|
|
|
|
- Desktop development with C++

### Windows SSH Clients
|
|
was necessarily to compile Geant4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use the ssh connection to VM you need to install an ssh client capable of X11 forwarding like [PuTTY](http://www.putty.org) or to use Windows 10 ssh.
|
|
### CMake for Windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We use ssh from the Windows Git installation.
|
|
The Visual Studio come with cmake program but without CMake GUI.
|
|
|
|
We use this cmake for compilation and installing Geant4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`ssh -X -p 2222 vagrant@localhost`
|
|
You can download and install latest version directly from
|
|
|
|
https://cmake.org/download/ or use package installers like
|
|
|
|
[Scoop](https://scoop.sh) or
|
|
|
|
[Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can define the ssh session to localhost port 2222 in **MobaXterm**.

select "Git from command line and also from 3rd-party software".
|
|
