2020-04-02Imported recent work on Maneage, minor conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+1620
A few minor conflicts occurred and were fixed.
2020-02-24MissFITS is now added to the templateSurena Fatemi-1/+1
MissFITS is package for manipulating FITS files. I added it as my first commit to the project for educational purposes.
2020-02-13Adding a link to the *crt*.o files in the local install directoryMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+1
Until now, we defined `LIBRARY_PATH' to fix the problem of the `ld' linker of Binutils needing several `*crt*.o' files to run. However, some software (for example ImageMagick) over-write `LIBRARY_PATH', therefore there is no other way than to put a link to these necessary files in our local build directory. With this commit, we fixed the problem by putting a link to the system's relevant files in the local library directory. This fixed the problem with ImageMagick. Later, when we build the GNU C Library in the project, we should remove this step. This bug reported by Raul Castellanos Sanchez.
2020-02-11Configure script won't crash without Fortran compiler, only a warningMohammad Akhlaghi-27/+46
Until now, when a Fortran compiler didn't exist on the host operating system, the configure script would crash with a warning. But some projects may not need Fortran, so this is just an extra/annoying crash! With this commit, it will still print the warning, but instead of a crash, it will just sleep for some seconds, then continue. Later, when if a software needs Fortran, it's building will crash, but atleast the user was warned. In the future, we should add a step to check on the necessary software and see if Fortran is necessary for the project or not. The project configuration should indeed crash if Fortran is necessary, but we should tell the user that software XXXX needs Fortran so we can't continue without a Fortran compiler. Also, a small sentence ("Project's configuration will continue in XXXX seconds.") was added after all the warnings that won't cause a crash, so user's don't think its a crash.
2020-02-01Make called with -k during software buildingMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
Until now, Make was just run ordinarily on the two Makefiles of the software building phase. Therefore when there was a problem with one software while building in parallel, Make would only complete the running rules and stop afterwards. But when other rules don't depened on the crashed rule, its a waste of time to stop the whole thing. With this commit, both calls to Make in the `configure.sh' script are done with the `-k' option (or `--keep-going' in GNU Make). With this option, if a rule crashes, the other rules that don't depend on it will also be run. Generally, anything that doesn't depend on the crashed rule will be done. The `-k' option is a POSIX definition in Make, so it is present in most implemenetations (for the call to `basic.mk').
2020-02-01IMPORTANT: reproduce/software/bash renamed to reproduce/software/shellMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+1601
Until now the shell scripts in the software building phase were in the `reproduce/software/bash' directory. But given our recent change to a POSIX-only start, the `configure.sh' shell script (which is the main component of this directory) is no longer written with Bash. With this commit, to fix that problem, that directory's name has been changed to `reproduce/software/shell'.
