Dear Rooters,
I’m trying to use the package KinFitter available at this link : GitHub - goepfert/KinFitter: Kinematic Fits with non-linear Constraints.
The compilation works and I built a very basic macro to test the compilation.
#include "./KinFitter/TFitConstraintM.h"
#include "./KinFitter/TKinFitter.h"
#include "TLorentzVector.h"
#include <iostream>
void macro() {
std::cout << "Performing kinematic fit..." << std::endl;
std::cout << "Done." << std::endl;
}
When I run the macro with ROOT (version 6.08/06) I have this kind of error message :
In file included from KinFitter_Cint dictionary payload:9:

fatal error: too many errors emitted, stopping now [-ferror-limit=]
As you can see in this message, only some of the files provided in the package were compiled together (as I had a bigger error with all files I reduced their number in order to fix the bug).
Below please find what I unsdertood/saw :
- The files TFitConstraintEp.h, TFitConstraintM.h and TKinFitter.h depend on TAbsFitParticles.h and TAbsFitParticle.h.
- If I compile only TKinFitter.h with TAbsFitParticles.h and TAbsFitParticle.h : the macro run without complaining.
- If I add TFitConstraintM.h to the previous run : the macro run without complaining.
The problem comes when I add an other TFiConstraint file.
According the error message it seems that the error come from a conflict between the following lines but I am not sure :
class TFitConstraintM: public TAbsFitConstraint {…}
class TFitConstraintEp: public TAbsFitConstraint {…}
I don’t know how to fix this…
Thanks in advance 
Best,
M.
