CMake Generate step failed rhel8

Hi here is the trouble during cmake installation following the README.md instructions.

cmake …/…/root
CMake Deprecation Warning at cmake/modules/RootNewMacros.cmake:8 (cmake_policy):
The OLD behavior for policy CMP0022 will be removed from a future version
of CMake.

The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
specific short-term circumstances. Projects should be ported to the NEW
behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.

I guess @oshadura can help you.

aurelien · June 15, 2021, 12:52pm

Hi @oshadura
Tell me if you need more information.
Aurélien

oshadura · June 15, 2021, 1:13pm

I believe we don’t have any of these targets in root…

aurelien · June 15, 2021, 2:32pm

I have shared around me to find the way to make it fit as you explain and told you back about the evolution of the situation.
Kind regards

aurelien · June 16, 2021, 5:50am

Can you please tell me how to unload the unecessary components ?

check / clean your “CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH”:
echo ${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH}
set | grep CMAKE

aurelien · June 17, 2021, 6:18am

Hi, I have done what you told me … but it seems empty.

# echo ${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH}
#

# set |grep CMAKE
#

Wile_E_Coyote · June 17, 2021, 7:14am

Try (see if there is anything suspicious): export | grep DIR

Can it be that you have a “system-provided” ROOT 5 version (e.g. in “/usr/[bin|lib]” or “/usr/local/[bin|lib]”) installed?

aurelien · June 17, 2021, 7:25am

# export | grep DIR
declare -x XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/0"

About ROOT 5 … possible, we are working on share directory for the installation.

/Shared-dir1/2/3/root/root_v6.24.00/root-6.24.00

Wile_E_Coyote · June 17, 2021, 7:32am

Before trying to build a new ROOT version, make sure that nothing in your “environment” points to another ROOT version.
Check:

which root
which rootcint
echo ${ROOTSYS}
echo ${PATH}
echo ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
echo ${PYTHONPATH}

aurelien · June 17, 2021, 7:35am

# which root
/usr/bin/which: no root in (/usr/share/Modules/bin:/opt/lenovo/onecli:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/pbs/bin:/opt/pbs/sbin:/root/bin)
# which rootcint
/usr/bin/which: no rootcint in (/usr/share/Modules/bin:/opt/lenovo/onecli:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/pbs/bin:/opt/pbs/sbin:/root/bin)
# echo ${ROOTSYS}

# echo ${PATH}
/usr/share/Modules/bin:/opt/lenovo/onecli:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/pbs/bin:/opt/pbs/sbin:/root/bin

Wile_E_Coyote · June 17, 2021, 7:42am

You run “cmake …/…/root”. Are sure that the “…/…/root” directory contains a clean source code of the ROOT version that you want to build?
Also, make sure that you start with a clean “build directory” (i.e. remove it and create anew).

aurelien · June 17, 2021, 7:54am

Yes it is the clean uncompressed stuff. But ok I redraw all from 0 here is the result:

You cannot use the directory called build inside the ROOT sources as the build directory to build ROOT.

You need to create /shared-dir1/appli/produits/root-6.24/build and then run cmake -B /shared-dir1/appli/produits/root-6.24/build -S /shared-dir1/appli/produits/root-6.24/root-6.24.00 or equivalent.

The build instructions in the README on GitHub are not very clear, I will update them (or maybe remove them and simply point to the more complete and accurate https://root.cern/install/build_from_source ).

Does this help?
Enrico

aurelien · June 17, 2021, 8:24am

The instruction in the README.md

Make a directory for building

    $ mkdir build
    $ cd build

Run cmake and make

    $ cmake ../root
    $ make -j8

Setup and run ROOT

    $ source bin/thisroot.sh
    $ root

# pwd
/shared-dir1/appli/produits/root-6.24/root-6.24.00
# cmake ../root

Yes as I said the instructions in the README are not very accurate and I’ll remove them in favor of a link to https://root.cern/install/build_from_source . They expect:

that you run those commands not from the ROOT source directory as you are doing, but from one level above
that the ROOT sources are stored in a directory called root, not root-6.24.00 like in your case

You can try this instead, which should work better:

create /shared-dir1/appli/produits/root-6.24/build (note that this build directory is not under root-6.24.00, and it should be empty
run cmake -B /shared-dir1/appli/produits/root-6.24/build -S /shared-dir1/appli/produits/root-6.24/root-6.24.0 which is independent of your pwd and specifies build directory and source directory explicitly

Hi, cmake ../root can’t work: there is no /shared-dir1/appli/produits/root-6.24/root directory on your system.

For the second command, you need to pass the source directory to the -S option (see man cmake), which if I understand correctly is /shared-dir1/appli/produits/root-6.24/root-6.24.00, not /shared-dir1/appli/produits/root-6.24 as you passed.

Cheers,
Enrico
