To build the ROOT OpenGL add-on library see README/INSTALL.

To build ROOT type:

gmake

I guess my question is which of these libraries are neccessary to compile root?
thanks,

You can install the most basic ROOT version with no options with

./configure solarisCC5
gmake

Hi Rene,

I tried ./configure solarisCC5, here is the outcome:

 :~/root>gmake
  gmake: *** No targets.  Stop.

               -Aram.

Hi,

It seems that gmake did you find the file named ‘Makefile’ in the current directory. If the file really there? If it is, then check that there is no environment setting to stir gmake (for example MAKEFLAGS … to check on some shell you can do: printenv | grep -i make)

Cheers,
Philippe.
