Integrating ROOT with Cmake, undefined references

ROOT
1

Hi all,
I have been struggling a bit lately with trying to build applications using geant4 and ROOT in various institutional environments, and it’s made it evident that I don’t really know what’s happening under the hood of the build. I would appreciate any tips anyone has on where ROOT/CMake are finding various things when linking applications.
For example, right now I’m trying to build an application on a Fermilab virtual machine. Before starting, I setup cmake and my desired ROOT version:

source /grid/fermiapp/products/common/etc/setup export PRODUCTS=${PRODUCTS}:/grid/fermiapp/products/larsoft setup -f Linux64bit+2.6-2.12 -q debug:e9:nu root v6_04_06 setup cmake
Then I have a CMakeLists.txt that uses:

set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} /grid/fermiapp/products/larsoft/root/v6_04_06/source/root-6.04.06/etc/cmake) find_package(ROOT MODULE REQUIRED Cling TreePlayer) include(${ROOT_USE_FILE}) message(STATUS "Environmental ROOTSYS is $ENV{ROOTSYS}") message(STATUS "found root at: ${ROOT_USE_FILE}") message(STATUS "ROOT_LIBRARIES=${ROOT_LIBRARIES}") target_link_libraries(wchsandbox ${ROOT_LIBRARIES})

However, this ends up returning the following:

-- Environmental ROOTSYS is /grid/fermiapp/products/larsoft/root/v6_04_06/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e9-nu-debug -- found root at: /grid/fermiapp/products/larsoft/root/v6_04_06/source/root-6.04.06/etc/cmake/RootUseFile.cmake -- ROOT_LIBRARIES=/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libCore.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libCint.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libRIO.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libNet.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libHist.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libGraf.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libGraf3d.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libGpad.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libTree.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libRint.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libPostscript.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libMatrix.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libPhysics.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libMathCore.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libThread.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/larsoft/root/v6_04_06/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e9-nu-debug/lib/libCling.so;/grid/fermiapp/products/genie/externals/root/v5_34_25a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-nu-debug/lib/libTreePlayer.so
ROOTSYS - OK,
ROOT_USE_FILE - OK
ROOT_LIBRARIES - … somehow cmake has instead dug up an old Root 5.34 version from the depths of obscurity?! #-o
Everything I can find in FindROOT.cmake and RootUseFile.cmake reference ROOTSYS, which is correctly pointing to the v6 folder… where is it getting this? And more importantly, how do I make it use the ROOT version I’m specifying?

Thanks in advance again folks,
Marcus

GENIE is not a part of ROOT.
You need a version of GENIE which was compiled with your ROOT version, or remove all references to GENIE from your setup.

I’m aware genie isn’t part of ROOT. I’m not using genie. I don’t know why those paths were included.

Maybe your LArSoft setup contains GENIE?

The LArSoft products directory also contains some 20 different genie installs, but I don’t set any of them up. The LArSoft products directory is used for the Geant4 install. This is setup using the line:

setup geant4 v4_10_1_p02a -q e9:debug:qt

which is done before

setup -f Linux64bit+2.6-2.12 -q debug:e9:nu root v6_04_06

That was the only line I didn’t mention when describing my setup process, for brevity (perhaps a bad idea). The geant4 setup call defines the following ROOT environmental variables:

QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT=/usr/share/X11/xkb XERCESCROOT=/grid/fermiapp/products/larsoft/xerces_c/v3_1_2/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e9-debug
neither of which seem to point to anything regarding a ROOT 5.34 install.

Execute something like: set | grep -i genie # for bash or [t]csh export | grep -i genie # for bash setenv | grep -i genie # for [t]csh and then repeat these commands after every “source …” and “setup …” and you should be able to find the one that you need to fix.

These both return nothing after each step, and still nothing once all have been run.

I’m afraid you need to talk to people who maintain your “LArSoft” distribution and/or “/grid/fermiapp/products”.

OK, I’ll do that. Thanks for the support Pepe. :slight_smile:

Hi Marcus, If ROOT is built with CMake you should not be using the module FindROOT.cmake in $ROOTSYS/etc/cmake, instead you should be using the module ROOTConfig.cmake. Next major release of ROOT will have FindROOT.cmake removed from the installation. To locate ROOTConfig.cmake is sufficient to add in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH the installation of ROOT. BTW, this is automatic if you run $ROOTSYS/bin/thisroot.sh to set the ROOT environment. So, in conclusion you just need to remove the line

set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} /grid/fermiapp/products/larsoft/root/v6_04_06/source/root-6.04.06/etc/cmake)
