ROOT compiling on macOS 13.6.3

[pbloser]

Hi Andreas, me again...

I'm trying to install MEGAlib on a iMac Pro (our linux cluster here in my division is not well-suited to MEGAlib any more it seems, unlike 2.5 year ago, but I need some computing power to do activation sims). I've been following the instructions on your website: I believe I have Xcode, XQuartz, and cmake all installed correctly, command line tools etc., and took all MacPorts and conda-related lines out of my .bash_profile.

So I did

:MEGAlib pbloser$ bash setup.sh --branch=main

But the ROOT installation crashed. I'm attaching the RootBuildLog.txt file. The relevant part seems to be

make[1]: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make: Permission denied
make[1]: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [core/clib/CMakeFiles/move_header_core_clib.dir/all] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/FREETYPE.dir/all] Error 1
make[1]: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make: Permission denied
make[1]: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/TBB.dir/all] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/googletest.dir/all] Error 1

I don't get this. That make executable seems to be set up for all to execute:

:MEGAlib pbloser$ ll /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 436016 Nov 17 01:07 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make*

I can't find anything relevant by googling. I saw you once recommended someone install ROOT separately using MacPorts and then point the build script to it, so I will try that in the morning (v6.28.10? That's what the script downloaded) if you don't have a better idea...

Hi Peter,

Since you get a permission denied on make, you will not be able to compile anything.
Something screwed up your Xcode permissions.
I would just delete Xcode and reinstall it, since you don't know what else is broken.

Ah, good point…. ;-) OK, I’ll seek internal support help on this Xcode issue... Peter F.
