Cannot compile root v5.18.00 on macos tiger

Dear all,

When I build the pro version of root on macos tiger (intel), I get errors at the cint/src/gcc4strm.o generation step (see the joint file). I don’t understand why I got such errors for v5.18.00 while I don’t get them for e.g. for v5.17.08 (which I just successfully built with the same config as for the pro version): a diff of the cint/src/gcc4strm.(h, cxx) shows no difference between the pro version and the 5.17.08 version). Did anyone faced the same problem?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,
Andry.

NB: I am using the latest stable release of gcc4.2.

Hi,

I’ve seen this problem before and it was caused by a bad version of make from Fink. What is the make you use, /sw/bin/make ? Try using /usr/bin/make and it should work.

Hi Fons,

The compilation of v5.18.00 was smooth and successful using /usr/bin/make. Thanks a lot for your advice.

Hi,

what does /sw/bin/make -v report for version of the Fink make?
