6 root-config - ROOT utility for your Makefiles
7
9 root-config [options]
10
12 Put lines like
13 CFLAGS = $(shell root-config --cflags)
15 LIBS = $(shell root-config --libs)
16 GLIBS = $(shell root-config --glibs)
17 %Cint.cxx:Include.h LinkDef.h
19 rootcint -f $@ -c $^
20 in you Makefile.
22 You may also find the automake(1), autoconf(1), and libtool(1) macro
24 file /usr/share/aclocal/root.m4 useful. If that macro file isn't
25 installed where Iaclocal will find it, copy the contents to your local
26 acinclude.m4 file. In the directories you use ROOT libraries, have in
27 your Makefile.am file:
28 lib_LTLIBRARIES = libFoo.la
30 pkginclude_HEADERS = Foo.h
31 noinst_HEADERS = FooCint.h
32 libFoo_la_SOURCES = Foo.cxx FooCint.cxx
33 libFoo_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 1:0 -R @ROOTLIBDIR@
34 libFoo_la_LDADD = -lCore -lCint @ROOTAUXLIBS@
35 BUILT_SOURCES = FooCint.cxx FooCint.h
37 AM_CPPFLAGS = -I@ROOTINCDIR@
39 AM_LDFLAGS = -L@ROOTLIBDIR@
40 CLEANFILES = *Cint.cxx *Cint.h *~ core
41 %Cint.cxx %Cint.h:Include.h LinkDef.h
43 @ROOTCINT@ -f $*Cint.cxx -c $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $^
44 where you should substitute Foo with whatever, and list the appropiate
46 source files in the _SOURCES variable. In you configure.in file, put:
47 AC_PROG_CC
49 AC_PROG_CXX
50 ROOT_PATH
51 AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
52 along with any other macros you may need.
54 Note that the ROOT_PATH macro takes three optional arguments: the mini‐
56 mal ROOT version to use, action if ROOT is found, and action if ROOT
57 isn't found. Some examples are
58 ROOT_PATH(3.03/05, , AC_MSG_ERROR(Your ROOT version is too old))
60 ROOT_PATH(, AC_DEFUN(HAVE_ROOT))
61 For example, if you want to compile some part of your source tree con‐
63 ditionally on wether ROOT is present or not, you can put in your con‐
64 figure.in file
65 ROOT_PATH(,
67 [
68 AC_DEFUN(HAVE_ROOT)
69 have_root=yes
70 ])
71 AM_CONDITIONAL(GOT_ROOT, test "x$have_root" = "xyes")
72 And then in some Makefile.am
74 EXTRA_SOURCES = root_depenent_source.cc
76 if GOT_ROOT
77 LIBFOOXTRA = root_depenent_source.cc
78 else
79 LIBFOOXTRA =
80 endif
81 lib_LTLIBRARIES = libFoo.la
83 libFoo_la_SOURCES = Foo.cc $(LIBFOOXTRA)
84 The full list of substitution variables are:
86 ROOTCONF
88 full path to root-config
89 ROOTEXEC
91 full path to root
92 ROOTCINT
94 full path to rootcint
95 ROOTLIBDIR
97 Where the ROOT libraries are
98 ROOTINCDIR
100 Where the ROOT headers are
101 ROOTCFLAGS
103 Extra compiler flags
104 ROOTLIBS
106 ROOT basic libraries
107 ROOTGLIBS
109 ROOT basic + GUI libraries
110 ROOTAUXLIBS
112 Auxilary libraries and linker flags for ROOT
113 ROOTAUXCFLAGS
115 Auxilary compiler flags
116 ROOTRPATH
118 Same as ROOTLIBDIR
119
121 --help Gives a short list of options avaliable, and exit
122 --version
124 Report the version number of installed ROOT, and exit.
125 --prefix=<prefix>
127 If no arguments is given, reports where ROOT is installed. With
128 an argument of =<prefix>, set the base of the subsequent options
129 to <prefix>. If \--exec-prefix is passedwith an argument, that
130 argument overrides the argument given to \--prefix for the
131 library path.
132 --exec-prefix=<prefix>
134 If no argument is given, report where the libraries are
135 installed. If an argument is given, use that as the installation
136 base directory for the libraries. This option does not affect
137 the include path.
138 --libdir
140 Print the directory where the ROOT libraries are installed.
141 --incdir
143 Print the directory where the ROOT headers are installed.
144 --libs Output a line suitable for linking a program agains the ROOT
146 libraries. No graphics libraries are output.
147 --glibs
149 As above, but also output for the graphics libraries.
150 --cflags
152 Output a line suitable for compiling a source file againd the
153 ROOT header (class declararion) files.
154 --new Put the libNew.so library in the library lists. This option
156 must be given before options --libs and --glibs.
157 --nonew
159 Compatiblity option. Does nothing.
160 --auxlibs
162 Print auxiliary libraries and/or system linker flags.
163 --noauxlibs
165 Do not print auxiliary libraries and/or system linker flags in
166 the output of --libs and --glibs. --auxcflags Print auxiliary
167 compiler flags.
168 --noauxcflags
170 Do not print auxiliary compiler flags in the output of --cflags.
171 --noldflags
173 Do not print library path link option in output of --libs and
174 --glibs.
