Hi all,

Does anyone have experience of building root from source in toolbx container. I have encountered a problem while building it from source.

Hi,

We have never seen that issue with our ubuntu 24. Have you tried to install the development version of libjpeg on the system?

Best,
Danilo

@Danilo It is sufficient to configure it using (tested on a regular machine):
cmake -Dbuiltin_jpeg=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=...

Hi Danilo,

After you suggestion I installed libjpeg-dev and ROOT is now installed. But root-dependencies page never mentioned it.

Thanks for the help.

I am sorry to hear ROOT did not work out of the box for you.
Normally, that is not needed, and, as underlined above, the builtin libjpeg is enough.

Said that, ROOT is moving away from builtins and trying to rely even more on system packages. The next big step in this direction will be version 6.40.00, due next week.

Cheers,
Danilo

Quite the contrary,
Adding “-Dbuiltin_jpeg=ON” reproduces the bug reported in the original post here (on a standalone Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / x86_64 machine, and the ROOT 6.36.12 source code).
