ROOT - A data analysis framework. ROOT provides a set of frameworks with the functionality needed to handle and analyze large amounts of data in an efficient way. It includes specialized storage methods such as histograms, curve fitting, function evaluation, minimization, graphics, visualization classes; the C++ interpreter cling for fast prototyping; and powerful parallel processing support. It comes with a lot of different options for compilation. And it seems impossible to stress all of them in this one script. Therefore the potential user is strongly advised to check the cmake command arguments. Compilation takes quite a while, thus consider to build ROOT like that: # MAKEFLAGS=-j5 ./root.SlackBuild REQUIREMENTS: gl2ps libAfterImage python3-numpy tbb ftgl NOTES: - ROOT's python TMVA requires python3-numpy being built over blas. - This SlackBuild sets the root7 build option to ON in order to prepare the migration to the new ROOT 7 release. More on the ROOT 7 features you can find here: https://root.cern/for_developers/root7 - Starting from ROOT version 6.26/00 it uses the web-based version for the TBrowser if it is build with the root7 option being ON. You can switch back to the Win95-looking TBrowser by adding the following line to your $HOME/.rootrc file: Browser.Name: TRootBrowser - Starting from ROOT 6.28/00 version, one can use rootssh script for automatic configuration of ssh tunnel, necessary for web widgets: rootssh username@remotenode
