Hi @11121,
welcome to the ROOT forum!

From this message:

CMake Error at cmake/modules/SearchInstalledSoftware.cmake:318 (message):
  libXpm and Xpm headers must be installed.

I would say you are missing some dependencies. You can check the list of packages that ROOT expects to be installed on your system here.

The CMakeError.log, instead, does not seem to be related to a ROOT build. (EDIT: but I guess the problem is that the build system is not passing the -pthread option to the compiler/linker)

Note that unless you have particular needs you do not have to compile ROOT yourself but can instead download one of our pre-compiled binaries under “binary distributions” here, or install ROOT via conda, or you can source it from CVMFS.

Cheers,
Enrico

This compiler cannot build ROOT, you need at least a compiler with support for C++11. You also need to install the dependencies as Enrico pointed out.
