Hello,
I mistakenly removed my root installation 6.30.04 and tried reinstalling (with Both 6.30.04 and 6.30.02) after updating to MacOS 14.4.1. I am getting the following error after the command make -j6:

I installed it with the same commands as below a few days ago and it worked, I even factory reset my MacBook M1 air to ensure a fresh install.

./configure --enable-asimage --enable-builtin-freetype --enable-gviz --enable-mathmore --enable-python --enable-qt --enable-roofit --enable-tmva --enable-xft

cmake -Dgnuinstall=ON -DPython3_EXECUTABLE=python3 -Dxrootd=off -Dminuit2=ON -Dbuiltin_glew=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/root/root_source ..

make -j6

Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks
Prabhat

Usually I do:

$ git clone https://github.com/root-project/root.git
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ../root
$ make -j4
$ source bin/thisroot.sh

and it works fine.

Hello @couet, thank you for your help. It did work. I guess sometimes less complications is the better way.
However, even more than solving I am always curious to know what caused the errors, so I do have 2 concerns, if you can please clarify:

Does “not-following” the commands I gave make any difference and can they lead to some run time errors? (Which will lead to non discoverable errors and faulty results)
What was the cause of the problem that gave me the errors? I was suspecting something related to compatibility with the newest version of MacOS but apparently that’s not it.

Thank you again!
Prabhat

I am not really an expert in the installation procedure. First of all I do not really understand why you did ./configure .... configure is not used anymore to install ROOT. I never used -Dgnuinstall=ON … I do not really know what it does. May be @bellenot can tell .

bellenot · April 2, 2024, 2:38pm

Don’t mix ./configure ...make and cmake ... make. Only use cmake... make. And I don’t know what -Dgnuinstall=ON does

The configure/make is not supported for current MacOS version … and most surpringly it was removed in v6.14/00 so if the command succeed it did not come from v6.30.xy
