Re: failed to build ROOT v5.26.00b using MSVC

Hi Wei,

So you managed to build ROOT? Good!

Then, there is no pythia8 dll, it is a static library. To be able to execute the macro (and to use Pythia8 on Windows) you have to set the PYTHIA8DATA environment variable. For example, for me, it looks like this: set PYTHIA8DATA=C:\Users\bertrand\Pythia\pythia8135\xmldoc Then you can run the pythia8.C macro without any problem (just ignore the error message about the dll not found)

Cheers, Bertrand.
