That's not to be defined in the PKGBUILD, so the maintainer is correct in doing it this way. makepkg can be configured for parallel builds, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/makepkg#Improving_compile_times

I found that you enabled GEANT4_BUILD_MULTITHREADED=ON but make do not have the -j parameter. Can you enable it as the compilation is very slow?

@f3fora: my bad... my emacs-pkgbuild-mode made a number on me. Now it's fixed.

Hello again,

I guess you are compiling it "normally" and not inside a 'chroot' (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot).

As soon as I try to compile it I run into a dependency black hole similar to what I reported before.

At to moment I do not have the time to keep looking into this issue, in particular for this driver that you report is not functional yet.

I will keep this in the back of my head and give it a go every once in a while.

Cheers,

With this PKGBUILD I manage to compile it: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=geant4-debug. The error you get is because VTK needs the Java headers. Let me know whether the driver is then actually usable for you, it wasn't for me.

Another feature I would really like to use is HDF5 support for object persistency. The problem is that multithreaded G4 requires the HDF5 C library to be compiled in thread-safe mode, and this is not the case with the Arch package (there are compatibility issues with other Arch packages, as far as I understand).

A workaround would be to compile a private version of the HDF5 library, but it would require quite a bit of PKGBUILD development, I guess.

Good luck!

Dear @gipert,

how did you manage to get the Vtk support working? As soon as I added -DGEANT4_USE_VTK=ON I ended up needing a ton of extra dependencies only to get it to fail at the end.

This are the dependencies: 

         'vtk'
         'openmpi'
         'python-mpi4py'
         'ospray'
         'openvr'
         'postgresql-libs'
         'pdal'
         'libogg'
         'libtheora'
         'liblas'
         'libharu'
         'adios2'
         'ffmpeg'
         'gl2ps'
         'cgns'
         'qt5-quickcontrols'
         'glew'
         'eigen'
         'fmt'
         'utf8cpp'

and in the end it failed anyway

CMake Error in source/CMakeLists.txt:
  Imported target "VTK::Java" includes non-existent path

Forget about my last comment. I tested the new driver a bit and found it quite unstable, at least on Arch. We should maybe reconsider it once the feature is more mature.

gipert commented on 2022-01-13 15:57 (UTC)

Hello @donpicoro, thanks a lot for keeping the package up to date. What about supporting the VTK visualization driver?
