ROOT not running due to cling/clang/xcode versions/configurations on MacOS Mojave

Hello,

I have upgraded my MacOS to 10.14.1 and my xcode through Appstore to version 10.1 (10B61) recently. With that being done, I’m trying to run binaries of root version 6.12/06 (what is probably is not the best idea as Mojave is not officially supported as the moment, if I understand it correctly).

The situation I experience is similar to the one described in this thread: https://root-forum.cern.ch/t/embedded-cling-error-with-latest-xcode/19191 and I do not really understand a comment about cling/clang installations that has to solve the problem.

  1. This is what I get when I run
    root

ERROR in cling::CIFactory::createCI(): cannot extract standard library include paths!

Invoking: LC_ALL=C /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/c++ -O2 -DNDEBUG -xc++ -E -v /dev/null 2>&1 >/dev/null | awk '/^#include </,/^End of search/{if (!/^#include </ && !/^End of search/){ print }}' | GREP_OPTIONS= grep -E "(c|g)\+\+"

Results was:

With exit code 256
input_line_1:1:10: fatal error: 'new' file not found
#include <new>
input_line_3:36:10: fatal error: 'string' file not found
#include <string>
input_line_9:1:10: fatal error: 'iostream' file not found
#include <iostream>

  1. What I get when i run
    echo | LC_ALL=C clang++ -D_DEBUG -D_GNU_SOURCE -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS -O3 -std=c++11 -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -fno-common -Wcast-qual -fno-strict-aliasing -xc++ -E -v - 2&gt;&amp;1

I would appreciate some help with this topic.
Many thanks in advance,

Hi Evgeny,

do you see the same issues with the 6.14/06 binaries as well?

Cheers,
D

Hello,
thanks for your answer, I’ve just tried and the error is the same, I believe:

Do you have full XCode installed and have run xcode-select --install? The sysroot you are missing is part of XCode, you may need to download the SDK for Mojave by hand if it’s not there.

Thanks a lot.
What I had was just installation that’s coming from the AppStore directly. Apparently it was missing the needed part.
Your suggestion helped and everything is working now.
