Hi All,
I’m getting the error while trying to build from source on my Mac OS Catalina,

CMake Error at cmake/modules/SearchInstalledSoftware.cmake:571 (message):
  Please enable builtin Glew due bug in latest CMake (use cmake option
  -Dbuiltin_glew=ON).
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:219 (include)

Hi @Rutik ,
I think we need @couet or @Axel 's help for the specific build error, but note that unless you need very specific options you don’t need to build ROOT from sources: you can use homebrew, macports or conda instead, see Installing ROOT - ROOT .

Cheers,
Enrico

Oh I see this is a duplicate of Installing ROOT-GLEW Error , closing then – the discussion can continue there.
