From 334af0e29a950873a19f958b0e47d847808e8910 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammad Akhlaghi Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2020 22:43:11 +0100 Subject: Configure step: compiler checks done before basic settings Until now, the project would first ask for the basic directories, then it would start testing the compiler. But that was problematic because the build directory can come from a previous setting (with `./project configure -e'). Also, it could confuse users to first ask for details, then suddently tell them that you don't have a working C library! We also need to store the CPATH variable in the `LOCAL.conf' because in some cases, the compiler won't work without it. With this commit, the compiler checking has been moved at the start of the configure script. Instead of putting the test program in the build directory, we now make a temporary hidden directory in the source directory and delete that directory as soon as the tests are done. In the process, I also noticed that the copyright year of the two hidden files weren't updated and corrected them. --- .gitignore | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to '.gitignore') diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 379e704..9bce289 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ # To help readability, please add new files based on the length of the # line you wish to add. # -# Copyright (C) 2018-2019 Mohammad Akhlaghi +# Copyright (C) 2018-2020 Mohammad Akhlaghi # # Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, # are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright @@ -43,3 +43,4 @@ tex/pipeline LOCAL_tmp.mk LOCAL_old.mk gnuastro-local.conf +.compiler_test_dir_please_delete \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.1
