After failing to port a 6.36.02 build from Debian Trixie (13) to Ubuntu Noble (24.04), I’m now looking into the pre-built tarballs as suggested by the “Installing ROOT” page (I’m not allowed to put the link here).
I’m wondering which settings for the CMake configure stage have been used for them - in particular, which C++ standard was used, which components were turned ON / OFF.
Ideally, I’d like to look into the debian/* files and/or the build log…
Is this information available somewhere? I might have too much stuff enabled…
If the ROOT distribution contains recmake_initial.sh file, it will contain the exact configuration line.
You can also look at the result of root-config --features
Thanks so far - the latter command would require installing the software first while I’ve been looking into repackaging for foreign platforms.
The pointers at the config file (must have missed that) gives me a lot to think about now
