Step-by-Step Installation Guides
You can find below some useful pages collecting instructions on how to
install Geant4 in a detailed step-by-step tutorial:
Step by step Installation Guides.
Building on MS Visual C++
Geant4 can be compiled with the C++ compiler of MS Visual Studio
C++ and the
Cygwin toolset.
Detailed instructions are given in the Installation
manual. As the build system relies on make and other
Unix tools using only the compiler of MS Visual Studio, the section on
Makefile and environment variables
applies also for building with MS Visual C++.
We do not support compilation directly under MS Visual Studio,
i.e. we do not provide workspace files (.dsw) or project
files (.dsp).
However the executables created are debuggable using the
debugger of MS Visual Studio. You may have to help the debugger
finding the path to source files the first time you debug a given
executable.
Listed below are some useful pages with instructions on how to start with the
installation of CygWin, and also tips for creating a project under Visual
Studio:
