You need to type git pull in the directory to which you git cloned the Garfield++ repository. In your case that’s /home/ahmer/Desktop/garfield-v2 not /home/ahmer/Desktop/garfield (I don’t know why you did it like that).
yes yes sorry i was confused yesterday.
i was trying to tell qurat-ul-ain zahoor which also asking for the garfield installation gudance. i was trying to tell in our own lamguage little bit. and tar file of garfield we have to un tar it after that we have to do this process. am i right?
Your clone of the Garfield++ repository is in /home/ahmer/Desktop/garfield-v2. So:
cd /home/ahmer/Desktop/garfield-v2
git pull
You do not need any tar file to install Garfield++!
but i used and untar it in the /home/ahmer/Desktop/garfield. is there any issue?
yes i did it…
now again in the /home/ahmer/Desktop/garfield
mkdir build
cd build
source thisroot.sh
cmake
make
like this?
As I said in my first reply, the file garfield-v2.tar.gz has nothing to do with Garfield++ and is of no use for building or running Garfield++.
ok dear i understand. now i have to make build directory in garfield-v2 and cmake, make and make install in this?
Dear i have mkdir in the garfield-v2. and cmake, make, and make install. all this and i’m here now. is it ok?
installation complete? anything else to do?
Looks good!

i want to ask one more thing my head asked me to do cmake with full examples and docs on but the program was giving errors and i have done it with just cmake $GARFIELD_HOME. can you see what the issue or can i resolve it?
solution that i told you better understanding do not use the tar file etc. just make a directory and git clone command and when its done follow the procedure as hschindl told us. and you can see mine questions and issues as i discussed with hschindl.
Building the examples is switched on by default, so just typing
cmake $GARFIELD_HOME
as you did is fine.
PS: the square brackets in cmake [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=...] and so on indicate optional arguments. So you would have to remove the square brackets ([]) when you type the command.
ok ok thanks a lot hschindl. i’m really very sorry that i have very much disturb you. thanks a lot. and what you think as i typed the command line which represents the paths about the geant4.sh. is it interface with the geant4 or not?
i have tried to run the geant4garfieldinterface example and its giving errors during the cmake can i get some help?
Hello @ahmer_k,
It seems that the Garfield header directory is not part of the compiler search path. Please, check the CMake configuration log (the output of the cmake command) to see any relevant error/warning messages, e.g. Cannot find Garfield package or so.
Cheers,
J.
Is it possible that you forgot to source the setup.sh script in the Garfield++ build folder?
Can you type echo $CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and see if it includes the Garfield++ install directory?
ok dear thanks for your time. i’ll check.
