Root 5.32.01: +pythia variant fails to build on Snow Leopard

[david.w.watson@…]

Upgrade from Root 5.32.00 to 5.32.01 fails, apparently with problem with pythia.

[ryandesign@…]

The errors seem to start here:

:info:build In file included from /opt/macports/include/Pythia.h:12:0,
:info:build                  from include/TPythia8.h:69,
:info:build                  from /opt/macports/var/macports/build/_opt_macports_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_science_root/root/work/root/montecarlo/pythia8/src/TPythia8.cxx:75:
:info:build /opt/macports/include/Analysis.h:38:22: error: 'Event' does not name a type

First, you should see whether this problem is related to the fact that you are upgrading rather than installing from scratch. Deactivate the existing root port, clean the new root build, then try again.

sudo port -f deactivate root
sudo port clean root
sudo port install root

[david.w.watson@…]

Did that. Build fails with other errors. See main2.log.

Probably just another instance of

​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32525

Please try without the opengl variant.

[david.w.watson@…]

Ran "sudo port install root +clarens +fftw3 +fitsio +gcc46 +graphviz +gsl +minuit2 +mysql +python27 +qt_mac +roofit +soversion +ssl +tmva +xml" for Root 5.32.01, which does not include "+pythia +opengl" that is included in my previous install of Root 5.32.00. It built and installed correctly even though the install added back "+opengl". Evidently 5.32.01 and pythia don't like each other yet.

[jonesc@…]

I think the problem is only with opengl, pythia is OK. Could you try adding pythia back, but still without opengl ?

For the record, pythia and opengl variants build just fine here, with OSX 10.7 and Xcode 4.2. The issue is more with 10.6 and Xcode 3 (which I cannot test against).

b.t.w. qt_mac my have built but it almost certainly won't work. I don't particularly recommend using this variant...

[jonesc@…]

note you have to add -opengl to disable that variant, as it is enabled by default. Just not adding +opengl is not enough.

[david.w.watson@…]

Did that and the build still fails because of pythia. Builds fine with opengl. By th e way, I'm using 10.6.8 and Xcode 3.2.6.

[jmr@…]

Is this still a problem with 5.34.01?

[jonesc@…]

i suggest unless we here back from the submitter, we just close this. I have no way to test anything on OSX 10.6 anymore, and ROOT 5.32.01 is an obsolete version now.

[macsforever2000@…]

Sounds good. It works for me on Mountain Lion anyway.

I just tried compiling the latest ROOT with variants +avahi+fftw3+fitsio+ldap+mysql+odbc+pythia+qt_mac+ruby+universal on OSX 10.6, and I got the following error:

It doesn't look like the same error message, but it is the same port with the same variant on the same OS, so I figured it belonged here.

Cc Me!

[jonesc@…]

You are using a lot of variants there. Please first try without any, and confirm if that works or not. Then start trying the variants one at a time until you find what causes the error.

Also, please post a *full* log file for a clean build attempt (so run 'sudo port clean root' first) and not just a small snippet.

[jonesc@…]

Just noticed you had the universal variant enable '+universal'. Why did you add this ? Really, I cannot think of any reason why you would need universal binaries for this port ? I certainly have never tested it and would be quite surprised if it worked.

[macsforever2000@…]

FYI, I just built root +universal with the default variants. I have not tested it in use though.

[jonesc@…]

Good to know the universal variant works, or at least compiles.... Not sure it makes any sense to compile root universal though ...

Please try and isolate the minimum set of variants that causes the issue, and post a full clean log. As I said, I no longer have access to the older OSX 10.6 release, so cannot do any testing myself....
