Root with Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon

ROOT

Hi,

I am trying to install ROOT on Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon, but I always encounter an error. I have tried versions 6.22 through 6.32.02, but none of them can be installed, whether using the binary or the source.

During the cmake .. -build . -j4 command, the following error occurs: Here is the Error display in case of source 6.32.02.

Weird. Did you apply the relevant changes in interpreter/cling/tools/plugins/clad/CMakeLists.txt?

5

No, I haven’t changed this file.

Now, ROOT is installed with Clad and Cling disabled using the command: cmake -Dcling=OFF -Dclad=OFF ..

I would like to know if this compilation choice will impact Delphes or Pythia under MadGraph.

Best regards,
MO

So obviously the build of Clad fails…

First I don’t think you can disable cling at all (i.e. -Dclad=OFF is good enough), then I don’t know if this will impact Delphes or Pythia under MadGraph

I wanna try again within the modifications that you have set

if(_clad_build_type STREQUAL "")
   set(EXTRA_BUILD_ARGS --config ${_clad_build_type})
endif()

but what’s about this two comands in the ligne 91

  BUILD_COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build . --config ${_clad_build_type}
  INSTALL_COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build . --config ${_clad_build_type} --target install

best Regards, MO

First, it’s:

if(NOT _clad_build_type STREQUAL "")
  set(EXTRA_BUILD_ARGS --config ${_clad_build_type})
endif()

And then, you have to replace these lines:

  BUILD_COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build . --config ${_clad_build_type}
  INSTALL_COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build . --config ${_clad_build_type} --target install

By these lines:

  BUILD_COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build . ${EXTRA_BUILD_ARGS}
  INSTALL_COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build . ${EXTRA_BUILD_ARGS} --target install
9

After testing on Linux, I think it should be:

if(NOT _clad_build_type STREQUAL "" AND NOT _clad_build_type STREQUAL ".")
  set(EXTRA_BUILD_ARGS --config ${_clad_build_type})
endif()

Thank you,

I do these modifications but Unfortunately, the error still,
I will try just cmake -Dclad=OFF ..

cherrs, MO

OK, as you prefer

Cheers, Bertrand.

Just for a sanity check: what binary did you try to install? Mint 21.2 is based on Ubuntu 22.04, so I suppose you should try the binary for that version of Ubuntu (and also install the dependencies for Ubuntu), e.g. root_v6.32.04.Linux-ubuntu22.04-x86_64-gcc11.4.tar.gz for the latest.
