Problem in root installation due to AfterImage

ROOT
1

Hello,
I am trying to install root v6.32.10 on my Mac from the source. Here are the cmake flags:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/arkasantra/Root6_Install -DPython3_EXECUTABLE=python3 -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=20 -Dbuiltin_nlohmannjson=ON -Dhttp=ON -Droot7=ON -Dbuiltin_xrootd=ON -Dxrootd=ON -Dbuiltin_glew=ON /Users/arkasantra/root-6.32.10

The configuration output is the following:

When I am building the directory, I am getting this error:

CMake Error at /Users/arkasantra/Root6_Build/AFTERIMAGE-prefix/src/AFTERIMAGE-stamp/AFTERIMAGE-build-Release.cmake:49 (message):
  Command failed: 2

   '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make'

make[2]: *** [AFTERIMAGE-prefix/src/AFTERIMAGE-stamp/AFTERIMAGE-build] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/AFTERIMAGE.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

The contents of the AfterImage log file is :

make[3]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add `+' to parent make rule.
In file included from libpng/png.c:14:
libpng/pngpriv.h:524:16: fatal error: 'fp.h' file not found

      |                ^~~~~~
1 error generated.
make[3]: *** [libpng/png.o] Error 1

I checked the problem here: Root6 compilation fails with AfterImage installation problem

but seems this did not help me.

May I know what a potential solution should be?

Thank you,
Arka

Please fill also the fields below. Note that root -b -q will tell you this info, and starting from 6.28/06 upwards, you can call .forum bug from the ROOT prompt to pre-populate a topic.

_ROOT Version:6.32.10
_Platform: MacOSX_15.4 (Intel x86_64)
_Compiler:AppleClang 17.0.0.17000013 (Xcode 16.3)

Hi @arkasantra,

Thanks for your question.

I am looking at this issue and will get back to you shortly.

Cheers,
Dev

May be -Dbuiltin_afterimage=ON could help ?

I guess, here problem with builtin_libpng. Not sure that #include <fp.h> means.

One could try to install libpng-devel package and use for ROOT compilation?
If I remember correctly, ROOT uses external libpng when all necessary include files found by cmake.

I tried with this installation flag, but I am getting the same error while installing.

Try to install developer package for libpng

Hello,

I got excatly same message when tried to build AFTERIMAGE during the installation of ROOT (version 6.34.06, same as 6.32.10) after update to MacOSX_15.4 (M2).
Compiler was also AppleClang 17.0.0 (Xcode updated).

CMake Error at /Users/cyj6602/Packages/root_build_v6_34/AFTERIMAGE-prefix/src/AFTERIMAGE-stamp/AFTERIMAGE-build-Release.cmake:49 (message):
Command failed: 2

‘/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make’

make[2]: *** [AFTERIMAGE-prefix/src/AFTERIMAGE-stamp/AFTERIMAGE-build] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/AFTERIMAGE.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

The content of the log file was same. “fp.h” not found.

It looks like the libpng should not include “fp.h” header file after version 1.6.45.
The installed one in my PC is version 1.6.47 and the cmake also found it during the generation of makefile.

“Found PNG: /opt/homebrew/lib/libpng.dylib (1.6.47)”

But when I checked the /Users/cyj6602/Packages/root_build_v6_34/AFTERIMAGE-prefix/src/AFTERIMAGE/libpng/png.h file which was made during the build, it looks like the builder try to use libpng version 1.6.40, not the 1.6.47.

Can I know what should I do? Does it related to the cmake problem?

Thank you,
Youngju

On the web I found that this issue is fixed in libpng version1.6.45

The problem is that for whatever reason, ROOT forces the buildin libpng only on macOS.

I have changed this behavior for ROOT master in the upcoming 6.36 release:

I’ll backport this to 6.34 and 6.32. Then, in the next patch releases, ROOT will pickup the system libpng and compile just fine.
