[Gate-users] Visual on a MAC

[Nils Krah]

Hi Michael,
I had similar issues. What worked for me was installing QT using conda. (https://anaconda.org) So you would do something like

$ conda install qt

My ccmake configuration then is:

 Qt5Core_DIR                      /Users/nkrah/anaconda2/lib/cmake/Qt5Core
 Qt5Gui_DIR                       /Users/nkrah/anaconda2/lib/cmake/Qt5Gui
 Qt5OpenGL_DIR                    /Users/nkrah/anaconda2/lib/cmake/Qt5OpenGL
 Qt5PrintSupport_DIR              /Users/nkrah/anaconda2/lib/cmake/Qt5PrintSupport
 Qt5Widgets_DIR                   /Users/nkrah/anaconda2/lib/cmake/Qt5Widgets

The same for the Geant4 compilation. On the other hand, using QT installed with brew did not work for me because of some dynamic library issues which I was unable to figure out.

I also installed XQuartz (https://www.xquartz.org) to have X11 on the MacOS system. This appears to be used by Geant4:
 OPENGL_X11_INCLUDE_DIR           /usr/X11R6/include

Let me know. We can also try to fiddle around together. I cannot really recall all the details - it was a bit of trial and error. Maybe other Gate on MacOS users have a technically more sound explanation than mine.

Hope it helps,
Nils
