How to compile ROOT on Snow Leopard for 32 bit

ROOT
1

Dear ROOTers

On my MacBook Pro I have installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and the new Xcode 3.2.2 from Apple.

Then I have compiled root_v5.24/00 for 32 bit using:

./configure macosx

However, for some reason the effect is the same as using “macosx64”, i.e. root is compiled for 64 bit, see:

MacBookPro:~ rabbitus$ file /Volumes/CoreData/ROOT/root/lib/libCore.so 
/Volumes/CoreData/ROOT/root/lib/libCore.so: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64

To force compilation for 32 bit I used the following configuration:

./configure macosx --with-cxx="/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch i386" --with-f77="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch i386"

However trying to compile root resulted in the following error:

What do I need to do to compile ROOT for 32 bit on Snow Leopard?

Hi,

version v5-24.00 does not support “cross” compiling, i.e. compiling 32 bit version on a 64 machine. Please take v5-26-00 which supports cross compiling.

Cheers, Fons.

Dear Fons,

Thank you for this information, however I need to use root_v5.27/02 since the patched version root_v5.26/00c is not yet available.

Best regards

V5-27-02 is of course also fine. Version v5-24-00 is kind of orphaned so don’t use it.

Cheers, Fons.
