Hi,
I was trying to install the allpix squared on my laptop and was following the manual for that. I installed all the pre-requisite libraries which include root and Geant4 and they both work fine as I ran a few examples. However, when I tried to configure via cmake in a separate directory ‘build’, I wasn’t able to get CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and many of the by-default files mentioned in the manual. However, I have attached a picture of the files that I got in the build directory. Further when I tried to compile by typing make -j2, I got the following error:No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Best regards,
Shudhashil
Dear Shudhashil,
I don’t quite understand what you mean with “wasn’t able to get CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and many of the by-default files”. In your posed information I am missing the most crucial part: what is the output you get on the terminal when running
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
? If something goes wrong there or is missing you will not get make files.

Hi Simon,
So I have attached a screenshot of the output I got on the terminal after running: ```
cd build
cmake …
Regarding the default files like CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX that is mentioned in the manual, I didn’t get any of those files either after running cmake … in the build directory
Best,
Shudhashil
Hi Shudhashil,
please copy the text rather than making screenshots - this would allow to search through it.
The problem you are facing is that CMake cannot find all files it requires from your ROOT installation. Are you sure you have a recent ROOT6 version installed and sourced before running CMake?
In any case, the cmake run you posted was not executed in an empty build/ directory, could you please remove all files from that directory, make source to source ROOT6 and Geant4 and then run cmake .. again?
If you then still have problems, please paste the full text here.
You don’t get the makefiles because CMake errors and does not write these files. CMake needs to pass without error.
Cheers,
Simon
Hi Simon,
Yes I have the recent root 6.14 version installed before hand and have been doing a few data analysis on it. So as you suggested I deleted the contents in the build directory and made source to source ROOT6 and Geant4 and then ran cmake …
Here’s what it is showing:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ source ~/Desktop/MyPrograms/Geant4/bin/geant4.sh
$ source ~/Desktop/MyPrograms/mybuild/bin/thisroot.sh
$ cmake ..

Hi Shudhashil
according to your CMake output, something is still wrong with your ROOT installation:
It tries to take /home/bharthua/Desktop/MyPrograms/mybuild/ROOTUseFile.cmake to find /home/local/bharthua/Documents/MyPrograms/root-6.14.02/cmake/modules/RootNewMacros.cmake - which are two different locations.
Please make sure to correctly install ROOT6, because this seems to be the issue here. Make e.g. sure to call make && make install when compiling ROOT, and to source the program from the resulting installed location, not from your ROOT build folder.
Best regards,
Simon
