Hello experts,
Could I ask you to make a comment on this issue?
Thanks,
Saeid
When I execute the script “go” i get plenty of errors.
Can you try with ROOT v6?
Hi,
just in case someone needs to solve the same problem, HepMC3
http://hepmc.web.cern.ch/hepmc/
has a ConvertExample utility HepMC->ROOT in examples.

Hello experts,
I have produced a HepMC File (from MC Generator Herwig 7.2.2).
Now I want to convert it into a root file.
I have downloaded the hepmc.tar.gz file attached above by Brun. But when I did run ./go, I got the following error
In file included from /tmp/rootcint_CYxQNg.h:3:0,
from /tmp/MtXyZc_cint.cxx:1:

Someone could please help me in this. Thanking you in advance

You need to install the development package for HepMC, e.g.: sudo apt-get install libhepmc-dev
Thanks, Wile for the response, I have installed the development package by ( sudo apt-get install libhepmc-dev), But still having the issue. Now the error follows

Do I need to install any other packages?
It seems to me that the source code present in the hepmc.tar.gz archive (in this thread) is quite outdated (tested with an ancient HepMC 2.01).
There is a slightly “improved” version in the test.tar.gz archive (also in this thread), which may possibly work better with the “libhepmc-dev” package (which provides some old HepMC 2.06 version, I think).
However, I guess the best idea is to follow the advice given here:
Thanks Wile, But now I got this below error. Is this some c++ error or any kind of error in the macro provided here in the tar file?

Hi @Dibakar.cern ,
The HepMC 2 is not in active development since some years.
Please look at the installation instructions of HEPMC3 here
HepMC / HepMC3 · GitLab and select the installation procedure that fits your goal best.
The “conversion” code is located in the examples/ConvertExample directory.
The code compiles into utility that can be used to convert between different event formats, ROOT TTRee included.
Best regards,
Andrii

Thanks, Andrii,
I found the macro in the examples/ConvertExample directory. I have followed the readme-file provided in GitHub and the published paper from HepMC official site. I am a newbie and could not find any supporting documents for run the macro. Could you please give me any link for the documentation?
Regards,
Dibakar
Hi @Dibakar.cern ,
That is not a macro, but couple of C++ sources which one should compile to an executable using the provided cmake files.
The resulting executable (convert_example.exe) then do the job. The compilation process of examples is described in documentation in the Examples section.
The “documentation” of the executable can be seen with with convert_example.exe --help
BEst regards,
Andrii
