Re: Using third party software in a compiled macro

What do you want to do with bla.cpp? Do you want to e.g. ".L bla.cpp+"? In that case simply change your bla.cpp's #include to

#ifndef __MAKECINT__
#include “Irrelevant.h”
#endif

void Bla() {
#ifndef __MAKECINT__

   cout << “Doing bla” << endl;
   Irrelevant dummy;
   Dummy.DoNothing();
#endif
}

CINT doesn't need to know what Bla() does - it just needs to know that it is a void function. With the #ifndef-s you hide it from CINT. Now you just need to do:

gSystem->Load("$IRRELEVANT/lib/libIrrelevant"); gSystem->SetIncludePath("-I$ROOTSYS/include -I$IRRELEVANT/include") .L bla.cpp+

The loading of libIrrelevant is needed because the ACLIC invokes the linker with all loaded libraries - and by loading it all symbols of class Irrelevant will get resolved.

Cheers, Axel.
