FindROOT.cmake cannot locate root on Windows7

ROOT
1

Dear experts:

I installed geant4.9.5.p01 on both ubuntu and windows7 (using latest cmake and visual studio).
On ubuntu, FindROOT.cmake can locate root successfully, but on windows7 it cannnot.

I guess this is because root-config is not executable on windows7.

Who can provide a solution to this?

Thanks a lot.

Findroot.camke defines:

- Finds ROOT instalation

This module sets up ROOT information

It defines:

ROOT_FOUND If the ROOT is found

ROOT_INCLUDE_DIR PATH to the include directory

ROOT_LIBRARIES Most common libraries

ROOT_LIBRARY_DIR PATH to the library directory

On Linux, we can use root-config --libs to obtain the value of variable ${ROOT_LIBRARIES}, which is:

-lGpad -lHist -lGraf -lGraf3d -lTree -lRint -lPostscript -lMatrix -lPhysics -lMathCore -lRIO -lNet -lThread -lCore -lCint -pthread -lm -ldl –rdynamic

But, on windows, root-config cannot be executed, I don’t know the value of ${ROOT_LIBRARIES}. This is the key problem I’m meeting now.

Can anyone provide help?

Thanks a lot.

I solved this problem on Windows7 finally.

My method is:

Adding below lines in FindROOT.cmake files just after line 37.

#defined by fada, 2012-05-22
set(ROOTSYS D:/root)
set(ROOT_VERSION 5.30/00)
set(ROOT_INCLUDE_DIR ${ROOTSYS}/include)
set(ROOT_LIBRARY_DIR ${ROOTSYS}/lib)
set(ROOT_LIBRARIES -LIBPATH:${ROOT_LIBRARY_DIR} libGpad.lib libHist.lib libGraf.lib libGraf3d.lib libTree.lib libRint.lib libPostscript.lib libMatrix.lib libPhysics.lib libMathCore.lib libRIO.lib libNet.lib libThread.lib libCore.lib libCint.lib)

others settings in my project’s cmakelists.txt was guided by Dr. Ben Morgan.

Now, there are no linking errors anymore. root files can be produced after execution of my application.
