Dear Root'ers
I compiled root 4.01.04 on my WindowsXP Professional SP2 running cygwin.
Following Axel's cookbook, compilation run flawlessly.
My LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH and ROOTSYS seem to be OK:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH /root/lib:/lib:
PATH
/usr/lib/subversion/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:\
/root/bin:/bin:.:/root/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:\
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/ATI Technologies/ATI Control Panel
ROOTSYS /root
However, running root doesn't work.
The splash-screen appears, as it should, but that's also all of the good
news.
My xterm window shows then following message
>root
2 [main] ? 772 cygheap_fixup_in_child: Couldn't reserve 9891540
bytes of space for cygwin's heap (0x61790000 <0xAD0000>) in child, Win32
error 487
D:\cygwin\root\bin\root_exe.exe (772): *** m.AllocationBase 0x0,
m.BaseAddress 0x61790000, m.RegionSize 0x40000, m.State 0x10000
When I install the pre-compiled version from
ftp://root.cern.ch/root/root_v4.01.04.win32gcc.tar.gz, then root works
just fine.
So - there must be some additional trick missing in Axel's cookbook.
btw - 4.00.08 shows the same behaviour.
Any idea out there?
kind regards
HansPeter
