Dear Experts, I was trying to build ROOT 6.30.04 on my MacOS Sonoma and it failed with the following errors. Can you please help me?

Wolfgang_Korsch1 · March 6, 2024, 9:42pm

I encountered the same problem.

Subhadip_Pal · March 6, 2024, 10:00pm

Hi, Did you find any solution?

Wolfgang_Korsch1 · March 6, 2024, 11:25pm

No, I have no idea. The same error occurs on Intel processors. There was an XCode update today, and maybe it’s related to that.

Danilo · March 7, 2024, 7:30am

Dear Wolfgang, Subhadip,

I am sorry you encountered this issue.

We are aware of this and are working on a fix. This is due to an XCode update: Apple changed the way C++ modules of the STL are organised.
In the meantime, if that is an option for you, you can roll-back temporarily the update.

Best,
Danilo

Subhadip_Pal · March 7, 2024, 8:51am

Hello Everyone,

I found a somewhat working solution. As suggested in the error message, I specified -mByproduct std_xyz' to disable this diagnostic.

I added the following lines

  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_vector")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_functional")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_sstream")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_numeric")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_fstream")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_iostream")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_map")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_unordered_set")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_chrono")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_complex")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_forward_list")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_list")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_condition_variable")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_thread")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "std_queue")

manually after the following lines in core/CMakeLists.txt and rebuilt ROOT. It worked for me.

  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-m" "_Builtin_intrinsics" "-mByproduct" "_Builtin_intrinsics")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "ROOT_Foundation_Stage1_NoRTTI")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "ROOT_Foundation_C")
  list(APPEND core_implicit_modules "-mByproduct" "ROOT_Rtypes")

Thank you for the proposed temporary fix. I have finally managed to install it…

diboye · March 8, 2024, 9:30am

I am experiencing the same issue, and unfortunately this workaround doesn’t work for me.

cbungau · March 8, 2024, 10:21am

In case this helps, I have applied this workaround to the master branch (the development version) and not to 6.30.04. Also do not forget to run cmake after this fix, before compiling the code.

cxwx1 · March 8, 2024, 7:17pm

same issue, and thanks for temporary fix

mstefaniak · March 12, 2024, 1:26am

Hi! Same problem. I tried to use the @Subhadip_Pal solution but I am getting further errors:

It looks like the last three lines from your suggestion do not apply to that set of errors. Did you also saw such thing? I guess I should add similar lines (as suggested) to some CMakeLists.txt but I cannot find it

tmpuser · March 12, 2024, 1:58am

the trick I used is to compile with single thread as “cmake --build . – install -j1” after applying the suggested fix.
good luck

shreyas_bakare · March 12, 2024, 8:45am

Same for me

Subhadip_Pal · March 12, 2024, 8:47am

Hello @mstefaniak, I think I saw something similar at first. But I didn’t add such lines in any other CMakeLists.txt file. After making changes in the core/CMakeLists.txt file I configured ROOT again using Cmake and then built it. It worked.

Good luck.

mstefaniak · March 12, 2024, 1:00pm

Yes, I am doing it precisely like you wrote. Unfortunately, that is not a solution thanks!

couet · March 12, 2024, 1:18pm

The latest master version is compiling fine on Mac with XCode 15.3 now

mstefaniak · March 12, 2024, 2:17pm

@couet what does it mean “master”? Can I also download it with:

git clone --branch latest-stable --depth=1 https://github.com/root-project/root.git root_src

Danilo · March 12, 2024, 3:29pm

Dear @mstefaniak , all,

Thanks for this thread and for sharing your issues and concrete workarounds: it was impressive for me to observe your positive attitude!

We worked hard on this issue and the master branch of ROOT has been fixed (see this PR). If you can, you just have to update your repo, reconfigure and rebuild. Should you encounter more issues, please do not hesitate to come back to us either through the forum, or, slightly preferred for issues like this one, on our GH tracker.

On our side, we upgraded also our CI, by adding nodes running the macos beta, getting the latest updates of OS and XCode, which sometimes cause instabilities to applications. This will allow us to spot future problematic updates in advance. A release of 6.30, once a backport of the fix is available, will be provided.

Thanks again for your collaborative attitude!

Best,
Danilo

ferhue · March 12, 2024, 6:07pm

To get the master branch, remove --latest-stable when cloning,

mstefaniak · March 12, 2024, 7:25pm

I went through that part and failed further:
