2020-01-19Better search for static C library at start of configurationMohammad Akhlaghi-108/+75
Until now, to see if a working static C library and `sys/cdefs.h' exist, we were checking absolute locations like `/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h' or `/usr/lib/libc.a' and `/usr/lib64/libc.a'. But this is not robust because on different systems, they can be in different locations. With this commit, we actually use `find' to find the location of `libc.a' and use that to add elements to CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS. This should fix the problem on systems that have them on non-standard locations.
2020-01-18TeXLive version printing updated to include revisionMohammad Akhlaghi-7/+26
Until now, when find the versions of the TeXLive packages, we would assume that `cat-date' is always present (because some packages don't have a version!). However, apparently an update has been made in the TeXLive Manager (`tlmgr') and `cat-date' is no longer present! As a result, none of the TeXLive packages were being printed. With this commit, it now assumes that `revision' is always present for every package, but it also attempts to read `cat-date' (for backwards compatability). When `cat-version' isn't present, it will try printing `revision' and if that is also not present, it will print the date.
2020-01-18Raw draft (until now as a separate repository) importedMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+7
Until now, I was writing the paper without the template. But we will soon be adding a tutorial to the template, and I thought it will be good to have an example demonstration here too. So I just brought the hole project into the template structure, allowing us to add the template analysis later when its ready, and also allowing us to easily reproduce this paper ofcourse (without having to worry about the host's TeXLive installation.
2020-01-18First set of customizations doneMohammad Akhlaghi-138/+6
The unnecessary parts were removed and the project now runs.
2020-01-18Added mweights as a TeXLive packageMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+2
After a new rebuild of the project, I noticed that we now need to also build the `mweights' package.
2020-01-18README-hacking.md: edits and corrections for easier customizationMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
The checklist descriptions were slightly edited to be more clear. Also, while following them, I noticed that while removing the "delete-me" parts on `verify.mk', would cause an error: the `if [ $$m == delete-me ];' statement we were saying to delete cause an error because `elif' was the first statement Bash would see. So with this commit, the `download' conditional (which isn't instructed to be deleted) was set to be the top (with an `if') and the `delete-me' conditional now has an `elif'.
2020-01-13Adding X11 libraries path to LDFLAGS in Ghostscript installationRaul Infante-Sainz-1/+4
Until this commit, the checking of X11 installation done to ensure that it is already available in the host system was crashing in macOS systems. The reason is that the place of the X11 libraries use to be `/opt/X11/lib' in macOS systems. With this commit, this issue has been fixed by adding this directory to the LDFLAGS.
2020-01-13Updated verion of Astropy to 4.0 the most recent oneRaul Infante-Sainz-3/+3
Newer versions of Astropy package has been released. With this commit, it has been updated. It has been increased from v3.2.1 to v4.0
2020-01-11Corrected markdown code notations in one README.mdMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+4
In markdown, to specify that part of the text should be shown as code we need to put it between two `. But in `reproduce/software/make/README.md', the code parts started with ` and finished in ' (like the file name above). With this commit, this has been corrected and it will display properly on web browsers.
2020-01-01Verification function checks if file existsMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+13
Until now, if the file to be verified didn't exist, a different checksum would be generated, and it would stop, but it wasn't immediately clear if the differing checksum is because the file doesn't exist at all! With this commit, before calculating the checksum, we first make sure if the file exists. If it doesn't exist an explicit error is printed and thus will help the project editor to find the cause of the problem.
2020-01-01Verification of output values and data added within templateMohammad Akhlaghi-22/+146
Until now, the only verification that the template provided was the published PDF. Users had to manually compare the published and generated PDFs (numbers, plots, tables) and see if they obtained the same result. However, this type of manual verification is not good and is prone to frustration and missing important differences. With this commit, a new Makefile has been added in the analysis steps: `verify.mk'. It provides facilities to easily verify the results that go into the paper. For example tables that go into making the paper's plots, or the LaTeX macros that blend into the text. See the updated parts in `README-hacking.md` for a more complete explanation. This completes task #15497.
2020-01-01Copyright statements updated to include 2020Mohammad Akhlaghi-56/+56
Now that its 2020, its necessary to include this year in the copyright statements.
2019-12-18Fixing Libxml2 checksum variable nameRaul Infante-Sainz-1/+1
Until this commit, the number `2' was missing in the checksum variable name of that library. It was `libxml-checksum' but it should be `libxml2-checksum'. With this commit, this issue has been fixed.
2019-12-18Removed extra backslash in Jeepney prerequisitesRaul Infante-Sainz-1/+1
An extra backslash in the prerequisites of Jeepney Python package was causing a crash in the installation of that software. With this commit, this problem has been fixed by removing the backslash.
