Error building ROOT 6.26/10 on Win11 with VS17

Dor_Miron · December 30, 2022, 7:08pm

ROOT Version: 6.26/10
Platform: Windows 11
Compiler: Visual Studio 17.4.3

Hello,
I want to build ROOT for python 3.10 so I’m following the “Building ROOT from source” instructions.

I have also installed and don’t know if relevant:
Build tools with Windows 10 SDK and Windows 11 SDK
Desktop development with C++ (C++ core desktop features)
CMake 3.25.1

While performing the build stage,

cmake --build . -j 3 --config Release --target install

after ~30 minutes I got an error (which was too long to copy paste here). So I tried to run the build again and here is the full output:

Welcome to the ROOT Forum!
See:

bellenot, Thank you for your answer.
To avoid bugs and unexpected behavior in a pre-release version (master branch) perhaps it would be better if I install a VS version compatible to LLVM.

Do you happen to know what version can I use?
Is my concern legitimate?

Thank you.

bellenot · December 30, 2022, 9:03pm

For versions of ROOT before v6.28/00, any version of Visual Studio anterior to v17.4
And for clarity, please reply to the original topic (I moved it)

So I did a checkout to branch master, deleted everything in the last build directory and tried to redo the steps described in “Building ROOT from source”

cmake -G"Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -Thost=x64 -DPython3_ROOT_DIR=C:/Users/dor00/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=…/root_install …/root_src

And then:

cmake --build . -j=3 --config Release --target install

I now get a different error and the build took longer until the error showed up, so it seems like the last problem was solved.

Note that I am trying to install a 64 bit version and I’m not sure why the folder “Program Files (x86)” is shown for windows kits.
Also, I am using windows 11 and the windows kits folder shows something about windows 10.

This is my new error:

I cut the output a bit from before and after the first error, but it just keep going like this for a dozen similar errors.

bellenot · December 31, 2022, 9:31am

I’ll have to try after the Holidays break. Note that I can’t try on Windows 11…

Dor_Miron · January 2, 2023, 3:43pm

Sharing my problem with ChatGPT gave the following result:

It looks like the error you are seeing is related to a conflict between two definitions of the type `byte`.
The first definition is provided by the Windows header files and is an alias for the type `unsigned char`,
while the second definition is provided by the C++ Standard Library header `cstddef` and is an
enumeration type with a single enumerator called `byte`.

One possible solution to this issue is to include the C++ Standard Library header `cstddef` before any
of the Windows header files in the source file where you are seeing the error. This will ensure that the
`std::byte` type is defined before the Windows header files are included, and should resolve the
ambiguity between the two definitions of `byte`.

Alternatively, you could try to modify the build settings for the project to include the C++ Standard
Library header `cstddef` before any of the Windows header files. This can often be done by setting the
appropriate preprocessor defines or include paths in the project settings.

Hope I’m not too naive and that it might help

Dor_Miron · January 7, 2023, 3:19pm

Is there possibly any suggestion as to what I should do?

Dor_Miron · January 8, 2023, 12:01pm

Update:
Tried to use Windows 11 SDK 10.0.22621.0 instead of 10.0.22000.0.
Got the same result, several errors with “reference to
‘byte’ is ambiguous”.

bellenot · January 9, 2023, 9:30am

Hi, sorry for the delay, I will investigate this week and will come back to you

bellenot · January 11, 2023, 8:12pm

So FYI, I managed to build ROOT master with VS 2022 v17.4.4 and Windows 11 SDK version 10.0.22000.0 without any problem.
And as I can see in the errors you got:

They are coming from MySQL (mysql.h), so please disable mysql (-Dmysql=OFF) which has not been tested on Windows, and build again.

Dor_Miron · January 12, 2023, 9:34am

bellenot you king It worked!

I have installed:

CMake 3.25.1 (with the GUI app)
C++ CMake tools for windows as an individual component in VS17.4.3 community 2022.
Visual studio build tools…

It seems like I do have the file mentioned in the error:

C:/Users/dor00/ROOT/root_build_sdk22000/bin/prepareHistFactory.bat

And a strange thing is that all files were seemed to be last modified during the build, except this file which was last modified 13 days ago when I published my last question. I’m pretty sure I deleted the entire directory before the build today so I can only assume it is copied from the master branch?

Thank you again for your help!

bellenot · January 12, 2023, 9:46am

Oh you’re right! I’ll fix this. Thanks for reporting it!
And you’re very welcome!

bellenot · January 12, 2023, 1:00pm

This is now fixed in master by the commit #71854014. Thanks for reporting the issue!

Dor_Miron · January 14, 2023, 12:51pm

Amazing! the new build has finished, the install directory has filled and I can finally run ROOT from the VS command prompt.
My new problem (and hopefully the final one ) is that I can’t run pyroot.
I added my \bin to the PYTHONPATH and can:

import ROOT

But I get the following error:

input_line_1:1:10: fatal error: 'new' file not found
#include <new>
         ^~~~~
Assertion failed: OldBuilder->DeferredDeclsToEmit.empty() && "Should have emitted all decls deferred to emit.",
file C:\Users\dor00\ROOT\root_src\interpreter\llvm\src\tools\clang\lib\CodeGen\ModuleBuilder.cpp, line 155

Which is identical to the error I get trying to run root from cmd, so perhaps solving this will solve my pyroot problem as well…?
From what I understand the only difference from VS command prompt and cmd is environment variables? Any idea as to what could be the problem?

A bit more information:

Trying to install ROOT from the binary gave me the same error, which is one of the reasons I tried to build ROOT from source in the first place seeing this.
To rule out different SDK versions, I can say that the only SDK version installed is 10.0.22000.0

bellenot · January 15, 2023, 11:57am

Did you start Python from the regular command prompt? You must also start Python from a VS command prompt, or call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat" (for 64 bit) or "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars32.bat" (for 32 bit) before starting Python

Dor_Miron · January 15, 2023, 1:27pm

So root isn’t supposed to work from regular cmd?
I am using PyCharm, do I need to figure out a way for PyCharm’s default shell to be the VS one?

bellenot · January 15, 2023, 4:06pm

Yes, if you call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat" (for 64 bit) or "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars32.bat" (for 32 bit) to properly set the environment variables before calling root or Python or whatever is using ROOT
