Error while building root from source code

ROOT
1

Hello guys, i’m having problems installing and compiling root on Ubuntu.
I have downloaded from git repository with this

$ git clone --branch v6-22-00-patches https://github.com/root-project/root.git root_src

after this i made two directory (buildDIR and INSTALL) and in the build directory i run

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=buildDIR ../

everything seems to work, but when i try to compile with

$ cmake --build . -- -j3

I’m having this error, anyone have a solution for this? thank you for the support!

Welcome to the ROOT Forum!
Maybe @oshadura can have an idea, but in the meanwhile, did you try to search the forum to see if there was a similar issue? For example, maybe this one could help: Unable to compile XROOTD

Could you please check logs here: /home/commodo98/programmi/root_src/buildDIR/XROOTD-prefix/src/XROOTD-stamp/XROOTD-build-*.log ?

I have read the discussion but no solution has emerged.
I tried to check here
/home/commodo98/programmi/root_src/buildDIR/XROOTD-prefix/src/XROOTD-stamp/XROOTD-build-*.log
but i don’t find build-*.log directory

I found a txt named XROOTD-build-err.log, i post what i found inside

Maybe you need to destroy your build directory and start completely from scratch again.

mmm, yes it could be, i try

I’ve had a similar issue in several computers and always ended up disabling xrootd and cxxmodules when configuring with cmake.

What I do not understand is, if the issue was that ‘uuid-dev’ was missing, why doesn’t it complain about it in the ‘configure’ step?

11

I also get the uuid_unparse error after installing uuid-dev.

It looks exactly like this one:

It seems that after rebuilding, the configure command is not ‘updated’ and it misses adding -luuid to the g++ make command.

For me, just deleting the folder XROOTD-Prefix solved it, I didn’t need to recompile whole ROOT again.

I think you simply destroyed xroodt-prefix
