Choosing to move to this patch release due to two ROOT bug fixes requested by I&T.
New and interesting additions
For hairy details, one can always view the release notes.
Meaning of icons:
- For regular GLAST CMT packages, indicates that the package compiles with the new ROOT, and that any test programs execute properly; the meaning of other check marks depends on what the component is.
? - Not tested
- Doesn't work

Ran tutorials/demo.c in CINT on Windows - ran fine. Also compiled and ran $ROOTSYS/test, using Makefile.win32 and nmake. test/stress.exe failed the 8th test (trees split and compression modes) due to an assertion failure - sent message to ROOT forum. The failure was due to compiling in debug mode and all is fine, see RootTalk Forum: http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=17519#17519. Ran guitest.exe and that seemed just fine. |
This page will change as fixes are made to some problems, and more tests are done.
**Error in <TBuffer::CheckByteCount>: object of class vector<Double32_t> read too few bytes: 26 instead of 46
Viewing Root Forum discussion: http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1437&highlight=few+bytes+vector
This error message occurs when the AcdRecon m_rowDocaCol has no entries - this is a vector<Double32_t>
David provided ROOT-central a simple example of this problem, and 5.14 has now been patched. We can obtain the source from ROOT's CVS repository with the branch tag: v5.14.00-patches
David has compiled and tested this release on linux. This release has now been built on windows as well.
We will provide builds with VS2003 and VS2005
How the build was configured on Windows using cygwin and VS2005
Installed cygwin including gcc, make, etc NOTE: cygwin's link.exe application must be renamed, so that VC's link will be used for the build.
Installed MS Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/downloadand installed the Service Pack 1.
On this page I followed the link in Step 4 "Install the platform SDK"; on the next page I clicked on the link in Step 2 "Platform SDK" and ended up here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0BAF2B35-C656-4969-ACE8-E4C0C0716ADB&displaylang=en
"Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK Web Install"
I downloaded 'PSDK-x86.exe', chose a Typical install.
Next I installed the "Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86)" from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&DisplayLang=en
When I launched the installer it asked me to choose between "Repair" and (I think) "Remove" an existing installation. I chose "Repair".
Finally I downloaded and installed ".NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) (x86)" from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=FE6F2099-B7B4-4F47-A244-C96D69C35DEC&displaylang=en
Obtained ROOT source from their CVS repository using the tag v5.14.00e

Downloaded Python 2.5 for windows
We decided to upgrade to Python 2.5 at this point in the Core Meeting from March 13, 2007
We double-checked ROOT's abilty to handle this version of Python and were pleased to find this ROOT forum discussion:
