Error compiling root_v5.24/00 on MacOS X Leopard

cstrato · January 20, 2010, 9:26pm

Dear MacRooters,

While I do not have any problems to compile root_v5.24/00 on MacOS X Tiger I am not able to compile it on Leopard.
It does not matter if I “configure macosx” or “configure macosx64” the error message is always the same:

Does anybody know what the reason for this error could be?

I am using MacOS X 10.5.5 and XCode 3.1.1 with gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5488), gcc -v:

Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-apple-darwin9
Configured with: /var/tmp/gcc/gcc-5488~2/src/configure --disable-checking -enable-werror --prefix=/usr --mandir=/share/man --enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++ --program-transform-name=/^[cg][^.-]*$/s/$/-4.0/ --with-gxx-include-dir=/include/c++/4.0.0 --with-slibdir=/usr/lib --build=i686-apple-darwin9 --with-arch=apple --with-tune=generic --host=i686-apple-darwin9 --target=i686-apple-darwin9
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5488)

It is strange that gcc -v has as target “i686-apple-darwin9” but gfortran has as target “i686-apple-darwin8”, see gfortran -v:

Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-apple-darwin8

gcc version 4.2.3

Is this correct or could this be the problem?

Ypur gfortran is too old. Please upgrade to the latest version coming with gcc-4.4 in Fink.

Cheers, Fons.

Dear Fons,

Thank you for your suggestion, however I want to avoid using fink:

First, since using Tiger on Intel-Mac I am glad that I no longer need fink and having to use fink on Leopard would mean one step backwards.

Second, for R which I also need, since my program is an R package, fink is not recommended, see the answer to my question:
stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-ma … 07030.html

Do you think that I can use one of the options mentioned in: r.research.att.com/tools/

For example for gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz the version gives:

Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-apple-darwin9
Configured with: /Builds/gcc/gcc_42-5564/build/obj/src/configure --disable-checking --enable-werror --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++,fortran --program-transform-name=/^[cg][^.-]*$/s/$/-4.2/ --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.0.0 --with-slibdir=/usr/lib --build=i686-apple-darwin9 --host=i686-apple-darwin9 --target=i686-apple-darwin9
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5564)

This is supposed to be version fortran 4.2.4, see: stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-ma … 07033.html
Do you think that this version will work?

Alternatively, is there a possibility to compile root w/o gfortran by disabling some options during configure?

Best regards
Christian

Dear Fons,

Meanwhile I have installed gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz from r.research.att.com/tools/
and tried to compile root_v5.24/00 with the following options:

./configure macosx64 --with-cc="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -arch x86_64" --with-cxx="/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch x86_64" --with-f77="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64"
make

This resulted in the following error:

If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file
`config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help.

Otherwise, simply type `make' again to build the library,
or `make refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs python).

As far as I understand the error this means that FreeType cannot be built for 64 bit. Is this correct?

Next I tried to compile root as follows:

./configure macosx64 --with-cxx="/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch x86_64" --with-f77="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64"
make

Now I got the following error:

g++ -dynamiclib -single_module -undefined dynamic_lookup -install_name @rpath/libminicern.so -O2 -m64 -o lib/libminicern.so misc/minicern/src/cernlib.o -ldl misc/minicern/src/hbook.o misc/minicern/src/kernlib.o misc/minicern/src/zebra.o libgfortran.dylib /usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/libgfortranbegin.a

make: *** [lib/libminicern.so] Error 1
rm core/utils/src/RStl_tmp.cxx core/utils/src/rootcint_tmp.cxx

Since gfortran-4.2 does not contain libgfortran.dylib I modified F77LIBS in “Makefile.macosx64” from:

F77LIBS      := $(shell $(F77) -m64 -print-file-name=libgfortran.dylib)
F77LIBS      += $(shell $(F77) -m64 -print-file-name=libgfortranbegin.a)

to:

F77LIBS      := $(shell $(F77) -m64 -print-file-name=libgfortranbegin.a)

Now I could finally compile “lib/libminicern.so” but I got the following error:

Options to Xrootd-configure:  --ccflavour=macos64 --with-ssl-shared=yes --disable-krb4 --enable-echo --no-arch-subdirs --disable-mon --with-cxx=/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch x86_64 --with-ld=g++

make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
*** Error condition reported by make (rc = 2): rm -f net/xrootd/src/xrootd/GNUmakefile exit 1

Thus it seems that xrootd cannot be compiled for 64 bit either. Is this correct?

For this reason I disabled xrootd using:

./configure macosx64 --with-cxx="/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch x86_64" --with-f77="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64" --disable-xrootd
make

Now it seems that I could finally compile root for 64 bit.

However, I got the following link error:

Searching google I found the following link: lists.apple.com/archives/Fortran … 00012.html

All Mac (Unix??) executables are started through the C runtime library , crtX.x.xx.o. Cos UNIX is a C based system.

This runtime library endeavours to call a main() function which would be found in any C type program.

Fortran programs do not have a main() function so the Fortran runtime library, libgfortranbegin.a or whatever, provides a dummy main() function to keep the C runtime happy.

Thus in my understanding the error means that ld is looking for main() in “/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/libgfortranbegin.a” but
cannot find the version for 64 bit. Is this correct?

Do I need to change F77FLAGS or another setting in Makefile.macosx64?

Best regards
Christian

Dear Fons,

Finally I succeeded compiling root as 64 bit. I needed to install the following gfortran version:
r.research.att.com/tools/gfortra … in9.tar.gz

Furthermore, I deleted the following two lines of “Makefile.macosx64”:

F77LIBS      := $(shell $(F77) -m64 -print-file-name=libgfortran.dylib)
F77LIBS      += $(shell $(F77) -m64 -print-file-name=libgfortranbegin.a)

and compiled root_v5.24/00 with the following options:

./configure macosx64 --with-cxx="/usr/bin/g++-4.2" --with-f77="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2" --disable-xrootd

as suggested by Simon, see: stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-ma … 07046.html

Nevertheless, these questions remain:
Why can FreeType not be built for 64 bit?
Why can xrootd not be built for 64 bit?

Finally, please allow me to suggest to use this version of gfortran and abandon the fink version.
This has the advantage that the same version of gfortran can be used to build ROOT and R as 64 bit versions.

Best regards
Christian
