Hi,
I am fairly new to ROOT and am trying to build it on Ubuntu WSL. I believe I have installed all the prerequisites linked at https://root.cern.ch/build-prerequisites#ubuntu.
I am getting the following error, and am hoping for some advice on how to fix it. I’m hoping to avoid using the binaries.

I believe I’ve managed to solve that issue and get one step further. I had previously been running
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
which apparently did not actually update all my packages for some reason.
Instead, running
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
caught that some of my packages were out of date. Running cmake again got me to the next error:

that’s surprising. I invite @oshadura to have a look, but in the mean time, could you post how you configured the build and also the log of the configure step?
@dmishins thank you so much for report! It is definitely looks like valid bug (missing dependencies for ROOT C++ modules). Can you tell me which CMake options you enabled please?

→ dependencies look correct, can you please try to make a clean build from scratch
removing files in your build directory. Thanks!
I’ve just been running cmake with the default settings as described in the building root page. I believe that when I try building from scratch after deleting everything, I get back to the first error, so the second error may be a red herring.
I’m trying to rerun the build now to double check, but here are the commands I am running and the output:
EDIT: Actual output from the 6.20 build this time. Before I had pasted the wrong output.

@Axel I just installed ROOT v6.20.04 from the binary for Ubuntu 18.04 in WSL and cannot import ROOT. My impression is that python 2.7 is needed and maybe PyPy/cppyy is missing. Do I just need to build from source against py3 and all will be good?
Don’t laugh, but I’m new to ROOT because I’m finally switching from PAW. Okay, stop laughing. I’d be happy to go back to scratch and install in Windows 10 rather than WSL, but the info I found pointed to WSL. Redirect me, please if that would be a better route, i.e., via Visual Studio. I’d be happy for a pointer to the right docs and could try to go from there. Thanks!
Python is built into my version of Ubuntu, but it is in the path only as python3, not as python. The error that occurs during “import ROOT as rt” includes a failure to find libpython2.7.so.1.0 , which is why I was wondering if this is a mismatch between the pre-built binary and my Ubuntu. I’m also not sure if I need PyPy/cppyy as a separate dependency.
I thought this was going to require building ROOT under Ubuntu / WSL, which is why I joined this thread, but I’ve got it fixed in the binary distribution, so I’ll duck out now.
