Problem compiling root WSL 1 Ubuntu 22.04


Please read tips for efficient and successful posting and posting code

_ROOT Version:6.26/02
Platform: WSL1 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Compiler: gcc


Dear Root community,

I am trying to compile the last stable version from git of ROOT 6.26/02 on WSL 1 with Ubuntu 22.04.

I got it with the command

git clone --branch latest-stable --depth=1 https://github.com/root-project/root.git root_src

My cmake is

cmake  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../root_install_linux/ -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 -Dqt5web=ON -Dwebgui=ON -Droot7=ON ../root_src/

I tried to compile with 8 cpu:

cmake --build . --target install -j8

I get an error like this one without any further information:

[ 58%] Copying /mnt/d/Libraries/ROOT/root_src/ui5/fitpanel/view/FitPanel.view.xml

[ 58%] Completed 'XROOTD'
[ 58%] Built target XROOTD
make: *** [Makefile:156: all] Error 2

If I compile in single thread, it goes further but I get the following problem:

Any idea of what is happening?
Thanks in advance.

Compiling on WSL2 instead of WSL1 worked but I find it strange…

Hello,

@bellenot might have an idea of what the problem can be?

No idea, but since it works with WS2 works, I suppose it’s all good now

Hello,
I am getting the same error with ubuntu 22.04 as real OS and VM.

Try

(there may have been a missing dependency in the CMakeFiles)