2019-12-14R explicitly built without support for OpenMPMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+2
OpenMP takes a LONG TIME to build, so to keep things reproducible we are explicitly disabling OpenMP, if a user needs OpenMP, its trivial to just add it as a prerequisite of R. The problem is that in some scenarios (based on other dependencies and when they were built in the build directory), OpenMP may be present when R is being installed and in other it may not. We don't want the result to be different between the two builds.
2019-12-14Core R package is now in templateMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+16
With this commit, we now have the core R interpretter within the template. We should later include instructions to install R packages (possibly in a separate top-level Makefile like Python).
2019-12-13Necessary TeXLive packages installed: pdfescape letltxmacro bitsetMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Recent builds of the template need these three packages to build the PDF. This was reported by Hamed Altafi.
2019-12-04Added pdftexmcds to the TeXlive packages to installMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Until now we weren't including this package, but Alberto Madrigal recently reported that his build of the template failed because it needed it. With this commit, it is now being installed with the template.
2019-12-04Perl built without -shared on macOSMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+11
Until now, while building Perl, the `-Dlddlflags="-shared $$LDFLAGS"' option was being used for all systems. However, this caused `symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64' problems on macOS systems. With this commit, this configure option is only passed for GNU/Linux systems. With it, Perl can be built nicely on both GNU/Linux and macOS.
2019-12-04Updated verions of Ghostscript and GnuastroMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+4
Newer versions of these packages have recently come out with major improvements, so they have been updated in the template.
2019-12-04Checking for necessary X11 libraries before building GhostscriptMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+35
Until now, Ghostscript was using some host system's X11 libraries during its build (and later at run-time). We should ideally install all these necessary libraries within the template (Task #15481). But right now we are too busy. As a temporary work-around we try building a small dummy program that links with some of those libraries before attempting to built Ghostscript. If it fails, then a notice is printed with the cause and explaining a temporary solution is suggested: how to install those libraries on the system when you have root access.
2019-11-29Download links directly to actual file if it exists in INDIRMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+8
Until now, when an input dataset already exists in `INDIR', the template would just make a symbolic link to it in the build directory. However, in many cases, the files in INDIR will actually be links to other locations on the filesystem and some programs have problems following too many links. With this commit, the template is now using the `readlink' program (part of GNU Coreutils) to follow a possible link and point the link in the build directory directly to an actual non-link file.
2019-11-08Matplotlib problem on macOS system with GNU GCC fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+9
Until now when building Matplotlib on macOS systems, we were using the default C compiler. However, while Yahya Sefidbakht (previously) and Mahdieh Nabavi (now) were trying to build the template, on their macOS using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), we found that Matplotlib needs special macOS headers that GCC doesn't recognize. With this commit, when Matplotlib is being built on macOS systems, it uses `clang' and this fixed the problem (so far checked on Mahdieh's machine).
2019-11-08Minor corrections applied in software buildsMohammad Akhlaghi-8/+13
While working on a different branch to build the GNU C Library, I noticed a few places in the template that need corrections which are now applied: 1. A new-line character after the "C compiler works" notice at the start of the configure script. 2. Removing possible `::' in the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' definition of `basic.mk'. Note that its not necessary in the other steps because we don't use any outside-defined `LD_LIBRARY_PATH'. 3. Building GMP for C++ and also with `--enable-fat'. 4. Removing the unpacked Perl tarball directory after its installation.
2019-11-06GNU Project Debugger (GDB) and Pexpect can now be builtMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+18
These two packages are necessary to build the GNU C Library.
2019-11-06Perl is now built as a basic dependency of the templateMohammad Akhlaghi-5/+52
Perl is necessary to build Texinfo and later to build LaTeX. Until now we were just using the host operating system's installation of Perl, but in some instances that Perl can be too old and not suppor the features necessary. With this commit, Perl is now built from source during the basic installation step of the template. This was reported by Idafen Santana PĂ©rez, after trying the pipeline on an Amazon AWS EC2 system (a Linux distro by Amazon for its cloud services).
2019-11-03Corrected build of log4cxx by re-building the tarball usedMohammad Akhlaghi-15/+31
When building the log4cxx tarball from its Git history, I noticed that files with very long names are not packaged by tar (because by default Automake uses the ancient v7 tar format that only supports file names less than 99 characters). So I build the tarball with the `tar-ustar' option to Automake (by modifying the log4cxx source) and the resulting tarball was able to compile and run successfully. This has been described above the rule to build log4cxx and I also sent an email to their developing mailing list to inform them of this problem. If they address it, I will remove the note on the necessary corrections.
