Help with installing root from source on macos 10.5

ROOT
1

Hi,

I not able to install root version 5.22.00 from source on macos v 10.5.6

I have tried two ways one using default guess of the ./configure, which was maxos64. This gave me error of incompatibility with python.

However, when I have tried to configure it for non 64 bit version by giving ./configure command option macosx, “make” gave me the following error.

Could you please tell me what is the right way of installing root on my version of macos.

thank you,

Dmitry.

Use fink.

Hi,

you need to run make distclean after changing fundamental configuration options like e.g. the platform. Did you do that?

Cheers, Axel.

Hi,

you seem to have installed an newer version of Python (Apple default is 2.5) which does not have the x86-64 architecture. So now you have to build either Python 2.6 for x86-64, or ROOT for x86. The last you tried, but after the configure you forgot to do a “make distclean” to remove parts of the previous build.

Cheers, Fons.

Thank you :slight_smile: . I did not know about make distclean. It seems to be installing quite happily now, after I ran it.

Cheers,

Dmitry.

Hi
I seem to have a similar problem when installing on a macos X 10.5. after
./configure macosx
and make -j2 (or make which gives the same)

I get

cint/cint/src/dict/gcc4strm.h:30:20: error: iostrm.h: No such file or directory

… and lots of errors ending in:

Which version of ROOT do you try to build? Try the trunk, make sure full Xcode is installed and try again.

Cheers, Fons.

the ROOT version is from the newest PRO source
ftp://root.cern.ch/root/root_v5.22.00.source.tar.gz

I’m not sure I have the full xcode as I installed it from the macosx cd - I’ll try to find out.

I have the newest version of xcode now but still get:

cint/cint/src/dict/gcc4strm.cxx:4313: warning: ‘void G__setup_memfuncbasic_stringstreamlEcharcOchar_traitslEchargRcOallocatorlEchargRsPgR()’ defined but not used

Does your gcc4strm.cxx make line differ from this:

g++ -g -m64 -pipe -W -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -fsigned-char -fno-common -Iinclude   -DG__REGEXP -DG__UNIX -DG__SHAREDLIB -DG__ROOT -DG__REDIRECTIO -DG__OSFDLL -DG__STD_EXCEPTION -DG__HAVE_CONFIG -DG__NOMAKEINFO -DG__CINTBODY -Icint/cint/inc -Icint/cint/src -Icint/cint/src/dict -D_REENTRANT -pthread -Icint/cint/lib/gcc4strm -Wno-strict-aliasing -I. -o cint/cint/src/dict/gcc4strm.o -c cint/cint/src/dict/gcc4strm.cxx

What does make -v say. Should be:
