Error building ROOT from source on MacOS 12.4

Hello,

I’m trying to build root from source.
System: MacOS 12.4, Intel chip, all command line tools upgraded to the latest version.

Build command:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL-PREFIX=$HOME/Work/root -DPython3_EXECUTABLE=$HOME/envs/base/bin/python ..
cmake --build . -- -j6 install

This returns error:

[ 59%] Building CXX object interpreter/llvm/src/tools/clang/lib/Analysis/CMakeFiles/obj.clangAnalysis.dir/RetainSummaryManager.cpp.o
CMake Error at XROOTD-stamp/XROOTD-download-Release.cmake:49 (message):

Any idea for this?

Hi @QuarkQuartet ,

and welcome to the ROOT forum!

There is a known problem with xrootd in v6.26.02, you can see this popped up a few times on the forum. Can you please try emptying the build directory and build instead the v6-26-00-patches branch?

Also note that unless you have very specific needs you don’t have to build ROOT from source, see Installing ROOT - ROOT.

Cheers,
Enrico

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I tried to build for v6.26.00, and another error comes out at 92%.

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX12.3.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/__functional/perfect_forward.h:14:10: 
fatal error: 'tuple' file not found
#include <tuple>

Any idea about this bug?

I would like to build from source because I want the pyroot to match my python version. The pre-build binary seems do not offer the option to select the python version. I’m using 3.9. Are the pre-build version using 3.7?

Hi @QuarkQuartet ,

the latest branch with all patches is v6-26-00-patches, not the v6.26.00 tag, could that be it?

That compilation error is extremely weird, maybe xcode is not completely up to date?

The pre-built package is built for the default Python version coming with the system. The homebrew package might come with a newer Python, I’m not sure.

@Axel might have more suggestions.

Cheers,
Enrico

Looks indeed like a broken Xcode install. Is installing ROOT through Conda an option for you?

@Axel @eguiraud
Thank you for your comments.

I finally figured it out. The problem is that the ROOT needs some lib, which is offered by llvm. I have already installed the full XCode and llvm, but for some reason, the llvm library is missing in the environment variables.

brew reinstall llvm, export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/llvm/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/llvm/include" export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin
This solved the problem.

I also tried the recently released 6.26.04, but error appeared:

Does it require the most recent update of Apple SDK (13.2)?

Any llvm library that ROOT would need is provided by ROOT itself; you cannot take that of llvm. I might be misunderstanding something here?

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "TCollection::UseRWLock()",

That still hints at an inconsistent build. This symbol should be in core/cont/CMakeFiles/Cont.dir/src/TCollection.cxx.o. You can check with:

$ nm -C  core/cont/CMakeFiles/Cont.dir/src/TCollection.cxx.o | grep UseRWLock
00000000000027e0 T TCollection::UseRWLock(bool)

Thank you for your answer.


This is what I get. It found 0000000018b0 T TCollection::UseRWLock(bool) for me.

If I delete the \n in your command (I copy and paste, system regard there is an \n character)


Here is the result… I do not know why this happens.

But if I only run nm -C core/cont, it prints out a lot:
