Compiling Root on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

[rootmonkey]

Dear Root Talk,

yes, I am one of the Mac fanboys who installed OS X 10.5 when it came out.

Naturally, I didn’t assume Root would compile (I am not that naive).

I didn’t know where the appropriate place would be to post this, but here is the compilation error I get:

ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx: In member function ‘void FTVectoriser::MakeMesh(FTGL_DOUBLE)’:
ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx:186: error: invalid conversion from 'GLvoid ()(…)’ to 'GLvoid ()()'

make: *** [ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.o] Error 1
rm utils/src/RStl_tmp.cxx utils/src/rootcint_tmp.cxx

Hopefully this will help in getting Root to compile under OS X 10.5.

Thanks

Thanks for the link.

Sorry, but when I used the built in search of Root talk it did not bring up that thread. Should have done a manual search instead.
