I’m trying to install root for windows but i’m having some issues.
when I input “make -j4” it always stops at
[ 75%] Built target CLING

Does anybody know how to fix the problem?

Take the “head” of the v6-26-00-patches branch (and remember to delete your build directory).
Thank you very much, but i’m not very experienced in this: how do i recognize the head of the patches branch and what do i do with it? Also by “delete your build directory” you mean I have to delete the “build root folder” ? Sorry for the basic questions but i never do this kind of stuff
Try something like this:
rm -rf root_src root_build root_install
git clone --branch v6-26-00-patches --depth=1 https://github.com/root-project/root.git root_src
mkdir root_build
cd root_build
cmake -Dall="ON" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../root_install ../root_src
cmake --build . -- install -j4
It totally worked; thank you very much. One last question then it should be over: on the youtube tutorial i’m watching the guy uses the command:
. root-6.26.02-install/bin/thisroot.sh
but on my computer it says that there’s no such directory; where do i find the right directory?
source /full/path/to/your/root_install/bin/thisroot.sh
Nope, it still doesn’t work, the “thisroot.sh” file was put in config so the path is this:
C:\Users\barav\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\home\mario\root-6.26.02\config\thisroot.sh
also, do i have to change all the backslashes into normal slashes?
Looking at the first post, I guess it would be something like:
source /home/mario/.../root_install/bin/thisroot.sh
