Hello dear users,
I need to install ROOT as a prerequisite for GATE (geant4 application for tomographic emission). I downloaded the source files v6.22.02 and I have already installed all the prerequisites for ROOT.
I tried to install the binaries files but I got the error in GATE and that is why I am trying to install source files.
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:134 (MESSAGE):
ROOT has been compiled with cxx_std_14, please use cxx_std_17 as your
Geant4.
I create folders build and installation. Inside the build folder, I insert the following command.
Dear bellenot, thanks for your reply!
I was able to install root correctly. After the make -j2 command it works.
Now I got another error and I could not find in the forum.
After the make install, i got this
[100%] Built target ROOTPythonizations3_8
[100%] Built target JupyROOT2_7
[100%] Built target JupyROOT3_8
[100%] Built target hist2workspace
Install the project…
– Install configuration: “Release”

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:41 (file):

file or directory.
make: *** [Makefile:129: install] Error 1
Do you know how to solve it? thanks for your help!
By default install command tries to copy files in the default directories like /usr/lib64, /usr/bin and so on. Without super user rights you cannot do this - and I also do not recommend to install some debugging version of ROOT in default directories.
In principle, for debugging purposes you can use ROOT build directory without installing it.
Just call source <path_to_build>/bin/thisroot.sh and thats it.
