Binaries

Note 1: Before downloading a binary version make sure your machine contains the right run-time environment. In most cases it is not possible to run a version compiled with, e.g., egcs on a platform where only gcc 2.95 is installed. In such cases you'll have to install ROOT from source. See the configurations used to build the binaries below.

  Do not untar in a directory with a name containing blank characters.

When running from the MSDOS prompt, you must set the following environment variables, eg in your autoexec.bat: (Restart the system if you set these variables for the first time).

   set TEMP=c:\temp
   set HOME=c:\your top directory
   set TMPDIR=c:\temp
   set ROOTSYS=c:\root  (the directory where you installed Root)
   set PATH=%PATH%;%ROOTSYS%\bin

Note valid for all Windows versions:
This version has been compiled with the ANSISTREAM compatibility option. To use this version, you may have to:
1. Add the option -GX in your compiler options.
2. In your includes replace iostream.h by Riostream.h
3. Replace reference to MSVCIRT.LIB by MSVCPRT.LIB when linking.

The win32 and win32gdk versions have been compiled under VisualC++7.NET. These versions may not run correctly under Windows95 or Windows98 (we do not support these obsolete versions anymore). To use these files with the old VisualC++6, you may have to download the following DLLs and store them in a directory accessible in your PATH:

• dformd.dll
• MSVCP71.dll
• MSVCR71.dll
• MSFRT40.dll

Some old Windows systems may also require:

• MSVCIRT.DLL
• MSVCP60.DLL
• MSVCPRT.lib
For NT get the OpenGL that "fixes Color Problems Using Service Pack 2 for NT 4.0".
For Win 95 get this new version of OpenGL.


To install, unzip and untar the file. For example:

$ gunzip root_v4.02.00.Linux.RH7.3-slc3.gcc3.2.3.tar.gz
$ tar xvf root_v4.02.00.Linux.RH7.3-slc3.gcc3.2.3.tar

This will create the directory root. Before getting started read the file README/README. Remember, you can find the full documentation of the ROOT classes on this web site at the location Classes and Members. The distribution also contains all tutorials and a set of test programs.
