Concerns: gClient is zero in guitest.C on Windows2000

Dear root team,

when I run guitest.C from the folder tutorials I get after
the statement
TApplication theApp(“App”,…)
gClient == 0, that means I cannot run gClient->GetRoot()

When I type after starting root:
root[0] gClient
I get Symbol gClient is not defined in current scope
(under Window 2000 cygwin) and an address if I run unter Linux.

I am using Windows 2000. I have installed cygwin (Last dll release
1.5.5-1). From CERN I copied on November 25th the binary files
Version 3.05.04.

.x demos.C is running fine.

Do you have any idea?

With best wishes

Dieter Notz

Hi Dieter,
you need to use win32gdk version of ROOT.
Try the latest (3.10.02) one .

Or “pure” cygwin version compiled with gcc against of X11 library

(or Qt version from root.bnl.gov , that should be completed yet :frowning:)
