Error installing Root 6 on Mac OS Sierra with Xcode 8

[powamaker]

Hi everybody,
i’m trying to install Root 6.06/08 on Mac OS Sierra 10.12 with Xcode 8 and i followed the instructions:

git clone root.cern.ch/git/root.git
cd root
git checkout -b v6-06-08 v6-06-08
./configure macosx64
make

When i type make and i press return i get some lines of code and after a couple of minutes i get:

ld: library not found for -lCore
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [lib/libCore.dylib] Error 1

Does someone know how to solve this?

Thanks in advance

[ferhue]

Try using “cmake” instead of “configure” (obsolete):

cd .. mkdir root_build cd root_build cmake ../root/ make

root.cern.ch/building-root

[powamaker]

Thank you for the reply. I followed this instructions

git clone http://root.cern.ch/git/root.git cd root git tag -l git checkout -b v6-04-02 v6-04-02 cd .. mkdir root_build cd root_build cmake ../root/

And i got

It seems you have a too old version of gcc

Is it possible to upgrade to at least gcc 4.9?

[powamaker]

I’ve just found a guide to do that, i’ll try, thank you!

[powamaker]

Hi everybody,
i installed the latest version of gcc 4.7 and also the last version of gcc 4.9 (do i need a newer version?). When i type

i still get

The C compiler identification is unknown -- The CXX compiler identification is AppleClang 8.0.0.8000038 -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.7 -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.7 -- broken CMake Error at /opt/local/share/cmake-3.6/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:61 (message): The C compiler "/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.7" is not able to compile a simple test program.

So i think that Root does not know where the directory of my compiler is and it’s still using the old one. Does anybody know how to solve this?

Thank you in advance

[ferhue]

gcc 4.9 is fine. Anyway, you have to tell ROOT to use the 4.9 version.

Where did you install it? If you installed 4.9 in /usr/local/bin, try for example to type this before running cmake:

[code]unset CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

alias gcc=‘gcc-4.9’
alias cc=‘gcc-4.9’
alias g++=‘g+±4.9’
alias c++=‘c+±4.9’[/code]

And / or:

cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/bin/g++-4.9 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.9 -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=/usr/local/bin/gfortran-4.9 ../root

Check these here below, there are some extra options you may need to use:

ROOT 6 build from source error gcc 4.7.2

Thanks for your reply. After some work, I managed to install ROOT v6.07.03 in Debian wheezy. I post here my solution, in case someone wants to do the same. First, I built gcc-4.9 from source in a fixed location, /opt in my case: cd /opt/ unset LIBRARY_PATH CPATH C_INCLUDE_PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH INCLUDE #Check also with printenv, /usr/local/lib and so on... that you do not have any extra personal libraries intefering... wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.9.2/gcc-4.9.2.tar.…

[powamaker]

I read everything and i tried everything (gcc 4.9 was installed in /opt/local/bin), changing all the environment variables, but i’m still getting this

I really don’t know how to solve this

[ferhue]

Don’t worry, we are getting closer.

Now, it has identified that your C++ compiler is 4.9. Still, the C compiler is still 4.7. To solve this, instead of doing cmake …/root, enter the following:

cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/opt/local/bin/g++-4.9 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/opt/local/bin/gcc-4.9 -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=/opt/local/bin/gfortran-4.9 ../root

If it does not work, try to type this before:

unset LIBRARY_PATH CPATH C_INCLUDE_PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH INCLUDE
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib/ (or lib64? check it with the file browser)

[powamaker]

I typed

(adding -mp- for each compiler because of the MacPorts download) and this solved!!! So the first part (configure) has been completed and now i’m waiting for the make command to reach the end of the process.
Thank you so so so so so so so so so much!!!

[ferhue]

You are welcome

Note that if you have eg. 4 cores you can speedup the make process with

make -j4

[powamaker]

Thank you so much!!!

[powamaker]

I’m here again

After ~45 mins of processes i got this:

[ 48%] Built target Meta Scanning dependencies of target Unix [ 48%] Building CXX object core/unix/CMakeFiles/Unix.dir/src/TUnixSystem.cxx.o [ 48%] Built target Unix Scanning dependencies of target Macosx [ 48%] Building CXX object core/macosx/CMakeFiles/Macosx.dir/src/CocoaUtils.mm.o cc1objplus: error: argument to '-O' should be a non-negative integer, 'g', 's' or 'fast' make[2]: *** [core/macosx/CMakeFiles/Macosx.dir/src/CocoaUtils.mm.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [core/macosx/CMakeFiles/Macosx.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 [20:32:15 root_build ]>

Do you know how to solve this issue?

Thanks again

[ferhue]

I am not sure, but there is recent bug fix with Cocoa and Mac, see
root.cern.ch/gitweb/?p=root.git … 54beb7e56b

So, I would remove everything, do “git pull” again and try with the master branch (instead of checkout 6-06-08).

If it still fails, submit a bug report:
root.cern.ch/bugs

[powamaker]

I’ll try with this, thanks again!!

[powamaker]

I’m sorry, i don’t want to make errors

I erased everything and i typed

git clone http://root.cern.ch/git/root.git cd root git pull git tag -l

Now what i should do instead of

git checkout -b v6-04-02 v6-04-02 ?

[ferhue]

Don’t type anything after “git clone”. The default behaviour is to be on the master branch (the latest version). To check this, just do:

cd root
git status

And it should tell you that you are in the master branch.

In summary:

cd /opt/
git clone http://root.cern.ch/git/root.git root
mkdir root_build
cd root_build

unset LIBRARY_PATH CPATH C_INCLUDE_PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH INCLUDE
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or lib64?)

cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.9 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.9 -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=/opt/local/bin/gfortran-mp-4.9 ../root
make -j4

[powamaker]

Yes, you’re right, i got it:

[12:20:54 root ]> git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. nothing to commit, working directory clean [13:27:15 root ]>

I follow what you wrote and i tell you what i get

[powamaker]

It ended with

[ 28%] Built target Meta make: *** [all] Error 2

I think i must submit a bug report
But i have no permissions

Maybe Clang 3.9.0 is too old or maybe the issues come from the failed tests at the end

Could be a good idea to install Root with this?

 sudo port install root 

[ferhue]

Can you type “make” instead of “make -j4”? Maybe we can see then a clearer error message.

Clang version should be enough. Did you check this?
root.cern.ch/build-prerequisites

Maybe, it is related to this bug:

Fedora 21, 64bit, Root-6.02/05 Compilation Error

Hi Everyone, I am compiling Root-6.02/05 on Fedora 21 64-bit latest. I install all of the pre-requisites listed, run cmake with the default settings, and there are no errors in this process. CMake version is latest from fedora repository, 3.0.2 I generate the makefiles, go into my build directory and use ‘make -j4’, It gets until the end of compiling TCling that I encounter this error, [ 44%] Building CXX object core/meta/CMakeFiles/MetaLLVM.dir/src/TCling.cxx.o /home/anowack/.local/src/root…

And you can try to use a bash shell instead of fish shell?
