Hello all,
ET release:
- hwloc issues were sorted out over the weekend
- HDF5 thorn changes that look for architecture dependent include and
lib directories will be reverted since the assume that gcc is present.
- suggestion to instead modify ubuntu.cfg which is the only option list
affected
- Peter ran qc0 recenlty will check that the waves are correct
- Ian Hinder worked on OSX option lists, synchorinizing homebrew and
macports version
- Kranc thorns were regenerated
Frank: best to give it a bit more time before you create the release branches for simfactory. Ubuntu.cfg as in master currently does not compile for me on a freshly installed 14.04 virtual machine if I install only the packages listed at the top (assuming the following packages are installed) in the cfg file. Basically setting HDF5_DIR=/usr fails to compile since the list does not include libhdf5-dev. Since libhdf5-dev will fail b/c it will not find the architecture dependent files (and there are actually possible conflicts between libdhf5-dev and eg petsc-dev) I took out the HDF5_DIR line which will make it compile if detection fails.
The alternative is to move libhdf5-dev into the required packages list, add the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/lib/ to LIBDIRS, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/include to SYS_INC_DIRS and check that that still compiles. I will try this as well once the one compiling HDF5 finishes (so that the list of packages that is supposed to make things faster also works).
I case someone wants to help PLEASE try this on a freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 (virtual) machine. Do not try this only on your own personal workstation/laptop.
In any case, a test compilation is still ongoing and given how long this takes in a VM this may take a while.
Yours, Roland
