Cannot compile using ACLiC, VC++ 2010, Windows 7

ROOT
1

Hi,

I have just started working with ROOT for a few days. After reading previous posts, I have managed to fixed the error with “cl.exe” by setting environment variables with VC++ 2010. Unfortunately, the problem with ACLic remains.

Here’s my macro file.

{ gROOT->ProcessLine(".L Qfuncs.cxx+"); gROOT->ProcessLine(".L RLAfuncs.cxx+"); gROOT->ProcessLine(".L ConvoluteRLAQ.C+"); gROOT->ProcessLine("ConvoluteRLAQ(500)"); }

And here’s the result.

[code]Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 x86 tools.

What should I do?

Hi,

What kind of file system do you build on - is D: a local drive?

Can you do

gDebug=7 .x macroRunRLAQ.C .! dir
and post the output of everything?

Cheers, Axel.

Hi,

You cannot run from the “c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin>” directory. Please start root from a directory you can write in.

Cheers, Bertrand

Hi Bertrand, I’m sorry but do you mean that I should start ROOT with cmd? If I don’t start ROOT within MS VC++, there will be an error about the file “cl.exe”.

Hi Axel, I downloaded the tar file from the website, unzipped that and used MS VC++ Command Prompt to start ROOT (second and third lines). Yes, D: is a local disk in my laptop. I unzipped ROOT tar file on that since there was more space. Here’s the output when I tried your commands. It also said “rootcint.exe has stopped working” twice during the process.

Hi Nam,

[quote=“NamHoNguyen”]Hi Bertrand, I’m sorry but do you mean that I should start ROOT with cmd? If I don’t start ROOT within MS VC++, there will be an error about the file “cl.exe”.[/quote]Well, let me repeat: don’t start root from “c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\bin”, where you don’t have write permission. It will never work. You have several options to solve your problem. Here are two of them:
[ul][li]once you started the Visual Studio command prompt, you can go (cd) somewhere else, where you have write permission[/li]
[li]start a regular command prompt, and then set-up the environment variables to be able to use Visual C++, by calling:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat[/li][/ul]
Cheers, Bertrand.

Hi Bertrand,
I tried the second way and here’s what I got:

C:\Users\DELL>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I think the first way works, but there must be something wrong with the codes. It is quite strange because the codes run perfectly fine on my professor’s laptop (on Linux through VMware). Or probably, it is because he installed ROOT manually while all I did to install ROOT was just unzipping the tar file.

Can you have a look at that to see if you can help me? Thank you very much!

Hi,

[quote=“NamHoNguyen”]I tried the second way and here’s what I got:

C:\Users\DELL>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.[/quote]Well, this way is for the case you started a command prompt which is not the Visual Studio Command Prompt… But ok, just forget about it, since it seems you’re not a Windows user. Let’s use the way which is working for you.

[quote=“NamHoNguyen”]I think the first way works, but there must be something wrong with the codes. It is quite strange because the codes run perfectly fine on my professor’s laptop (on Linux through VMware). Or probably, it is because he installed ROOT manually while all I did to install ROOT was just unzipping the tar file.[/quote]The first question is: Are you sure you downloaded the correct version of ROOT (i.e. root_v5.34.25.win32.vc10.tar.gz or root_v5.34.25.win32.vc10.debug.tar.gz)?
Then, if it is the case, you can simply try to fix your code (at line 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, and 92), as the error message is telling you:

[quote=“NamHoNguyen”]D:\root\macros\RLAfuncs.cxx(87) : error C2668: 'sqrt' : ambiguous call to overloaded function [ ... ][/quote]And if you don’t know how to solve this kind of error, just ask one of your colleagues (and maybe read a book on C++)

Cheers, Bertrand.

Hi Bertrand,

I tried both Release and Debug versions and received identical result. I will look into and try to fix the codes now. Thank you very much for your help!

Hi Nam,

[quote=“NamHoNguyen”]I tried both Release and Debug versions and received identical result. I will look into and try to fix the codes now. Thank you very much for your help![/quote]The most important here is the version number ( vc10 ) to make sure it matches the version of Visual Studio you are using
And you’re very welcome! :slight_smile:

Cheers, Bertrand.