2019-10-31Minor corrections in distribution and autoconf prerequisite of automakeMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+37
Some minor corrections were made in the template: - When making the distribution, `.swp' files (created by Vim) are also removed. - Autoconf is set as a prerequisite of Automake I was also trying to add the Apache log4cxx, but its default 0.10.0 tarball needs some patches, so I have just left it half done until someone actually needs it and we apply the patch.
2019-10-30Tarballs set as order-only prerequisites, not needed for build callsMohammad Akhlaghi-371/+427
Until now, the tarballs were the first normal prerequisite of the software. As a result if their date changed, the whole software would be re-built. However, for tarballs specifically, we actually check their contents with a checksum, so their date is irrelevant (if its newer than the built program, but has the same checksum, there is no need to re-build the software). Also, calling the tarball name as an argument to the building process (for example `gbuild') was redundant. It is now automatically found from the list of order-only prerequisites within `gbuild' and `cbuild' (similar to how it was previously found in the `pybuild' for Python building). A `README.md' file has also been placed in `reproduce/software/make' to help describe the shared properties of the software building Makefiles. This will hopefully grow much larger in the future.
2019-10-29lmfit and its dependencies added, Python tarballs as prerequisiteMohammad Akhlaghi-189/+260
Python's `lmfit' module and all its major dependencies (`asteval', `corner', `emcee' and `uncertainties') have been included in the template. While doing this I noticed that if the tarballs are the last prerequisite of each software building rule, then when building in parallel, the template will immediately start building packages as soon as the first one is downloaded. Not like the current way that it will attempt to download several, then start building. For now, this has been implemented in the Python build rules for all the modules and we'll later do the same for the other programs and libraries. This also motivated a simplification of the `pybuild' function: it now internally looks into the prerequisites and selects the tarball from the prerequisite that is in the tarballs directory. This isn't a problem for the build, but I just don't understand why Python can't recognize the version of `emcee', Python reads the version of `emcee' as `0.0.0'! But it doesn't cause any crash in the build, so for now its fine.
2019-10-28HEALPix, Autoconf and Automake now in libraryMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+99
The tarball of HEALPix includes multiple languages and doesn't include the ready-to-run GNU Build System by default, we actually have to build the `./configure' script for the C/C++ libraries. So it was necessary to also include GNU Autoconf and GNU Automake as prerequisites of HEALPix. However, the official GNU Autoconf tarball (dating from 2012) doesn't build on modern systems, so I just cloned it from its source and bootstrapped it and built its modern tarball which we are using here.
2019-10-24Several more LSST pipeline dependencies are addedMohammad Akhlaghi-13/+144
The following software are added with this commit: eigency, esutil, flake8, future, galsim, lsstdesccoord, pybind11 and pyflakes.
2019-10-24APR, APR Utility, Boost and Eigen are now availableMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+70
As part of an effort to bring in all the dependencies of the LSST Science pipeline (which includes the last commit), these software are now available in the template.
2019-10-24GNU Bison, GNU Help2man and Flex are now availableMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+26
With this commit these three software packages are now installable with this template.
2019-10-19Minor improvments in packaging of project with make distMohammad Akhlaghi-12/+14
The steps to package the project have been made slightly more clear and also the temporary directory that is created for packaging is deleted after the tarball is made.
2019-10-11Properly working make clean when in group modeMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+4
Until now, when you ran `make clean', all the directories under `$(BDIR)/tex/' would be deleted except for `macros' and `build'. This was good for the single-user mode. But in group mode, this would delete the user-specific TeX build directory because its called `build-USER', not `build'. With this commit, to fix the problem, we define the new `texbtopdir' and based on the group condition, and use that to specify which directory to not delete.
2019-10-10Including trimspaces from TeXLiveMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+2
Carlos Morales Socorro reported that his LaTeX build was missing the `trimspaces' package, so it is now included in the pipeline.
2019-10-07Software citations now use modern ADS link for adsurlMohammad Akhlaghi-9/+9
Until now, some software were using the depreciated ADS URL (`http://adsabs.harvard.edu....') and some were using the modern one (`http://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu'). With this commit, to be consistent they all link to the modern URL.
2019-10-02Possibile to use download-multi-try script without locksMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+11
Until now, this script would always only work with a file-lock. But in some scenarios, we might want to download in parallel. For example when the system has multiple ports to the internet. With this commit, we have added this feature: when the lockfile name is `nolock', it won't lock and will download in parallel.
