Problems installing 3.10.01 on WIndows with VC++6

ROOT

Hi all,
I’m experiencing troubles installing ROOT 3.10.01 from source on WIndows with VC++6 and cygwin.
After ./configure and make it stops after a while saying:

bin/bindexplib libWin32gdk win32gdk/src/G__Win32gdk.o > lib/libWin32gdk.def

If I type:

./win32/inc/TGWin32Brush.h
./win32/inc/TGWin32Marker.h

./include/TGWin32Command.h
./include/TGWin32.h
./include/TGWin32Proxy.h
./include/TGWin32ProxyBase.h
./include/TGWin32ProxyDefs.h

It seems that TGWin32*o objects are not yet been compiled, so that the linker complains for undefined references…

Am i doing something wrong?
Thank you

Could you do
make distclean
./configure win32gdk
make -k

and send me the complete ouput of configure and make -k

Hi Rene,
by the way I was installing root in $HOME/root and not in /usr/local/root . My commands were (bash shell):

export ROOTSYS=$HOME/root
./configure win32gdk --prefix=$(pwd)
(maybe --prefix needs a windows-like path?)

If I move everything in /usr/local/root and type

make distclean
export ROOTSYS=/usr/local/root
./configure
make

it works… I will look into the problem as soon as possible.
Thanks
Luigi

Hi luigi,
try
export ROOTSYS=c:\cygwin\home\luigi\root
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS\lib

HTH. Regards. Valeriy

Hi Rene and Valeriy,
I have tried export ROOTSYS=C:\cygwin\home\luigi\root but nothing changes :frowning:
I have sent to Rene the output of make -k &> logfile

Best regards
Luigi
