Install from source on macOS 11 arm64

[laurent.aphecetche]

Hi,

I’m trying to compile a (minimal) version of root (from git master) on an Apple M1 machine.

cmake ../root -Dminimal=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/tmp -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 -DCOCOA=ON -DCMAKE_GENERATOR=Ninja

and I get :

Did I misunderstood and Root is not yet “arm64-ready” or am I making a stupid mistake somewhere ?

Thanks,

Hi @laurent.aphecetche,
see e.g. this thread for ROOT on Apple M1: it is supported as of ROOT v6.22/06.

You don’t even have to compile it from source, you can install it e.g. via conda (it takes a few minutes with a good internet connection).

With that said, I am not sure what’s causing the compilation errors you see, it has to do with Mac Graphics, maybe @Axel or @couet have an idea.

Cheers,
Enrico

I just installed ROOT on a M1 machine using the basic procedure explained in the GitHub page. I had no problem.

Did you run xcode-select --install before starting the build?

When enabling cocoa, you also need to enable opengl.

The issue is now recorded at MacOS: -Dcocoa=ON -Dopengl=OFF pass cmake but fail compilation · Issue #7160 · root-project/root · GitHub
