ROOT on macOS 15 / Xcode 16

ROOT
9

I do not know if it will help in your case, but I just managed to make it work on my Intel MacOS15 CTL 16 machine with the following recipe (thanks to @StephanH and web):

# remove the current Command Line Tools
sudo rm -r /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

# Reset xcode-select
sudo xcode-select -r

# Then install. You will be asked to click a button 
sudo xcode-select --install

# Go in the System Settings -> General -> Software Update 
# if there is a new version of the Command Line Tools, update it.

# Install ROOT
git clone https://github.com/root-project/root.git
mkdir root-build
cd root-build
cmake ../root
make -j8

compared to what I tried before xcode-select -r seems to be the magic.
