I am a newbie to ROOT and QtROOT. I follow the INSTALL_QTROOT.sh on WindowsXP using cygwin shell. But I still get below error messages that were identified as non QtROOT related problem. The author of QtROOT suggested that I might not have the complete set of packages on cygwin installed. Would you please help me and point out what cygwin packages are needed for ROOT installation from source? If below messages indicate otherwise, please advise me a solution. Thank you very much.
Your root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7091 indicates there is some Visual C++ compiler / Cywgin installation issue on your machine. Let’s resolve that first and then come back to QtRoot installation.
Our main windows expert is currently in vacation .
Your problem is “hard” in the sense that we can not reproduce it …
Philippe.[/quote]If I understand properly his question was,"What is the minimum set of Cygwin packages one needs to install to compile the ROOT?". I can install ROOT with my Cygwin. However my collection of the Cygwin packages is not minimal. I did send him my list.
My other post has been idle for a couple of days. Is Root Talk really active? Or just my problem too simple? Thanks for your help.[/quote]Did you remove /usr/bin/link.exe?
Hi Valeri,
I used TortoiseCVS frontend to update the qtgui\src directory. And INSTALL_QTROOT.sh finished w/o a hitch.
After run the set_environment.sh and set_environment.cmd.bat in both cygwin and DOS cmd, I launched root. The welcome screen suggests some demos programs to run. Here are the error messages.
I checked the set_envrionment and make sure it is using the correct directory.
Do I need to repeat the installation from a clean start? Thank you very much.

[/quote]Did you start from cygwin prompt or from CMD prompt?
Anyway, can you try:
[code] - STAR Windows Command Prompt - cmd
invoke the Windows version from the command file, i.e. set_environment.cmd
Pay your attention, there is no “set_environment.cmd.bat” file at all
Start ROOT from that commnad prompt.
Create the TCanvas *c = new TCanvas
Tell me the outcome.[/code][quote=“xunlei”]Do I need to repeat the installation from a clean start? [/quote]It may be useful thing to do anyway; there were too many missteps. However, first thing to do is to try what I suggested above.
Hi Valeri,
Here it is. Thanks a lot. And “root” crashed by popping up a error message box saying:
…

I am surpised you had to install Tortoise CVS .
The script in question requires your local cygwin installation to be in possession of “cvs utility”. You had said your installation has no CVS. This way the script could not have completed its job properly.
Hi Valeri,
Here is the error message I got. I am also sending this to qtRoot list. Thank you for your help.
Best,
xunlei

I think we should repeat the installation.
It sounds you are the first guy installing ROOT with Visual C++ v.9.0 and SDK 6.1
Therefore, your experience and time are extremely valuable
However, I realized the process sometimes cannot be completed in one pass due lack (I am guessing) of the resource on the Windows machine. The script works well with 2Gb RAM
What essentially that message lists.bnl.gov/pipermail/qt-root … 00302.html said, the user was not able to build the 64-bits ROOT version on his Win64 machine and had to make the 32-bit instead.
