Build Issue with ROOT 6.16.00 (TIOFeatures / TTree)

[ksmith]

Hi,

When building the recent 6.16.00 build on Ubuntu 18.04 I run into the following error message:

In file included from input_line_12:38:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

That is strange. We do not see this error and TTree is marker (line 63 in TIOFeatures.hxx as a friend of the class TIOFeatures. How did you configure ROOT/cmake?

[ksmith]

Nothing special

cmake ../root-6.16.00 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/root/6.16.00

I’m also getting a number of warnings like this:

/root/software/root/6.16.00/build/include/TBranch.h:1:4096: warning: null character ignored [-Wnull-character]                             
  ...<U+0000>               
     ^

humm … sometimes must have gone wrong when downloading the source file (and is likely the cause of the error you first mentioned as the ‘friend’ declaration must be directing to a wrongly spelled name).

Try wiping out (or setting aside) all the source and build directory and restart from scratch.

You are correct, seems to have been a corrupted build.
