ROOT 5.34.34 cygwin installation problem

ROOT
1

I use windows7 64bit & cygwin64.

I use commands

tar zxf root_v5.34.34.source.tar.gz
export ROOTSYS=$PWD
./configure win32gcc
make

In the middle of compilation I face this error

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/5.3.0/…/…/…/…/x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypt
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:864: recipe for target ‘lib/libCore.dll’ failed
make: *** [lib/libCore.dll] Error 1

Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?

Hi,

FYI, we don’t support cygwin, but you can try to install package libcrypt-devel :wink:

Hi dear Bellenot

Thanks for reply. I tried installing the package you said, but I again faced the same error.

Hi,

Well, that’s unfortunate. And as I said, we don’t support Cygwin (I don’t even have a Cygwin installed anywhere). So you should try Google…
And BTW, why Cygwin? Why not a native build?

Cheers, Bertrand.

Hi dear Bellenot

Again thanks for your reply. I have many programs running on windows, so that I thought cygwin may help me have both windows softwares & Linux softwares.

Just as a guess, is it possible that the file already exists but it cannot be found? If so, can I set configure parameters or environment variables so that it can be found ? I don’t know how to set configure command for this purpose.

Hi again

Sorry I made a mistake in installing that package you said. I installed it properly and that error has gone in compilation. Thanks for your reply. But I again faced a new error.

Hi,

Try with --disable-reflex
as an argument configure.

Cheers,

Hi dear pcanal

Thanks a million for your help. I disables reflex as you said & a new error appeared. so I disabled opengl too (i hope this doesn’t affect 2D graphs). now I got a new error. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

Hi,

As I said, Cygwin is not supported. May I advise to use a Windows native version of ROOT? You can choose between using a prebuilt version or building from source with CMake.

Cheers, Bertrand.
