[Gate-users] gate 7.1 build failure

[David Boersma]

Hi Stefani,

Short:

I suggest that you try to recompile with ROOT 5.34 instead of ROOT 6.

Long:

The error message suggests that the problem is actually related to ROOT, 
not to the compiler version. GATE has been developed with ROOT 5.x.y 
versions mostly, and with major version jumps one should expect some 
incompatibilities, even though the ROOT team has tried to keep many 
things backwards compatible (or maybe you should call this forwards 
compatible).

Anyway. If you compare the TH1 reference pages of ROOT version 5.34, 
6.04 and 6.05 (current production version)

https://root.cern.ch/root/html534/TH1.html
https://root.cern.ch/root/html604/TH1.html
https://root.cern.ch/doc/master/classTH1.html

then you'll notice (search on the page for "rebin") that in ROOT 5 a TH1 
histogram could be rebinnable or not rebinnable (TH1 had a mask to 
enable/disable certain features, and one of the bits was for rebinning). 
In ROOT 6, TH1 histograms are always rebinnable, and therefore the 
kCanRebin enum no longer has a reason to exist, except for backward 
compatibility, but that was apparently not enough reason.

I think the short term workaround is to use ROOT 5.34 instead of the 
latest ROOT version. The download page on opengatecollaboration.org says 
that you need ROOT version "5.14 to last version", but I think the 
intended meaning is "last version of ROOT 5". At some point GATE should 
be patched to work with both ROOT 5 and ROOT 6; the kCanRebin may or may 
not be the only incompitibility. Still that should not be too hard, GATE 
is not using any really fancy ROOT features, AFAIK. So hopefully we get 
ROOT6 compatibility already in the GATE 7.2 release. :-)

HTH,
David Boersma
