I''m trying to find my steps with ROOT. I've been trying to make a Class with no results. Look what I have done till now:

The next I do is this:

ROOT_prompt_16:1:1: error: reference to overloaded function could not be resolved; did you mean to call it?

Please I need some guidance… explain me how to make it run simple! Feel free even to email me I’m a 3 days old phd candidate and I already feel lost. Thanks in advance.

Hi Sophocles,

Thanks for the post and welcome to the ROOT community!
No panic. I have three questions which can help move forward:

  • Is your local root installation working fine besides this problem?
  • Can you try to invoke MakeClass on your tree on a machine where a ROOT installation which is working well can be found? For example a development portal at the institute or lxplus at CERN.
  • Can you share your file with us?

Cheers,
Danilo

Good morning! So far root is working fine. I made a link where you can download the file(WeTransfer) called “analysis_1.root” cause it’s more than 3MB. Thanks for the help!!!

Sophocles, I cannot download anything: can you confirm the url?

Cheers,
D

Because of std::data using data as a variable name is no longer supported on the prompt.
So to retrieve the TTree named data use:

auto datatree = f->Get<TTree>("data");

Cheers,
Philippe.

That was actually very helpfull! data is inside “mainNtuplizer” so I had to add the folder but you really helped me a lot! Thank you.
