Macos can't cmake

[qq_pp]

---

When I use my MacBook to cmake, it display "Unknown CMake command “ROOT_GENERATE_DICTIONARY”!
But I can use the ROOT in my MacBook, how can I fix it?
Macos version is 12.4. ROOT version is 6.18
cmake version is 3.12.4

Please read tips for efficient and successful posting and posting code

ROOT Version: Not Provided
Platform: Not Provided
Compiler: Not Provided

Hi @qq_pp ,

there seems to be a problem with the cmake code you are using. The ROOT_GENERATE_DICTIONARY command should be brought in by a find_package(ROOT REQUIRED) plus probably also include(${ROOT_USE_FILE}), see Integrating ROOT into CMake projects - ROOT .

Cheers,
Enrico

I have update cmake file with “include(${ROOT_USE_FILE})”,
but still display "install TARGETS given no ARCHIVE DESTINATION for static library target
“SO_kolev”.

The following is my cmake file:
project(kolev)

Set the minimum required version of cmake for a project

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0 FATAL_ERROR)

Locate the ROOT package and define a number of useful targets and variables (need RIO Net?)

find_package(ROOT REQUIRED COMPONENTS)

message(STATUS “Found ROOT libraries:”)

message(STATUS “${ROOT_LIBRARIES}”)

include(${ROOT_USE_FILE})

Compose list of ROOT libraries with “ROOT::” prefix

set(LIB_NAMES “”)
FOREACH(X IN LISTS ROOT_LIBRARIES)
get_filename_component(FILENAME {X} NAME) string(REGEX REPLACE "lib([a-zA-Z0-9]+).so" "ROOT::\\1" FILENAME2 {FILENAME})
list(APPEND LIB_NAMES “${FILENAME2}”)
ENDFOREACH()

Manually append extra ROOT libraries (why missing?)

list(APPEND LIB_NAMES “ROOT::Gui”)
list(APPEND LIB_NAMES “ROOT::RooFit”)
list(APPEND LIB_NAMES “ROOT::RooFitCore”)
list(APPEND LIB_NAMES “ROOT::Html”)
list(APPEND LIB_NAMES “ROOT::Minuit”)
list(APPEND LIB_NAMES “ROOT::Fumili”)

message(STATUS “Modified ROOT libraries:”)

message(STATUS “${LIB_NAMES}”)

Build list of header files and exclude LinkDef from headers

file(GLOB_RECURSE HEADERS {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/*.hxx {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/.hpp {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/*.hh {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/.h)
list(FILTER HEADERS EXCLUDE REGEX “[lL]ink[dD]ef”)

message(STATUS “Found list of headers:”)

message(STATUS “${HEADERS}”)

Find LinkDef.h file

file(GLOB_RECURSE LINKDEFH {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/*.hxx {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/.hpp {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/*.hh {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/.h)
list(FILTER LINKDEFH INCLUDE REGEX “[lL]ink[dD]ef”)

message(STATUS “Found LinkDef file: ${LINKDEFH}”)

Generate dictionary

ROOT_GENERATE_DICTIONARY(D_{PROJECT_NAME} {HEADERS} LINKDEF ${LINKDEFH})

Build list of source files

file(GLOB_RECURSE SOURCES {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/*.cxx {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/.cpp {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/*.cc {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/.c)

message(STATUS “Found list of sources:”)

message(STATUS “${SOURCES}”)

Create shared library with a generated dictionary.

add_library(SO_{PROJECT_NAME} {SOURCES} D_${PROJECT_NAME}.cxx)

Link against shared library and list of ROOT libraries

target_link_libraries(SO_{PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC {LIB_NAMES})

Find location of the enrty point file (main.c*)

file(GLOB_RECURSE MAIN {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/*.cxx {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/.cpp {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/*.cc {CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/.c)
list(FILTER MAIN INCLUDE REGEX “main\.c”)

message(STATUS “Found entry point file: ${MAIN}”)

Create the main program using the library.

add_executable({PROJECT_NAME} {MAIN})
target_link_libraries({PROJECT_NAME} SO_{PROJECT_NAME})

Compose the install target

install(TARGETS {PROJECT_NAME} SO_{PROJECT_NAME}
RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
LIBRARY DESTINATION {ROOTSYS}/lib) install(FILES {PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/libD_${PROJECT_NAME}.rootmap
DESTINATION ENV{ROOTSYS}/lib) install(FILES {PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/libD_${PROJECT_NAME}_rdict.pcm
DESTINATION /usr/local/bin)

Hi,

please check Posting code? Read this first! for tips on code formatting.

That latest error message is not directly related to ROOT, it’s a problem with the cmake code. I am not a macOS expert but it looks like you need to provide an “ARCHIVE DESTINATION” for target “SO_kolev”.

Other forums such as stackoverflow might be a better help with cmake issues.
