RE: [Fwd: Re: Installing root from source for MSVC]

To get a debug build set the variable ROOTBUILD to debug. Either

   export ROOTBUILD=debug
   make
or

   make ROOTBUILD=debug

Cheers,

Yes, that did it. Thanks ! (maybe worth adding to the web site info ?)

I want to make a debug version of root under windows, suitable for MSVC, using cygwin. Using the configure and build procedure gives me an optimized, no debug version.

Normally, I'd do this by specifying the flags in $CXXFLAGS, but that doesn't seem to work.

Best regards,

Hi,

The problem is that cygwin has an excutable

   /bin/link.exe
which hides the executable we need here (link.exe from the Microsoft's compiler).
To solve the problem I usually simply do:   mv /bin/link.exe /bin/link_cygwin.exe
