Windows ROOT problem

chiara_iannetta · February 16, 2019, 1:30pm

Dear @Axel and @bellenot,
I am trying to run ROOT v6 16.00 on a Windows 10 home, with Visual Studio 2017 Community. After I installed everything, when I first type “root -l” on the terminal, this happens:

root [0]

Then I try to compile a very simple code that should only print the word “points”, but this happens:

root [0] .L points.C+
Info in <TWinNTSystem::ACLiC>: creating shared library C:/Users/Soap/Desktop/points_C.dll
"cl" is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.
Error in <ACLiC>: Compilation failed!

What is happening?

Thanks for the help,

Hi,

First, make sure you have the version 15.7.6 of Visual Studio. Then, in order to have ACLiC working, you must start ROOT from a Visual Studio Command Prompt

Cheers, Bertrand

Hello,
I’ve completely re-installed VS version 15.7.6.
I’ve also added a command prompt in order to open a terminal from VS. This is the message now:

I’ve some suspects on the SDK version…
The compilation gives the same error as before.
