If there is an error running the slic binary using this script, then check your build logs (starting at the top) for error messages.

Configure Script

Simdist uses a configure script generated by Autoconf. This script only accepts a few options, as the slic binary has a standard set of external dependencies, none of which are optional.

The --disable-opengl option can be used to turn off OpenGL visualization support by Geant4. This may be useful if you only need to run slic in a batch computing environment.

No Format

cd SimDist
./configure --disable-opengl

The performance of the Geant4 package can also be improved if its informational messages are turned off.

No Format

./configure --enable-g4verbose=no

The arguments listed under "Fine tuning" and "Optional Packages" are generally not supported. For instance, you cannot disable individual packages, as they are all required. Also, the "influential environment variables" are generally ignored by SimDist, as each package has a different set of compiler arguments.
