ROOT on MacOS X 10.3.9 with gcc 4

ROOT

Hi all,
what binary version of ROOT should I choose for the above configuration? The one for gcc 3.3 and Panther, or the binary for gcc 4.0 and Tiger?
Is it possible to compile ROOT from sources with such a Compiler/OS combination?

Thanks,
Jens

Hi,

there is currently no binary for Panther anymore of the latest version of ROOT, but recompilation from source is quite simple (altough on Panther you will need the dlcompat library from Fink). For more info on Fink see root.cern.ch/root/Install.html. Note that on Tiger there is no need of additonal libraries from Fink anymore.

Cheers, Fons.

Hi Fons,
looking at the Makefiles I thought the gcc version is chosen depending on the MacOS version number… what do I have to change to make it choose gcc4 over gcc3.3?

Cheers,
Jens
