ROOT Version: 6.32.08
Platform: Mac OS M1 Sequoia 15.3

I get the following error when attempting to compile ROOT on my machine:

I wasn’t able to find any similar errors, any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Welcome to the ROOT forum

Which cmake options did you use ?

Thank you
For CMake options, I use the default options as shown in the screenshot below, and I turned off pyroot, xrootd, and builtin_xrootd

On 15.3 the command:

pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables

should give version: 16.2.0.0.1.1733547573

When it refuses to build I noticed the followwing should work:

# remove the current Command Line Tools
sudo rm -r /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

# Reset xcode-select
xcode-select -r

# Then install. You will be asked to click a button 
xcode-select --install

# Go in the System Settings -> General -> Software Update 
# if there is a new version of the Command Line Tools, update it.

# Install ROOT
git clone https://github.com/root-project/root.git
mkdir root-build
cd root-build
cmake ../root
make -j8

Thank you for investigating. I tried the steps included in your reply, and when checking for a new version of the Command Line Tools, I was already up to date. I installed ROOT via git clone and received the same error at the same step in the build.
