Compiling Root 6.02.00 under Mac OS X Yosemite?

ROOT
1

Greetings,

I made a mistake of upgrading to Mac OS X Yosemite beta version, and root stopped working on my machine. I tried to compile the 6.02.00 version of root but can’t get it compiled or linked due to missing “assert.h” file

I used

./configure macosx64 --with-macosxvers=10.9

to compile as otherwise the config script doesn’t find the Xcode SDK (since there is no 10.10 update yet).

Has anyone succeeded in compiling the Root 6 (or an earlier version) under Yosemite, and if so, is it possible to download a binary installation?

Thanks,

Greg

Hi,

I managed to build ROOT 6 on 10.10. You are likely missing the command line tools; xcode-select --install might help.

Thanks, Axel!

Indeed, doing what you proposed (plus downloading the Xtools for Yosemite from the developer site) worked!

Now I can run root, but I face a different problem (previously reported here, but with no solution).

I can load and execute C++ macros in interpeter mode, i.e.:

.L example.cc
example();

However, when I do

.L example.cc++

to run in the compiled mode, the compilation goes fine, but when it builds the library I always get:

ld: cannot link directly with /usr/lib/libextension.dylib for architecture x86_64

although I have this library:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 261648 9 9 19:15 /usr/lib/libextension.dylib*

Any ideas on how I could overcome this problem?

Thanks,

Greg
