Got it. Now I can build the duplets of mana.o and rmana.o (and .a) - mana always without ROOT, rmana with ROOT if available. This is the same as

The last bits of code to switch MIDAS to C++ have been committed, see tag midas-2019-05-cxx.

Hi, I have three naive questions about this:

It has been reported that the current midas release candidate does not build on el5 linux (SL/RHEL/CentOS-5).
According to Red Hat, el5 is end-of-life, last SL 5 (SL5.11) was done in 2014, so this linux is very old. Also as it happens, I do not have access to any |

If you follow the MIDAS documentation for setting up password protection, you will get strange messages:
