Compiling xmlparser on Mac OS X Mojave


ROOT Version: 6.14.06
Platform: Mac OS X 10.14.2
Compiler: CLang 6.0.1


Hi all,

I’m trying to install ROOT on my new Mac Book Pro.
It seems I can’t get xmlparser compiled.

I do execute the following command:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Applications/root/ -DX11=ON -DBUILTINXROOTD=ON -DROOFIT=ON -DPYTHON=ON -Dmathmore=ON -Dxml=ON /Applications/root-sources/

I get the following output :

Then I go for:

And I can’t get to the end of the compilation. The following error message appear:

If anyone has an idea…

Thank you very much for your help

It seems you are picking a custom installed version of libxml2 at /opt/local. Maybe you need to compile ROOT from a shell in which Homebrew, MacPorts, etc, are not enabled so that you use only system software instead. Or make sure to use all software from just one place. If you just want ROOT installed and already have Homebrew, it’s as easy as brew install root.

Hi Amadio,

I’m so used to compile root by myself… I did not thought about homebrew.
Does Homebrew install all the root packages and enable python support?

Sincerely

Yes, ROOT installed with Homebrew can use python and has support for xml. More information can be found at https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/root. Just remember to set PYTHONPATH if needed. I think it’s the only thing that needs to be set by hand for it to work. Also, make sure to use python from Homebrew if you install ROOT from there.

Ok I installed ROOT with brew… It worked fine (with no surprise to be honest)
But when it comes to my application I still get the following error message:
ld: library not found for -lXMLParser

This is the reason why I explicitly tried to compile root by myself

(this is linked to this post: Font error on mac os)

You probably just need to set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to where ROOT libraries are installed.

We solved it in between… Sometimes a make clean saves the day.

The rest should be my problem… for now

Thanks again for the help
