Error for installing Root source in Ubuntu 22.04

ROOT
21

So i have continues with:

git clone https://github.com/root-project/root.git root_src

and
cmake --build . – install -j8
It goes further, but still stops with an error at some while:

Hi @Frederic_Faure ,
I am not sure what might be causing that, maybe a dirty build directory? Are you building in a previously empty build directory?

However, do you really need to build ROOT from source? You can download a pre-compiled binary for Ubuntu 22.04 or install ROOT as a conda or snap package, see Installing ROOT - ROOT .

Cheers,
Enrico

23

I am using a new building directory. I write these lines:

cd /home/faure/install/cpp

rm -rf root_build root_install root_src

git clone https://github.com/root-project/root.git root_src


mkdir root_build root_install && cd root_build

cmake -Dbuiltin_tbb=ON -Dimt=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../root_install ../root_src 

cmake --build . -- install -j8
24

I thought that it was necessary to use the source in order to develop some programing c++ code using root, and that binary version allows only interactive sessions? Because i don’t see the test/ directory with some good examples, in the binary version?
But i was wrong, i installed the binary version and it works well. Thanks very much for your helps.

25

No, any ROOT package should allow compiling your code against ROOT libraries.

The command root-config --tutdir should point to the tutorials directory, which contains several examples. Tests are probably not included (but you can still look at their code on github or by checking out a copy of the ROOT sources with git).

Great! And sorry about the troubles building from source, that should of course not happen :confused:

Cheers,
Enrico

P.S.
I just found out that your compilation error is due to a (temporary) issue with GCC and C++17, diagnosed here: [cxxmodules] Reduce the amount of header duplications in the modules. by vgvassilev · Pull Request #10498 · root-project/root · GitHub

27

Ok, thanks. If i understand this issue has been detected but not resolved so far. So i will wait before using the source version.

28

The issue with the master branch has been fixed by @hahnjo , the most recent version of the branch should compile.

29

Hello,
Thanks very much for this. It compiles and works very well.
Have a nice day,
Frédéric.

=====================
Just a remark that i don’t understand:
At some point it appears the following error message, but the compilation process is not stopping and at the end everything seems to work. I don’t know if this message means a difficulty?.

Are you sure that comes from the ROOT build and not from another process that’s running in that terminal, e.g. firefox or thunderbird?

31

Down yet?

32

Oups, may be, sorry then.
