Building ROOT v5.18 with cygwin and setting /MDd

ROOT

Hi,

One of our collaborators requires a debug build of ROOT v5.18.00 for windows, built again msvcrtd, rather than msvcrt. I am building on windows using cygwin, and desire to set the /MDd flag. I found this old post:
root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.ph … rtd+msvcrt
but it does not seem to be helping me now. From searching the source, I see the CINTCXXFLAGS and the ultimate inclusion of /MD in the flags when the configcint.h file is generated, but I do not see how to impact how those flags are set.

What should I be doing?

Thanks,
Heather

Hi Heather,

Just add ‘–build=debug’ in the configure options:

Cheers, Bertrand.

Hi,

Ah…I thought I had done that - apparently not!

Thanks,
