR argument.
|
|
o Added script UseGeant4.cmake providing a simple CMake module which
|
|
users can include to setup the build of a basic Geant4 application.
|
|
It sets definitions, include directories and compiler flags.
|
|
o Added support for generation of DLL libraries on WIN32 platform.
|
|
o Abilitated built-in dylib symbols on Mac for shared libraries;
|
|
it is now no longer necessary to specify paths in DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
|
|
o Automatically use GDML if user supplies XERCESC_ROOT_DIR argument
|
|
as path to XercesC installation.
|
|
o Providing full setup of environment from build and install trees,
|
|
allowing developers to build applications directly using the build
|
|
tree.
|
|
o Fix for Unix platforms in setting the output directory for libraries.
|
|
Partially addressing problem report #1200.
|
|
o Added universal shell script skeleton for generating backward
|
|
compatible environment variable setup. Addressing problem report #1202.

o Removed unsetting of data library environment variables in generated
|
|
environment scripts.

|
|
when external installation of CLHEP is used.
|
|
+ Added default for CLHEP_BASE_DIR to built-in package in externals.
|
|
Integrated flags in architecture.gmk and binmake.gmk for use of the
|
|
CLHEP built-in package, and adapted setup for build of DLLs on Windows.
|
|
+ Changed common.gmk to take into account sub-directories for headers
|
|
installation.

|
|
constructor in a given physics list.

The obsolete method SetCutValueForOthers() has been removed.
|
|
It is now allowed to set zero cut length in SetCuts commands.
