KERNEL32.DLL fatal error while using ROOT 6 & Windows10

ROOT
1

Hi All,

I am currently facing a problem when compiling code with ROOT 6.18/00 (debug binary). Every time I try to compile a macro or a set of libraries, I get the following error:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNEL32.DLL : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x2E0
Error in <ACLiC>: Compilation failed!

I compile using a x86 Native Tools Command Prompt through the command .L macro.cpp++
I get the same error if I compile from Visual Studio directly or calling the VCVARSALL.BAT from a normal cmd prompt.

Just to be sure I built again root in my PC (using cmake) and also in this case I get the same error.
My Visual Studio configuration is the following:

  • MSVC v142 - VS2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools
  • Windows 10 SDK (10.0.18362.0)
  • Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17134.0)
  • Just-In-Time debugger
  • C++ profiling tools
  • C++ ATL for v142 build tools (x86 & x64)
  • Test Adapter for Boost.Test
  • Test Adapter for Google Test
  • IntelliCode
  • C++ Clang tools for Windows (8.0.0 - x64/x86)

Searching in the forum I have found other two posts with similar error:

I would be so grateful for any help! :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot,
Matteo

Hi Matteo,

I have seen this error a couple of times. I’ll try to reproduce it and fix it asap.

Cheers, Bertrand.

Hi Bertrand,

Note that you can compile your code normally, with the regular cl.exe (from a x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019)
