[quote=“bellenot”]Sure, but as it depends on the version of Visual Studio, here is an example with Visual Studio 10 on Windows 7 64 bit:
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
To be added at the beginning of Cygwin.bat (after @echo off)
[/quote]
This only works if you start bash with a .bat file (which is never how I do it - particularly because I have tabbed Xterms and when I create a new tab, it just runs a new copy of bash). To get the needed variables, I have to start bash, print the environment, from bash call ‘cmd’, run the batch script, call bash, print the environment again, and look for the differences.
[quote=“bellenot”]But if you want I could generate one for you with PyRoot only…(I only check from time to time that ROOT still compile on cygwin/gcc, without installing everything)
[/quote]
That would be absolutely lovely. Just let me know which version of Cygwin you use.
[quote=“bellenot”][quote=“cplager”]Without really a list of how to get this done, it just doesn’t look practical for somebody looking to get things setup quickly (how to setup environment variables, etc). I was hoping to get PyRoot setup and 5.34 didn’t setup any PyRoot, 5.32 set it up for 2.6 and not 2.7.[/quote]If pyRoot is missing, it should be only because you took the debug build of ROOT. But this is a Windows issue, since we cannot mix debug and release runtime libraries, the debug build of ROOT should be linked against the debug version of Python, and I don’t want to build Python from source…
Anyway, starting from ROOT v5.34.16, I will build the debug versions of ROOT with the release version of the runtime libraries, so we can bypass this issue.[/quote][/quote]
I believe I grabbed release, not debug. Is it possible that using the MSI, it just chose not to install PyRoot?
[quote=“bellenot”][quote=“cplager”]Given the current state, if a good linux VM and player were available, I’d probably punt altogether (do they?)[/quote]Well, that’s very easy nowadays, there are a couple of player out there (which one is only matter of taste), and you can even create your own image starting from an ISO image of your preferred Linux distro…
Just let me know if I can help…[/quote]
I’m looking for simple. I know nothing about which players to use, which VMs to grab. I personally think it would be great if one of the Root installations offered was a linux VM with Root/PyRoot already setup.
The only “complication” is that I want to be able to ‘ssh’ into the VM as I would to any linux box. If there are instructions on how to accomplish any of this, I’ll take a crack at it.
