Root update error

Akash116 · March 3, 2020, 12:31pm

Sorry, but I don’t think you specified that the method was for 32 bit only.

bellenot · March 3, 2020, 12:39pm

OK, sorry, here is the complete method:

Open a x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 (and not a x64 one)

Configure with:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32 -Thost=x64 [C:\wherever\the\ROOT\sources are]

Build with: cmake --build . --config Debug

Akash116 · March 3, 2020, 12:52pm

Can this be causing problems. its the error file while configuring the source with CMake.
CMakeError.txt (70.5 KB)

bellenot · March 3, 2020, 12:55pm

Can you try the recipe I just sent? I build ROOT on Windows every day with different configurations without any problem…

Do you really want to build ROOT in C:\Windows\System32?
Did you open a x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019?

bellenot · March 3, 2020, 12:59pm

Did you use cmake before?

Akash116 · March 3, 2020, 1:02pm

No, I tried to do it in system32 out of confusion after many unsuccessful attempts. No, I did not use cmake before it. I tried it after getting configuration errors. Yes, I did use x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019

bellenot · March 3, 2020, 1:02pm

Apparently not… so here is what to do:

Open a x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 (and not a x64 one)
Create a directory where you want to build ROOT
Go (cd) to this directory
Configure with:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32 -Thost=x64 C:\Users\akasp\Downloads\root_v6.20.00.source\root-6.20.00

Build with: cmake --build . --config Debug

bellenot · March 3, 2020, 1:19pm

Please install Python (it is required to build ROOT)

Akash116 · March 4, 2020, 1:57am

I was already using python 3.7. Though, just to be sure as it was not integrated to PATH, I reinstalled python 3.8.2. I have attached the error log CMakeError - Copy.txt (65.5 KB)

bellenot · March 4, 2020, 7:45am

Python has to be in the PATH, it’s much simpler, otherwise you have to specify it at configure time, which is more complicated.

And thanks for the CMakeError file, it looks OK (the errors you see are normal). The output you get (on screen) at configure time is more useful

Indeed, if the configure step failed, it is useless to try to build…
