  • git clone lcgeo.git
  • cd lcgeo
  • git checkout 808752baf726d1d1bedfd4e51caccd9574d7f6bb #HEAD, just for reproducibility
  • mkdir build
  • cd build
  • cmake -DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE=ON ..
  • make && make install
  • cd ..
  • . bin/thislcgeo.sh

This feature has been implemented both in DD4hep and lcgeo. If you want to use it, you need to re-compile DD4hep (from here I suppose : f5f2625f360a6d68209e24c6e8c679ac4df11fca) and then re-compile lcgeo.

What feature is this? Can I turn this off and use lcgeo master with a released DD4hep?

I've tried re-compiling DD4hep, and lcgeo again, but no success:

The feature is that you can specify event parameters by command line that will be written in every output event.

ddsim --compactFile SiD/compact/SiD_o2_v03/SiD_o2_v03.xml \
--runType batch --enableGun --gun.distribution uniform --gun.particle e- \
--gun.energy 15*GeV --gun.thetaMax="1*mrad" --gun.thetaMin="40*mrad" \
--numberOfEvents 1000 --outputFile myElectrons.slcio \
--meta.eventParameters crossSection/f=1e-34

Nevertheless, by following your steps I can compile it and run your example simulation.
Here is the complete command set I used :

source /cvmfs/ilc.desy.de/sw/x86_64_gcc49_sl6/v01-19-05/init_ilcsoft.sh
# Install DD4hep
git clone https://github.com/AIDASoft/DD4hep.git
cd DD4hep
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DDD4HEP_USE_GEANT4=ON -DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE=ON -DDD4HEP_USE_LCIO=ON -DBUILD_TESTING=ON -DGeant4_DIR=$G4INSTALL/lib/Geant4-10.3.3 -DROOT_DIR=$ROOTSYS ..
make install
cd ..
. bin/thisdd4hep.sh
cd ..
# Install lcgeo
git clone https://github.com/iLCSoft/lcgeo.git
cd lcgeo
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -C $ILCSOFT/ILCSoft.cmake
make install
cd ..
. bin/thislcgeo.sh
# Run a simulation
ddsim --compactFile SiD/compact/SiD_o2_v03/SiD_o2_v03.xml \
--runType batch --enableGun --gun.distribution uniform --gun.particle e- \
--gun.energy 15*GeV --gun.thetaMax="1*mrad" --gun.thetaMin="40*mrad" \
--numberOfEvents 1 --outputFile myElectrons.slcio

or you just use the nightly

source /cvmfs/clicdp.cern.ch/iLCSoft/builds/nightly/x86_64-slc6-gcc7-opt/init_ilcsoft.sh

@rete That works. (only you forgot the .. after the lcgeo cmake).
Thank you! I must have used the wrong parameters for the DD4hep cmake.
