GetSharedLibs fails in 5.30.04?

ROOT

Hi,
I’ve noticed what looks to me like a funny behavior in 5.30.04 and above (in the 5.30 series, 5.32 is back to the old way). Here is what I see:

[code] *******************************************

  •                                     *

Note that it has no shared libraries… I find this “odd”… In 5.30.01, however (as with others) I see this:

[code] *******************************************

  •                                     *

Is this a bug, or is this a design change that is happening in ROOT?

Many thanks! Gordon.

Hi Gordon,

It works for me on lxplus:

[code][lxplus254] ~ $ root

“win32” versus “linuxx8664gcc”?

“Release” versus “Debug” version (which binaries exactly)? :mrgreen:
MS VC version specific (which MS VC version)? :mrgreen:
Gordon, why don’t you move to Linux in the first place? :wink:

Hi,
Weird. THis is win32, VC10, and W7. Not debug version. I’ve tested this on two different machines… I tested it by using the raw installer (the msi).

This isn’t crucial for stuff I’m doing - it does break my wrapper creation stuff. But only for that series. By the time 5.32 rolls around everything is back to normal. So, I can ignore this.

I should move to Linux, eh? :wink: If I could get it to do what I want… if I could get it to do what I want… :wink:

Cheers, Gordon.
