Crash in Root build

ROOT
1

I tried to build root 6.14 on OpenSuse 15.0. The build dies with

[ 75%] Built target BaseTROOT
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'lib/libpcre.a', needed by 'lib/libCore.so'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:15707: core/CMakeFiles/Core.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:152: all] Error 2

Has anybody seen this already and can help me?

The information above is not sufficient to diagnose what the problem is. My guess is that the builtin libpcre failed to configure or build. I recommend installing it in the system instead of enabling the builtin version. You can try installing the list of packages for CentOS 7 from this file to get all dependencies ROOT needs. To enable support for all of it, just configure with cmake -Dall=ON $srcdir.

Thanks for your help. I attach a screenshot from yast searching for pcre. The ticked packages are what is installed. Am I missing something?

Please try reconfiguring cmake to use the system library now with cmake . -Dbuiltin_pcre=OFF. I think you are not missing anything, only pcre-devel is sufficient as far as I know from the list above.

Thanks! This solved the problem.
