Error: Building module 'Net' implicitly

[preimer]

I am trying to install Root 6-24 from source on OSX 11.4 from source. It goes smoothly enough for the majority of the build, but I eventually get the following error message

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ranlib: file: ../../../../lib/libclingUtils.a(PlatformWin.cpp.o) has no symbols
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ranlib: file: ../../../../lib/libclingUtils.a(PlatformWin.cpp.o) has no symbols

I had previously configured with

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/reimer/Documents/local/ -Dbuiltin_glew=ON ../

and did the actual build with the command

make --build . --  -j1

my compiler is

CSI358562:buildDir reimer$ c++ -v

Hi @preimer,

Are you building root from scratch or reusing that same build directory?

The error explains that there should be a missing dependency, but I see that dependency is resolved in code: root/CMakeLists.txt at master · root-project/root · GitHub
so it should be something else…

Hi,

I’m building it from scratch in a new build directory. That is, after each failed try, I learn what I can, and then I

cd …
rm -r buildDir
mkdir buildDir
cd buildDir

Hi Paul,

I just updated my OS to 11.4 and tried to build ROOT v6-24-00-patches branch and I am sorry but I can’t reproduce issue…

Could you run make --build . -- -j1 VERBOSE=1 and paste the full invocation of the failing command?
