ROOT 6.10/08 on macOS High Sierra compiling macro example

Good point. I only tried a build from scratch.

OK - i just built 6.11.03 in my current environment and everything is fine (so I can get back to work). But i presume there are many others who are downloading the pro tarball and having similar issues. It’s nice to have a 300MB root installation vs. a 3.3GB install from source!

There is indeed some odd that we need to fix with that tar ball (i.e I see it too).

Cheers,
Philippe.

So, as I understand the only solution is to build the current version, not the tar.gz nor the dmg

@RobS after you update your XCode, Can you compile macros (macro1.C for example) without issues?

Hi @jdalvarez,

I see the same problem as you. When I try

$ root
root [0] .L macro1.C+

I receive the same errors as you did in your first post. It seems I was too quick to label this as solved in my thread.

So the .dmg is not usable in macOS High Sierra? We have no option but to build from source?

Thank you @RobS for reproducing the problem.

@vvassilev Did you get a change to take a look a this problem? (I.e. the dmg is not useable on some user’s system because of the include directory found/used by (T)Cling)

@pcanal, is this the zlib issue that we discussed privately or this is another case which is broken on high sierra?

@vvassilev It is slightly different. The zlib issue is break the ROOT build while this one has a successful ROOT build (packaged in the dmg file) that leads to failure when using ACLiC because (likely-cause) Cling remembers the ‘wrong’ system directories as shown in the .include command shown above.

@jdalvarez Just to double check, Did you do a call xcode-install (for the command line tool) after installing the XCode 9 update?

@jdalvarez replied that indeed xcode-install was run on the failing machine.

This issue can be easily resolved by executing a single command xcode-select --install.

Hi @oxon, I tried xcode-select --install and it doesn’t solve the problem:

$ xcode-select --install
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

Can you launch /Applications/Xcode.app?

Yes, /Applications/Xcode.app launches without any problems.

Did you use “Software Update?”

Installing ROOT 6.12 solves the issue. Thanks for your suggestions!
