Hello,

I’m using a debian system with gcc 3.3.6 and am trying to install root without success.
After running configure:
configure linux --prefix=/usr/local/root --libdir=/usr/local/root/lib --etcdir=/usr/local/root/etc --enable-soversion --enable-rpath

I ran:
sudo make debian

And get this output:

I’ve tried it with various architectures but it still wouldn’t work. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks!

Silly. I forgot to mention it’s 5.12/00

[quote=“Nir”]Hello,

I’m using a debian system with gcc 3.3.6 and am trying to install root without success.

[/quote]

I just succeeded in compiling under Debian Sarge.

Here are the packages I’ve installed to compile it:
sron.nl/~mverwijs/files/astr … selections

Download them and run:

apt-get update dpkg --set-selections < dpkg-selections apt-get dselect-upgrade

Apt will now install the needed packages.

I had an error compiling a different app (astroroot), but maybe my settings will help you? See:
http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3700

Finally: I use pbuilder to create a small chroot environment in which I build. I recommend you use it. If you mess up, just exit the chroot and restart pbuilder. You will have a fresh Debian Sarge environment anytime you need it, without having to fear messing up your working environment.

Hi,

for now do export ROOTSYS=/home/atlas2/nir/setups/root-5.12.00 (for sh, setenv for csh) before running make debian. qtgsi seems to use it although it shouldn’t. I’ll provide a fix.

Cheers, Axel.
