2018-11-12	Libcurl, Git, CMake, TIFF, Zlib also built at configure time	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-1/+6
	During the configuration step several new programs that were necessary for a more complete controlled environment are now also downloaded and built statically.
2018-11-12	Dependencies built at the start of the pipeline	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-0/+15
	To enable easy/proper reproduction of results, all the high-level dependencies are now built within the pipeline and installed in a fixed directory that is added to the PATH of the Makefile. This includes GNU Bash and GNU Make, which are then used to run the pipeline. The `./configure' script will first build Bash and Make within itself, then it will build All the dependencies are also built to be static. So after they are built, changing of the system's low-level libraries (like C library) won't change the tarballs. Currently the C library and C compiler aren't built within the pipeline, but we'll hopefully add them to the build process also. With this change, we now have full control of the shell and Make that will be used in the pipeline, so we can safely remove some of the generalities we had before.
