2018-12-03Preference for shared library linkingMohammad Akhlaghi-24/+35
Some high-level programs like Wget and cURL need to be built in shared mode because they also include dynamic loading of libraries. Therefore, if we only build the lower-level libraries in static mode, our own build will be ignored and they will go and find the system's shared libraries to link with. Because of this, for now, we have manually set the `static_build' variable in the configure script to `no'. Also, if the downloader fails, we'll delete the output (an empty file in the case of Wget) because it interefers with a target definition.
2018-12-02Wget and OpenSSL now installed as a basic dependencyMohammad Akhlaghi-33/+93
The TeX Live installer needs Wget to operate smoothly, especially on recent Mac OS systems that don't have Wget pre-installed. Also, it would be good for the pipeline to have its own downloader. So with this commit, the pipeline also installs Wget and OpenSSL which is a dependency. Many other small changes/fixes were done in this process.
2018-11-30cURL now also available as downloader with -L flagMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+5
The main reason I wasn't using cURL as a downloading tool was that I wasn't familar with how to ask it to follow a re-direct. But I just found out that its with the `-L' configure time option. So it is now added as a downloader tool to the pipeline.
2018-11-29Ignoring building of GCC for pipelineMohammad Akhlaghi-9/+33
GNU Binutils (which provides the GNU Linker) is not ported to Mac OS systems. GCC also takes a very long time to build, and if we are to still have linking problems with LLVM's linker, it would be better to just ignore GCC also and use the system's C compiler and linker together. So for the time being, GCC isn't a main target of the basic dependencies and won't be installed. But we have kept the rules that were checked on a GNU/Linux operating system.
2018-11-29GCC is now installed by the pipelineMohammad Akhlaghi-39/+120
The pipeline now installs GCC and all its necessary prerequisites.
2018-11-28Changed -rpath to -rpath-link for LLVMMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+5
The linker of LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.5) doesn't recognize the `-rpath' linker option! After some searching, apparently it does recognize `-rpath-link' so we are testing with that now.
2018-11-28Better control of shared library linkingMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+22
Until now we weren't explicity writing the full path of the dynamic libraries necessary for linking a program. But now with `-Wl,-rpath=$(ildir)' we ensure that the linker keeps the address of the dynamic libraries necessary for linking at linking time, not running time. Also, `pkg-config' is also built when preparing the basics. Several other minor corrections were made thanks to the great help of Raúl Infante Sainz.
2018-11-26High-level dependencies build without system's PATHMohammad Akhlaghi-36/+107
The high-level dependencies are now built without having access to the system's PATH. To do this, all the necessary software that we aren't building ourselves are now brought into the installed `bin/' directory using a symbolic link to the corresponding software on the host. To do this, it was also necessary to increase the number of basic/low-level packages that we are building, and add several more (Diffutils and Findutils). With this process in place, we now have a list of the exact software packages that we are not building our selves, enabling easy building of all such dependencies in the future.
2018-11-26sh executable now available in PATHMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+15
While working on a research project using this pipeline, I noticed that we don't have any `sh' executable within our PATH. However, some programs (including Gnuastro's configure script, when it is checking for shells to use with Libtool) check and use it. So after building Bash, we also build an `sh' symbolic link to point to the built Bash executable.
2018-11-20Not including system's libraries in high-level dependenciesMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
The system's libraries are no longer used in building the higher-level dependencies. Also, thanks to Raul Infante Sainz, we found out that Bash's build script was still removing the extra directory information (not good!).
2018-11-20GNU Coreutils now built in basic dependenciesMohammad Akhlaghi-19/+29
GNU Coreutils are basic programs that can help in the configuration of higher-level programs. Because of that, it was a dependency of almost all software built in `dependencies.mk'. To make things more clear, easier to read and faster (when building in parallel), the building of Coreutils is now moved to the `dependencies-basic.mk' rules. There, it is built along-side Bash. Since `dependenceis-basic.mk' is run and completed before `dependencies.mk', with this, we can be sure that Coreutils is present by the time we want to build the higher-level programs. Also, Zlib is now added as a dependency of Git also (it is necessary for its build).
