Problems with installation

Hi,

I’m trying to install ROOT from source (root_v4.04.02f.source.tar.gz) with VC++ 6.0

However i get a link error when i try to run the makefile.

This is what i get on Cygwin.

To build ROOT type:

make

Kevin@klu-9ua6an24qfe /cygdrive/c/root
$ make
build/win/ld.sh -nologo -incremental:no -nodefaultlib:libc.lib -nodefaultlib:d

Hi,
see e.g. this thread, near the bottom.
Axel.

Yeah just found that out before. Thanks!

But now another problem arises which i try to make

It complains that atoi and atof is not a member std.

Can this be a VC++ compiler issue??

Output from cygwin:

String.cxx
include\TString.h(408) : error C2039: ‘atoi’ : is not a member of 'std’
include\TString.h(411) : error C2039: ‘atof’ : is not a member of 'std’
make: *** [base/src/String.o] Error 2

Just found out why the errors occur after looking at
root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.ph … light=atoi

OK…now i’ve changed to installing ROOT under VC++ 7.1.

But make still seems to produce link errors.

Hi,
do a make distclean; make.
Axel.

Problem fixed…well not really because now nmake says that it can’t find
"makefile.msc"

Hi,

did you do a make -j2 or something? Could you check whether the file win32gdk/gdk/src/gdk/makefile.msc exists? If it doesn, just try “make” again.

Axel.

No, i didn’t do make -j2. All i did was just “make”.

Also win32gdk/gdk/src/gdk/makefile.msc doesn’t seem to exist.
Is that file suppose to be there before installation??

Hi,
I downloaded the source.tar.gz you stated, unpacked it, and ended up with that makefile.msc. So something must have gone wrong with unpacking your tar.gz. Just unpack it again.
Axel.
