I’m compiling code that I’m not too familiar with yet. It uses rootcint to generate dictionaries. It passes the “-p” option and causes the build to choke. I’m using ROOT 4.02.00, gcc 3.4.2, on a FC3 platform.
There’s no documentation on the -p option for rootcint. Is this the same option as cint? If so, are all of the cint options available for rootcint?
In any case I tried out a very simple example from the ROOT tutorial
root.cern.ch/root/CintGenerator. … ionaryNOIO
"Dictionary Generation for Interactive Access Without I/O and RTTI"
And it worked just fine as documented. Meaning “rootcint -f mydict.C -c MyClass.h” successfully generated the dictionary.
However when I add the -p option I get the following error message…
[olivas@localhost ~/rootcintTest]$ rootcint -f mydict.C -c -p MyClass.h

This is the exact same error message I get when trying to compile analysis code. If I remove the -p the build chokes even earlier. Any information on what the -p option is for and how to get this working would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