2019-10-01Minor corrections in configure and prepare phaseMohammad Akhlaghi-12/+11
Since ImageMagick can take long to build, we are now building it in parallel. Also, the part where we replace an `_' with `\_' in the software version at the end of the configure script was removed. It is more clear/readable that the actual rule that includes such a name deals with the underline (as is the case for `sip_tpv' which already dealt with it). Finally, I noticed that the checks at the start of `top-prepare' were missing new-lines. I had forgot that the Make single-shell variable isn't activated in this stage yet.
2019-10-01Infrastructure to keep preparation resultsMohammad Akhlaghi-17/+50
A special directory is now defined in `initialize.mk' that can be used in both the preparation and build phases. Also, the contents of prepared results can now be conditionally read during `./project make'.
2019-10-01Preparation phase added before final buildingMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+129
In many real-world scenarios, `./project make' can really benefit from having some basic information about the data before being run. For example when quering a server. If we know how many datasets were downloaded and their general properties, it can greatly optmize the process when we are designing the solution to be run in `./project make'. Therefore with this commit, a new phase has been added to the template's design: `./project prepare'. In the raw template this is empty, because the simple analysis done in the template doesn't warrant it. But everything is ready for projects using the template to add preparation phases prior to the analysis.
2019-10-01New versions for ImageMagick, Python, Numpy Scipy and MatplotlibMohammad Akhlaghi-19/+19
It was some time since these three software were not updated! With this commit the template now uses the most recent stable release of these packages. Also, the hosting server for ImageMagick was moved to my own webpage because unfortunately ImageMagick removes its tarballs from its own version.
2019-09-28Corrected name of SExtractor in its final targetMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Until now we were calling it `Sextractor', but the official way of writing it is `SExtractor'. With this commit, this has been corrected.
2019-09-26Working project when downloaded from arXivMohammad Akhlaghi-14/+23
Until now, we were assuming that the users would just clone the project in Git. But after submitting arXiv:1909.11230, and trying to build directly from the arXiv source, I noticed several problems that wouldn't allow users to build it automatically. So I tried the build step by step and was able to find a fix for the several issues that came up. The scripting parts of the fix were primarily related to the fact that the unpacked arXiv tarball isn't under version control, so some checks had to be put there. Also, we wanted to make it easy to remove the extra files, so an extra `--clean-texdit' option was added to `./project'. Finally, some manual corrections were necessary (prior to running `./project', which are now described in `README.md'. Most of the later steps can be automated and we should do it later, I just don't have enough time now.
2019-09-25Won't copy previous distribution builds in new distributionMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Until now, the pipeline was instructed to only ignore the current temporary project distribution directory. So if there were directories from previous builds, they were wrongly included in the current tarball. With this commit, we don't just ignore the directory of the current distribution, but generally, all directories starting with `paper-v*'.
2019-09-16Configure script won't allow build directory to be under sourceMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+28
Users that are not familiar with the file structure of the project may specify the current directory (to-level source directory) as their build-directory. This will cause a crash right after answering the questions, where `rm' will complain about `tex/build' not being deleted because it exists as a directory. To avoid such confusing situtations, the configure script now checks if the build directory is actually a sub-directory of the source. If it is, it will complain with a short message and abort. Also, a `CAUTION' statment has been put in the initial description, right ontop of the question. This bug was reported Carlos Allende Prieto and David Valls-Gabaud.
2019-09-16Git checksum printed even when on a tagMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
Until now, when the commit was tagged, `git describe' would just print the tag and no longer the commit checksum. This is bad because the checksum is a much more robust way to confirm the point in history. With this commit the `--long' option has been added to `git describe' to fix this issue. From now on, when we are on a tag, it will print the tag followed by a `-0-' and the first characters of the checksum.
2019-09-16Distribution tarball now builds in arXivMohammad Akhlaghi-8/+25
`./project make dist' will package all the LaTeX-specific files (and analysis source files) into one `tar.gz' file that is ready to upload to servers like arXiv. However, it wasn't updated for some time, so running it would complain about not having a `configure' script in the top of the project. With this commit, it now works with the new file-structure of the project and also copies all the BibLaTeX source files and `paper.bbl' into the top tarball directory, which allows arXiv to build the paper as intended. The output of `./project make dist' has been uploaded and tested on arXiv and it is built by arXiv perfectly. Also, a short description of all the special `make' targets was added to the output of `./project --help'.
2019-09-15SExtractor BibTex entry updated with ADS's exported formatMohammad Akhlaghi-10/+13
Until now the SExtractor BibTeX entry has the first-name and family name in the same field, while the family-name should be in curly braces. Also, it was missing an ADS URL. So the default ADS generated BibTeX entry for SExtractor is now used instead of the old one.
