Installation issue

Garfield++
1

Dear experts

I’m not sure this is an issue of ROOT or Garfield++, when I tried to install Garfield++ on server I got those errors:

[ 98%] Building CXX object Tests/CMakeFiles/RandomNumberGenerators.dir/RandomNumberGenerators.cpp.o

That’s not the only error (so many errors), I’m using ROOT v6.24.02, g++ v11.4.1, and the newest Garfield++ from GitLab. Any suggestions?

Maybe it’s more related to Garfield++ since I already have ROOT 6.24.02 installed on the server.

maybe @hschindl can give some hints

Dear @Crisps

On my macOS (11.7.10) I have ROOT 6.24/06 and g++ 13.0.0. When checking out today the latest version of garfield++, I had no problems with the compilation.
Kind regards
Piet

This looks like a C++ standard mismatch. Is it possible that the ROOT installation you are using was built using a different compiler/C++ standard than the compiler you are using for building Garfield++?

You are right, after I set c++ standard to the same as ROOT it worked.
