Installing Root using Linux Subsystem on Windows: “error: no member named 'fgetws' in the global namespace”

ROOT

I am trying to install ROOT (6.10.08) on a Linux Subsystem on Windows (Ubuntu 16.04), as described here. When I try to build root (cmake --build .), 69% through the build, I run into the following problem:

[ 69%] Generating G__ODBC.cxx, …/…/lib/libRODBC_rdict.pcm, …/…/lib/libRODBC.rootmap

*** Break *** segmentation violation

I’m a beginner and am following the steps as closely as I can. I was wondering if anyone could offer advice as to the errors I am running into, and potential fixes.

Thanks!

Hi,

Are you using the Linux sub-system or MingW on Windows? It looks like you’re mixing both and I’m not sure this will work…

Cheers, Bertrand.

3

I’m using a Linux subsystem

4

Then why do you get this error?

5

I wish I had good answer for you. I launched “Bash on Ubuntu on Windows,” use sudo to install the necessary prereqs for Ubuntu, then followed the steps under Quick Start by downloading the source file, and when I try to build it, that’s the error I’m running into.

6

So it looks like there is a mix of Linux include path and MingW, making gcc picking some wrong include files…

7

Do you have any advice as to how to go about fixing this issue?

8

Try to remove /mnt/c/MinGW/include from your include PATH. I’ll check on my own Windows 10 Linux sub-system if I can give more information…

9

@Jane_Tran can you provide the results of a printenv command? This might make it easier for us to see if there is an issue with the paths.

Here’s the output of printenv:
