Build old ROOT v5

Hi,

I need to build an old version of ROOT (5.34.10) but I receive the following:

user@User-PC:~/ROOT_OLD$ cmake --build . – -j4
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Previously the terminal output is:

Can someone please help me? Thank you!

Use the “./configure” + “make” based method.

Thank you, that worked almost. At first for maybe other persons: Installing CERN ROOT (2017) – Nick's Reasearch Page (there is described how to do that via configure/make).

Unfortunately the making terminated as follows:

In file included from cint/cint/src/dict/libstrm.h:37:0,
from cint/cint/src/dict/libstrm.cxx:14:
cint/cint/lib/stream/iostrm.h:24:22: fatal error: iostream.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Makefile:597: recipe for target ‘cint/cint/src/dict/libstrm.o’ failed
make: *** [cint/cint/src/dict/libstrm.o] Error 1

I guess this has also been discovered and “solved” in Build failure with gcc 5.1.0: trying to include iostream.h - #8 by mato
But, to be honest, I do not understand what I have to do (with that file). Can someone please advice again? Thank you!

edit:

user@User-PC:~/root_old_source$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc

user@User-PC:~/root_old_source$ CC=/usr/bin/gcc ./configure --with-cc=“gcc-std=gnu99”
Checking for source directory … /home/user/root_old_source

Checking for GNU Make version >= 3.80 … ok
Checking for C compiler … no C compiler gcc-std=gnu99 found
configure: C compiler MUST be installed
See http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/build-prerequisites

Why do you specify that? --with-cc is mean to state the C compiler. You should be able to simply remove the argument.

Axel.

Thanks for the answer!

They do it in the link.
As far as I understand is that this version of ROOT includes C98 standards and I guess with the help of this configure option it should work. But it doesn’t. But the effect stays the same with and without this option.

edit: Just to be sure: You mean ./configure “cc-std=gnu99” ?

You mean without that option you get

In file included from cint/cint/src/dict/libstrm.h:37:0,
from cint/cint/src/dict/libstrm.cxx:14:

make: *** [cint/cint/src/dict/libstrm.o] Error 1

? O - and you’re using GCC 5.4 (from 2016), trying to compile a ROOT version from 2013. That’s not going to work. Please use the latest 5.34 patch version or better yet, switch to ROOT 6.08.

Cheers, Axel.

Thanks again!

Yes!

Ok, I’ll try it, maybe it works.
I need 5.34.10 because this is the last version of a building for SLitrani (which is build upon ROOT but has not been developed for several years…).
But I will try 5.34.36.