2018-11-19Removed GNU Binutils, CMake's built with its own bootstrapMohammad Akhlaghi-43/+10
When the C compiler is not GNU GCC, linking with GNU Binutils is going to cause problems. So until the time that we can include GCC into this pipeline, its best to avoid Binutils also. Also, for building CMake, we were relying on an installed CMake, but now, we are using its own `./bootstrap' script, so it can be built even if the host system doesn't have CMake. Also, for TeX Live, we are now setting a custom file as main target to avoid complications with symbolic links as targets in Make. Finally, when the user says they don't want to re-write an existing configuration file, no extra notices will be printed and the configure script will immediately start building programs.
2018-11-19Gzip's tarball in tar.gz instead of tar.lzMohammad Akhlaghi-27/+27
Until now, we were using a customized `tar.lz' tarball for Gzip. But on systems that don't have GNU Tar, this will cause a problem (non-GNU Tar doesn't recognize `.tar.lz'). So to keep things simple, we are using the customized gzip in `tar.gz' format. After the internal build of GNU Tar and Lzip, the default method of unpacking (`tar xf XXXXX.tar.XX') will work nicely on all the standard compression algorithms and we don't have to modify our commands based on the algorithm (nice feature of GNU Tar).
2018-11-18Pipeline also installs TeX live and necessary packagesMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+11
Since the final product of the pipeline is a LaTeX-created PDF file, it was necessary to also have LaTeX within the pipeline. With this commit, TeX Live is also built as part of the configuration and all the necessary packages to build the PDF are also installed and mentioned in the paper along with their versions.
2018-11-16Configure script checks if static libraries will be builtMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+49
The default Mac compiler has problems building static libraries. Since we are not yet building the GNU C Compiler as part of the pipeline, we'll have to rely on the host system's compiler. Therefore, a check is now added a the start of the configure script that will build a minimal program with the `-static' flag and if it fails, it will print a warning. Afterwards, none of the dependencies will be built with the `-static' flag.
2018-11-15Fixed small typo (missed a semi-colon)Mohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
A semi-colon was missed in defining the link for `zlib'. It is now added.
2018-11-15Binutils and other compressors also included in pipelineMohammad Akhlaghi-28/+96
To have better control over the build, GNU Binutils, Bzip2, GNU Gzip, and XZ Utils have also been added to the pipeline. Some other minor cleanups and fixes were also implemented throughout the process.
2018-11-15Static linking flag added to LDFLAGS, using special Bash scriptMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+2
Until now, when a package was to be built statically, we were adding the `--static' option to `CFLAGS'. This was the wrong place to put it! It should be in the linking step (thus `LDFLAGS'). Also, based on Bash's configure script, we are now using the more generic form of `-static' (single dash, not double dash). On the other hand, the `--disable-shared' option isn't available in many of the packages and it is highly redundant with the `-static' option, so it has been removed to avoid an extra warning in such packages.
2018-11-14Lzip and Tar also built as basic dependenciesMohammad Akhlaghi-39/+49
To ensure the easy unpacking and building of the programs, Lzip and Tar are now also build during the initial setup phase. Some minor corrections were also applied to make things cleaner and smoother.
2018-11-14Configuration stops if a dependency cannot be builtMohammad Akhlaghi-16/+4
Until now, we used semicolons in Make's Call function definitions to build the programs with GNU build system or CMake. Therefore, if any step of the process failed, the rest would be ignorant to it and pass. Now, we use `&&' to separate the different processing steps. In this way, we can be sure that if any of them fails (during configuration, or building for example), the pipeline will also stop and not continue to the next command (in the same recipe). Since the two Make Call functions were identical in the two `dependencies-basic.mk' and `dependencies.mk', they are now in one file to be imported in both. This bug was found by Raul Infante Sainz.
2018-11-14./configure and building of Bash and Make with more basic toolsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+128
After a test by Raúl Infante Sainz, we found out that the configure script and the Make script for Bash and Make are making too many assumptions on more recent versions of both. As a result, it couldn't be built. Therefore, the `configure' script was modified to not use more recent tools like `readlink' (to find the absolute address of a relative one). It was also re-organized to not have to read the configuration parameters from a text file. The parameters are directly read from the command-line and are written into the proper file afterwards. This removes the need to opening a text editor by the user (which also caused problems on Raúl's system). To fix the Make version issue, the building of Bash and Make are now done in a new Makefile (`reproduce/src/make/dependencies-basic.mk'). This file doesn't make many of the assumptions that were made in `dependencies.mk'. So it should hopefully work on any version of Make. To help in debugging, for now, the Makefile of configure, are asked to work on one thread (the `-j' option is commented in the `configure'). But after checks, we'll fix this.
