PyROOT

ROOT

Hello, on the PyROOT web page, in the secion “Building and installing PyROOT” there is a link to root.cern.ch/installing-root-source if one clicks on “installation instructions”. This is actually a dead link.

More over, should this page be updated in order to take into account the “cmake installation”. I mean it is now written

[quote]./configure --enable-python [–with-python-incdir=] [–with-python-libdir=]
gmake[/quote]
I think a word should be written about cmake here.

Hi,

you stumbled on an outdated page: thanks for signalling it!
I updated it and added and redirected root.cern.ch/building-root : the latter change will be effective in a few minutes.

In short, all what is needed is to use CMake: PyROOT is active by default. As every other package though, development files (headers) will be needed, more specifically Python.h . You should make sure they are available on your system.

Cheers,
Danilo
