I am trying to run geant4 simulation for novice 1 example. But I am gettting the error. I am not able to run the program. I have followed the following steps but still I am not getting it.
$ cd
$ mkdir geant4
$ cd geant4
$ cp -r /usr/local/geant4/examples/novice/N01 .
$ ls
$ cd N01
$ ls -l
$ less GNUmakefile
$ make
$ ~/geant4/bin/Linux-g++/exampleN01
After this steps it is showing error like this
GNUmakefile:17: ../../../config/binmake.gmk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `../../../config/binmake.gmk'. Stop.
You have to run cmake in Order to run the example. Geant has an extensive and well maintained documentation, but it's not click and run - so take your time.
$ cd examples/basic/
$ ls
B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 CMakeLists.txt GNUmakefile History README
$ mkdir B1-build
$ cd B1-build/
$ cmake ../B1
[..]
$ make

Hi,
I've seen this error before. It happens for me when i try to make the program within the source folder.
To fix you need to create a separate build folder and cd into that. Then when you're in that folder run your various make commands and point them to the source folder.

Dear Manoj,
I hope by this time you might have solved the problem. if not then,
1. Please note that you need to make seperate folder let's say novice01-build in any place say /home/$USER/novice01-build
then follow this
cd novice1-build/
cmake -DGeant4_DIR=$G4INSTALL /path-to-examples/novice/N01
make
./exampleN01
hope this helps
