Choosing to move to this patch release due to fix in hadd, which allows one to merge TTrees containing user defined classes. This version no longer generates an error when the user defined library is unavailable, as it's not needed anyway.
This will be the first version we build with 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:

Obtained FFTW 3.1.2 from http://www.fftw.org/install/windows.html
downloaded: libxml2-2.6.15.win32 from Planet Mirror
downloaded gccxml from http://www.gccxml.org/HTML/Index.html
Skipped CERNLIB, Oracle
From the DOS prompt:
set PATH=
set LIB=
set INCLUDE=
and ran c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat
Then
set ROOTSYS=C:\heather\root514e\root
set PYTHONDIR=C:\Python25
set PYTHONPATH=%ROOTSYS%\bin
set XMLDIR=C:\heather\root514e\libxml2-2.6.15.win32
set ROOTBUILD=opt
set LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Lib;%LIB%;%ROOTSYS%\lib
set PATH=C:\Python25;%ROOTSYS%\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib;%PATH%;%ROOTSYS%\lib
set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\include;%INCLUDE%
Start cygwin via the command line: bash --login -i
At the cygwin prompt, changed directories to the %ROOTSYS% dir and then ran configure:
./configure win32gdk --enable-roofit --enable-minuit2 --enable-table \
--enable-python --disable-odbc --enable-gdml \
--enable-unuran --enable-xrootd \

renamed cygwin's link.exe to link_cyg.exe:
http://root.cern.ch/root/roottalk/roottalk06/1448.html
Avoids cygwin's link app from interfering with the build
make
make cintdlls (which seems to do nothing)
make map
make installAdd Comment
