Hello, the binary I have downloaded last November for MacOS 11.0 worked fine. Now I updated my laptop to MacOS 11.1 and the above version (macOS 11.0 x86_64 Xcode 12) doesn’t work any more. Do you foresee to produce a binary for MacOS 11.1 soon? Many thanks, Elemer

Hello again, waiting for reply, my laptop is now upgraded to MacOS 11.2. Of course, my previous installation MacOS 11.0 doesn’t work on it. I think I need MacOS 11.2 binary to download, since the error message when I try to run ROOT reads as follows: elemer@admins-macbook-pro ~ % root -l ERROR in…

Hi, I think the solution is the same as here: Downloading binary for macOS Big Sur version 11.0.1 - #7 by Axel , you probably need a xcode-select --install to update/reinstall the compiler toolchain after the upgrade. Cheers, Enrico

Hi, I have already on my laptop ROOT macOS Big Sur version 11.0, downloaded previously, i.e. I have root_v6.22.06.macos-11.0-x86_64-clang120.tar.gz in my Downloads directory. Should I delete it and download it again? I don’t see any more recent binary version for macOS on Release 62206 - ROOT . In …

Hi Enrico, it prints: elemer@admins-macbook-pro Downloads % ls /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs MacOSX.sdk MacOSX10.15.sdk MacOSX11.1.sdk BTW I have downloaded in the meantime again the same binary and indeed you are right, it gives the same error. What is SDK? Thanks, Elemer

Uhm alright, so ROOT looks for MacOSX11.0.sdk but you only have MacOSX11.1.sdk. I don’t think the pre-compiled binaries currently available will work for you (but I’m not a mac user, let’s see if Axel has a better idea). In the meanwhile, to unblock you: you can install ROOT via conda, macports or …

Hi Enrico, many thanks for all these clarifications. Indeed, I think a ROOT binary compiled with macOS 11.2 will do for me, since this will automatically use the corresponding correct SDK on the macOS 11.2 platform. So if this won’t be done in a too far future by the ROOT Team (Axel may tell me) th…

No problem. Compiling ROOT from source is always an option, but should really be your last resort, I would recommend to try conda or homebrew first, getting a working ROOT installation with those package managers typically just requires running a single installation command. Cheers, Enrico

[image] MacOSX Big Sur Update Newbie Dear @Axel , my SDK directory looks like this: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 16 Dez 15:01 MacOSX.sdk -> MacOSX11.1.sdk drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 256 9 Jul 2020 MacOSX10.15.sdk drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 224 30 Nov 13:33 MacOSX11.1.s…

Yes I’m aware of this, super annoying - we’ll get it fixed. As Wile_E points out, a symlink is a workaround. We’re tracking this at cling depends on exact macOS SDK headers · Issue #7021 · root-project/root · GitHub
