<<<How to install Geant4Py in Mac OSX>>>
|
|
H. Yoshida and K. Murakami
|
|
16 November 2006 for Geant4-8.2 release
|
|
|
|
Geant4Py package can be installed in Linux or Mac OS X systems. Documentation
|
|
on the installation and the latest version is available at
|
|
www-geant4.kek.jp/projects/Geant4Py.
|
|
|
|
This text is a supplementary document dedicated to Mac OS X. The following
|
|
installation procedure was tested on a MacBook; Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8L2127), and
|
|
Darwin-8.8.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
0) General remarks
|
|
|
|
You have to install ALL packages from the system DVD, including supplementary
|
|
packages and Xcode packages. Then, OpenGL must work.
|
|
|
|
a. Compilation of Geant4 libraries;
|
|
*.dylib must be created and all header files must be assembled. So
|
|
%make global; make includes
|
|
b. Linker;
|
|
If ld (linker) complains "Undefined symbols", try
|
|
%setenv MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 10.4
|
|
c. Path of the Dynamic Libraries ;
|
|
If you have used Configure script to make the Geant4 libraries, the paths
|
|
to the dylibs are set automatically. The environment variables can be
|
|
checked in $G4INSTALL/.config/bin/Darwin-g++/env.csh.
|
|
d. X window;
|
|
For visialization with OpenGL, you have to start Xserver and
|
|
%setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
|
|
1) Installation of Python 2.4.3
|
|
|
|
The latest Mac products (as of October 2006) include Python 2.3 by
|
|
default. This is not bad for the basic installation of Geant4Py, but some
|
|
examples here require Python 2.4 which provides advanced OS related
|
|
functionalities. So, we recommend you to install Python 2.4.3. (Python 2.5 is
|
|
already published but we don't tested it with respect to boost_python
|
|
wrappers.)
|
|
|
|
Visit the Python language Web site; http://www.python.org/download/mac/ and
|
|
follow the instructions. Universal-MacPython-2.4.3-*.dmg is available
|
|
there. Or the site http://pythonmac.org/packages/ provides also *.dmg package,
|
|
too.
|
|
|
|
2) Installation of Boost-Python
|
|
|
|
Visit the site http://boost.org/ and download boost-1_33_1, the latest
|
|
version. Then, run the configure script and then make libboost_python.dylib.
|
|
Please make install it to the default prefix directory, i.e., /usr/local, for
|
|
simplcity.
|
|
|
|
3) Compilation of Geant4Py
|
|
|
|
If you have installed Python-2.4 and Boost-1_33_1 as above, you can configure
|
|
Geant4Py as below;
|
|
|
|
./configure macosx --with-python-incdir=/usr/local/include/python2.4\
|
|
--with-python-libdir=/usr/local/lib/python2.4\
|
|
--with-boost-incdir=/usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1\
|
|
--with-boost-libdir=/usr/local/lib\
|
|
--with-boost-python-lib=boost_python-1_33_1
|
|
|
|
And then, %make; make install. The libraries will be installed in
|
|
$G4INSTALL/environments/g4py/lib whose path must be added to PYTHONPATH.
|
|
|
|
If you want to enjoy examples/education, wxPython package is necessary.
|
|
|
|
4) Installation of wxPython
|
|
|
|
Download the latest version of wxPython from http://www.wxpython.org/ and
|
|
create the library. The next instructions are taken from the above Web page.
|
|
|
|
%cd $WXDIR
|
|
%mkdir bld
|
|
%cd bld
|
|
%../configure --prefix=/opt/wx/2.7 \
|
|
--with-mac\
|
|
--with-opengl \
|
|
--enable-debug \
|
|
--enable-geometry \
|
|
--enable-graphics_ctx \
|
|
--enable-sound --with-sdl \
|
|
--enable-mediactrl \
|
|
--enable-display \
|
|
--disable-debugreport
|
|
|
|
And then make; make install.
|
|
You have to setenv/export PYTHONPATH, adding /opt/wx/2.7
|
|
|
|
5) Run
|
|
|
|
g4py/examples/education/lesson1/Lesson1Wx.py and lesson2/Lesson2Wx.py are
|
|
exaples, using wxPython GUI toolkits. Run them,
|
|
%python Lesson1Wx.py
|
|
|
