building castor from source code

General Discussions

Hi everybody,

I downloaded the source and did:

export CASTORCONFIG=/home/research/sveta/castor_v2.1/config
export CASTOR_ROOT=1

make

I am getting:

Making dependencies for toolkits/castor-datafileConversionEx.cc ...
toolkits/castor-datafileConversionEx.cc:49:12: fatal error: 'TROOT.h' file not found
#include "TROOT.h"

Does this mean that I should install ROOT independently and point to it somewhere in config files?

Thanks,

Svetlana

Hi Svetlana,

You only need ROOT with CASToR if you wish to reconstruct simulated data from GATE. In this case, ROOT must indeed be installed first. The Makefile should directly find its location though. Let me know if it's not the case.

Best,
