libHistFactory missing in root 6.12.04 built on Ubuntu 17.10

[pleskot]

Dear experts,

I am missing libHistFactory and all the HistFactory header files in my root 6.12.04 installation that I built on my laptop with Ubuntu 17.10.
Here are the steps I did:

1. mkdir build; cd build; mkdir /home/pleskot/programs/root-6.12.04-minuit_hack/

2. cmake …/root-6.12.04/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/pleskot/programs/root-6.12.04-minuit_hack/

3. cmake --build . – -j4

4. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/pleskot/programs/root-6.12.04-minuit_hack/ -P cmake_install.cmake

   I will appreciate if you could help me ASAP. Thank you very much in advance.
   Best regards

Try to configure your version using cmake -Dall=ON ... (check the output of root-config --features and see if you have “roofit” inside).

Dear Wile,

thank you for your answer. roofit is among the features, indeed. However, the libHistFactory library doesn't exist in lib/ and RooStats/HistFactory doesn't exist in include/. Have you got an idea how to get HistFactory, please?
Best regards

Check the output of root-config --features and see if you have “xml” inside (it seems it is required for “histfactory”).

[pleskot]

Dear Wile,

thank you very much for your prompt replies. Indeed, xml is not listed in root-config --features.
Shall I just install libxml2-dev or what shall I do?
Best regards

I think yes. Then you need to configure and build your ROOT completely from scratch again.

[pleskot]

One more question, please. If I don’t want to install all the builtins (-Dall=ON) what everything shall I install in order to have roofit, roostats and histfactory?

cmake -Dminimal=ON -Dxml=ON -Droofit=ON …
