ROOT in CONDOR batch system

ROOT
1

Hi all,

I am also in the field of HEP. I am also trying to use ROOT in CONDOR Batch System. I’ve found the same problem with Igor? link:

root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.ph … ght=condor

I don’t understand the “dictionary” thing. I am really new to these (Linux and ROOT), so can I ask step-by-step procedure on how to have a ROOT executable which has static linking?

I tried the link below:
root.cern.ch/root/roottalk/roottalk01/4649.html

…but I found that there is no roota.lib in my ROOTSYS. I really don’t know where to go :frowning:

Or does anyone out there succesfully incorporate ROOT (even if you use dynamic linking) to CONDOR? Can you help me?

P.S. Can you cc this e-mail ad in your reply: leo@physics.msuiit.edu.ph

Thanks.

Nonethless did you try simply running:

gmake static?

Hi philippe,

I tried it: gmake static, but I got the following:

gmake: *** No rule to make target `static’. Stop.

Sincerely.

Hi philippe,

An update:

I issued "gmake static on my ROOTSYS directory and it all went well. After that, I followed this link:
root.cern.ch/root/roottalk/roottalk01/4649.html

…I eliminate several G__*.o files because I wanted my jobs to run in batch.

…then, I do
"chmod 755 install_roota"

…and issued
"./install_root"

BUT, “roota”, “libRoot.a” and “ar: new/src/*.o” are not in the directory. What might be wrong? I am on the right track?

I’m using Root version 5.12/00

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Leo

Hi Leo,

after doing “make static” in the ROOT source directory you should have $ROOTSYS/bin/roota $ROOTSYS/lib/libRoot.a.

If you don’t have the need for some libraries, take the $ROOTSYS/build/unix/makestatic.sh script and the (graphics) libs you don’t need to the excl list.

Alternatively you can just run “roota -b” in batch mode without X11.

Cheers, Fons.

I’ve just figured it out already.
Thanks for the reply anyways.
