Problem building ROOT from source on mac os 10.15 (Catalina)

[walshj]

---

Please read tips for efficient and successful posting and posting code

ROOT Version: V6-19-01
Platform: mac os 10.15 (Catalina)
Compiler: clang-1100.0.33.16

I followed the recipe given in this thread:

ROOT Compilation failed with Mac OS Catalina

___I get a compilation error below, CMake Error at /Users/sara/work/root-6.18.04/obj/builtins/davix/DAVIX-prefix/src/DAVIX-stamp/DAVIX-build-RelWithDebInfo.cmake:49 (message): Command failed: 2 '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make' See also /Users/sara/work/root-6.18.04/obj/builtins/davix/DAVIX-prefix/src/DAVIX-stamp/DAVIX-build-*.log make[2]: *** [builtins/davix/DAVIX-prefix/src/DAVIX-stamp/DAVIX-build] Error 1 make[1]: *** [builtins/davix/CMakeFiles/DAVIX.dir/all] …

namely, after checking out the latest root version (6.19.01), I execute:

cmake -Dmacos_native=ON …/root

This produces a large number of errors in the file ./CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log. Here are the first couple:

I'd appreciate any help you can give.

Welcome back!

That error log isn’t useful - it’s CMake internal stuff and not actual errors. Could you post what the actual error message is that triggered you to think that the build fails?

Axel.

[Axel]

Did you run xcode-select --install at a prompt?

[walshj]

I thought I did. This installs command line tools, yes?

[Axel]

I think so… It won’t hurt if you try again.

[walshj]

@Axel

xcode-select --install

I did this, again as it turn out, since macos told me it that command line tools were already installed.

I tried building again and, of course, it failed in the same way.

Any ideas? Thanks.

[pcanal]

It sounds like XCode was upgraded since the last time build ROOT. If that is the case, the simplest is to delete the build directory entirely and rebuild from scratch.

[walshj]

Thanks for the suggestion. I did a fresh build and it failed in the same way. I include below everything I did (since I’m not an expert and may be making some stupid error):

@walshj

warning: no such sysroot directory: ‘/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk’

Is anything in your evironment point to this missing directory (i.e set | grep '10.14'; setenv | grep '10.14'). We don’t hard code this path in our source, so something on your machine is ‘tricking’ cmake and/or clang in wanting to use it.

[walshj]

Thanks for the suggestion. "set | grep ‘10.14’ " did not return anything, but your suggestion reminded me that I execute “thisroot.sh” for an older version of root in my .bash_profile. Removing this and then rebuilding works: I was able to build everything.

Thanks for the help.
