Error while compiling root 5.28 on mac os x

ROOT
1

Dear All,

I downloaded the sources root version 5.28.
I try to compile it for my mac os x 10.5.8
with gcc version 4.0.1 (my arch is a i386 so I guess 32 bit version).
Here the configure I have done:

./configure macosx --enable-qt --with-qt-incdir=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.6.0//include --with-qt-libdir=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.6.0/lib

Then I try to make and every think looks like ok except at (I suppose to be) the link phase:

make: *** [lib/libCint.so] Error 1

Moreover, something strange for me is when I type make clean I’ve got this echo:

…
make clean ARCH=x86_64_macosx --no-print-directory
Make clean done.
…

The ARCH seems to be x86_64 even if I say during the configure phase macosx (32 bit version isn’t it ?) #-o

Do you know what is going wrong ?

By advance thank you

Hi Olivier,

Do you still have the problem with v5.29/02?

Philippe.

Hi Philippe,

where can I get this version v5.29/02 ? I will try with RC, version 5.30/00-rc2 hope is ok too ?
thank you
cheers

PS :
I just seen your message, I don’t received any email when someone post an answer …
Where can I change this in my User Control Panel . :unamused:

I try with 5.30/00-rc2.
I think the problem is coming from the configure file and more precisely in the 64 or 32 bits detection
line 1105
if [ “$arch” = “macosx” ]; then
if [ sw_vers | sed -n 's/ProductVersion://p' | cut -d . -f 2 -ge 5 ]; then
if sysctl machdep.cpu.extfeatures | grep "64" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
arch=macosx64
fi
fi
fi
I don’t think this detection of the arch is correct so I commented those lines to force the make to be on a 32 bits machine (root is still compiling).
Why not using simply this bash variable : $HOSTTYPE ?
cheers
Olivier

ok I have successfully compiled root version 5.30/00-rc2.
The problem is in the configure file and the detection of
the arch (64 or 32 bits) type for mac os x system
Thank you
