2018-12-03Preference for shared library linkingMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
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-0/+2
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.
2018-11-29GCC is now installed by the pipelineMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+6
The pipeline now installs GCC and all its necessary prerequisites.
2018-11-28Better control of shared library linkingMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+2
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-0/+2
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-1/+1
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.
2018-11-25More generic naming conventionMohammad Akhlaghi-27/+0
Until now, we were keeping the input file within the reproduction pipeline's directories using the same name as the database/server. Now, we are using a short/summarized filename convention for the input dataset.
2018-11-25Pipeline now downloads and uses an input datasetMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+81
In most analysis situations (except for simulations), an input dataset is necessary, but that part of the pipeline was just left out and a general `SURVEY' variable was set and never used. So with this commit, we actually use a sample FITS file from the FITS standard webpage, show it (as well as its histogram) and do some basic calculations on it. This preparation of the input datasets is done in a generic way to enable easy addition of more datasets if necessary.
2018-11-22Ghostscript was updated to version 9.26Mohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
A new version of the ghostscript package is now available, so the used version in the pipeline (previously 9.25) has been incremented to 9.26.
2018-11-19Removed GNU Binutils, CMake's built with its own bootstrapMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+0
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.
2018-11-18Pipeline also installs TeX live and necessary packagesMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+15
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.
2018-11-17TeX Live also built within the pipeline (no extra packages yet)Mohammad Akhlaghi-1/+30
TeX Live is now also downloaded and built by the reproduction pipeline. Currently on the basic (TeX and LaTeX) source is built but no extra packages, so the PDF building will fail. We'll add them in the next commit.
2018-11-15Binutils and other compressors also included in pipelineMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+4
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/+1
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-0/+2
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.
2018-11-14./configure and building of Bash and Make with more basic toolsMohammad Akhlaghi-89/+4
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.
2018-11-13Most library versions are now also checkedMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
All the libraries that define their version string as a macro in their headers are now also checked in `reproduce/src/make/initialize.mk'. Also, the CFITSIO tarball now follows the same versioning style as the rest of the tarballs: a script is added to convert the version string into what is included in the tarball.
2018-11-13Version of programs checked on each run of pipelineMohammad Akhlaghi-8/+9
The version of all programs is now checked in `reproduce/make/src/initialize.mk' and the pipeline won't complete if any of the program versions change from those listed in `reproduce/config/pipeline/dependency-versions.mk'. Since the pipeline is systematically checking all program versions, we don't need Gnuastro's `--onlyversion' option any more. So it (and all references to it) have been removed.
2018-11-12Libcurl, Git, CMake, TIFF, Zlib also built at configure timeMohammad Akhlaghi-20/+26
During the configuration step several new programs that were necessary for a more complete controlled environment are now also downloaded and built statically.
2018-11-12Dependencies built at the start of the pipelineMohammad Akhlaghi-14/+33
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.
2018-02-27Default PDF now uses PGFPlots and BibLaTeXMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+2
Making plots and including references are integral parts of a scientific paper. Therefore to demonstrate how cleanly they can be used within the pipeline, they are now used to produce the final PDF. To use PGFPlots a random dataset is made (using AWK's random function) and is plotted using PGFPlots. The minimum and maximum values of the dataset are also included in the text to further show how such calculations can go into the macros and text. For the references, the NoiseChisel paper was added as a reference to cite when using this pipeline along with the MUSE UDF paper I, which uses this pipeline for two sections. Following this discussion, citation is also discussed in `README.md` and the NoiseChisel paper is also added as a published work with a reproduction pipeline.
2018-02-20Necessary programs checked at configure timeMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+14
The mandatory and optional (for example downloader) dependencies are now checked at configure time so users can know what they may be missing before the processing starts. Since its recommended to be run in parallel, it can be hard to find what you are missing after running the pipeline. As part of these checks, the program to use for downloading is now also set at configure time, it is only used as a pre-defined (in `LOCAL.mk') variable during Make's processing. A small title was also added to discus the pipeline architecture that will be filled in the next commit.
2018-02-15Minor typo corrections in Gnuastro's config fileMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
Two minor typo corrections in the comments were made in Gnuastro's configuration file to make it more clear.
2018-02-15Gnuastro's memory mapping is now a local variableMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+24
As described in the commens above `MINMAPSIZE' of `LOCAL.mk.in', the amount of memory to map to HDD/SSD or keep in RAM is a local issue and not relevant to the pipeline's results. So it is now defined in a `gnuastro-local.conf' file. To keep the Makefiles clean, this file is created by the `./configure' script. To do this cleanly, the `./configure' script was also almost fully re-written with better functionality now.
2018-02-15Choice to build final PDF removed from LOCAL settingsMohammad Akhlaghi-19/+14
The previous change where we had set the building of the PDF as a local (and thus not version controlled) setting was not good, because different commits might be made without the high-level preparations for the final PDF (especially during the initial/testing phases of a research). Therefore, if the runner of the pipeline is ignorant to this, they may hit some errors in LaTeX which can be frustrating. To have a clean reproduction, it is thus necessary to have the choice of pdf-building under version control along with the rest of the pipeline.
2018-02-14Sanity checks added, local settings now in LOCAL.mk.inMohammad Akhlaghi-18/+23
The choice of whether or not to make a PDF is now also a local system issue, not a general pipeline issue. So it has been put in the new `LOCAL.mk.in' file which replaces the old `DIRECTORIES.mk.in'. All local settings (things that when changed should not be version-controlled) should be defined in this file. A sanity check was added to find if `./configure' has been run before `make' or not (using the `LOCAL.mk' file which is an output of the configuration step). If `LOCAL.mk' doesn't exist, an error will be printed informing the user that `./configure' needs to be run first. The configure script also provides more clear and hopefully better information on its purpose and what must be done. Since `make clean', it is executed even when `./configure' hasn't been run, it will only delete the build directory and its contents when local configuration has been done. A `distclean' target was also added which will first "clean" the pipeline, then delete the `LOCAL.mk.in' file. To allow rules like `make' to be run even if `BDIR' isn't defined (`./configure' hasn't been run yet), a fake `BDIR' is defined in such cases.
2018-02-07First commit to the reproduction pipeline templateMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+131
Let's start working on this pipeline independently with this first commit. It is based on my previous experiences, but I had never made a skeleton of a pipeline before, it was always within a working analysis. But now that the pipeline has a separate repository for its self, we will be able to work on it and use it as a base for future work and modify it to make it even better. Hopefully in time (and with the help of others), it will grow and become much more robust and useful.
