Geant4 and CLHEP

What is Geant4?

How do I build Geant4?

First, you need to build CLHEP.

Then download the Geant4 sources from the distribution page.

Here are condensed build instructions once the sources have been obtained.

No Format

tar -zxvf geant4.x.tar.gz
export CLHEP_BASE_DIR=/your/path/to/clhep
cd geant4.x/source
make
make includes
cd ../physics_lists/hadronic
make

Next, try to build an example.

No Format

cd geant4.x/examples/novice/N03
export G4WORKDIR=`pwd`
make all

How do I rebuild just the visualization libraries?

SLIC

What is SLIC?

SLIC stands for "Simulator for the Linear Collider". It is a full simulation package that uses the Geant4 Monte Carlo toolkit to simulate the passage of particles through the detector. SLIC outputs LCIO files that can be analysed using a variety of frameworks and language bindings. SLIC uses a separate backend for the input of detector data called Linear Collider Detector Description (LCDD), which itself is based on the GDML project from CERN.
