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

[watsodw]

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

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

[watsodw]

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

Probably just another instance of

Please try without the opengl variant.

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.

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

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...

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

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

[watsodw]

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.

Is this still a problem with 5.34.01?
