Until now, unlike most other programs, in Gnuastro we would run `make
check', but this causes a crash on some systems, because of its
BuildProgram test: a linking error because the library isn't installed
yet. Which is natural in cases like this (and must be corrected in future
Gnuastro releases).
With this commit, the checks of Gnuastro have been removed.

Until now, OpenMPI was being installed without any dependency. This was
fine because it would indeed build. But the moment you tried loading
something that depends on it (for example `mpi4py' through `astropy'), you
would get an error complaining that SSH isn't present.
With this commit, the pipeline now also installs OpenSSH to solve this
problem.
|
|
Until now, we were relying on WCSLIB's internal checking and linking with
CFITSIO. But on one macOS system (not others that had no problem!), we
noticed that it complains with undefined symbol linking errors to CFITSIO
libraries.
With this commit, as a fast/ugly solution, we are explicity adding
`-lcfitsio' to WCSLIB's `LIBS' variable so all binaries are linked with it
automatically. We'll be in touch with the WCSLIB author to see if a better
solution can be found.

Some of the software tarballs are directly available on their webpage (for
example due to build problems on systems, where we had to clone the
software and build its tarball ourselves until the next release). Until
now, only for these software, these tarballs were hosted on
`http://akhlaghi.org/src'. But now, I have moved a clone of the software
backup repository (including all its software) to
`http://akhlaghi.org/reproduce-software'.
To be more clear and have a single place for the backup software, the URL
of those software has also been updated in the project source.

Until now the only way to define the environment of the Make recipes was
through the exported Make variables (mostly in `initialize.mk' for the
analysis steps for example). However, there is only so much you can do with
environment variables! In some situations you want slightly more
complicated environment control, like setting an alias or running of
scripts (things that are commonly done in the `~/.bashrc' file of users to
configure their interactive, non-login shells).
With this commit, a `reproduce/software/bash/bashrc.sh' has been defined
for this job (which is currently empty!). Every major Make step of the
project adds this file as the `BASH_ENV' environment variable, so the shell
that is created to execute a recipe first executes this file, then the
recipe. Each top-level Makefile also defines a `PROJECT_STATUS' environment
variable that enables users to limit their envirnoment setup based on the
condition it is being setup (in particular in the early phase of
`basic.mk', where the user can't make any assumption about the programs and
has to write a portable shell script).
|
|
Until now, there was no check on the integrity of the contents of the
downloaded/copied software tarballs, we only relied on the tarball
name. This could be bad for reproducibility and security, for example on
one server the name of a tarball may be the same but with different
content.
With this commit, the SHA512 checksums of all the software are stored in
the newly created `checksums.mk' (similar to how the versions are stored in
the `versions.mk'). The resulting variable is then defined for each
software and after downloading/copying the file we check to see if the new
tarball has the same checksum as the stored value. If it doesn't the script
will crash with an error, informing the user of the problem.
The only limitation now is a bootstrapping problem: if the host system
doesn't already an `sha512sum' executable, we will not do any checksum
verification until we install our `sha512sum' (as part of GNU
Coreutils). All the tarballs downloaded after GNU Coreutils are built will
have their checksums validated. By default almost all GNU/Linux systems
will have a usable `sha512sum' (its part of GNU Coreutils after all for a
long time: from the Coreutils Changelog file atleast since 2013).
This completes task #15347.

Until now, to work on a project, it was necessary to `./configure' it and
build the software. Then we had to run `.local/bin/make' to run the project
and do the analysis every time. If the project was a shared project between
many users on a large server, it was necessary to call the `./for-group'
script.
This way of managing the project had a major problem: since the user
directly called the lower-level `./configure' or `.local/bin/make' it was
not possible to provide high-level control (for example limiting the
environment variables). This was especially noticed recently with a bug
that was related to environment variables (bug #56682).
With this commit, this problem is solved using a single script called
`project' in the top directory. To configure and build the project, users
can now run these commands:
$ ./project configure
$ ./project make
To work on the project with other users in a group these commands can be
used:
$ ./project configure --group=GROUPNAME
$ ./project make --group=GROUPNAME
The old options to both configure and make the project are still valid. Run
`./project --help' to see a list. For example:
$ ./project configure -e --host-cc
$ ./project make -j8
The old `configure' script has been moved to
`reproduce/software/bash/configure.sh' and is called by the new `./project'
script. The `./project' script now just manages the options, then passes
control to the `configure.sh' script. For the "make" step, it also reads
the options, then calls Make. So in the lower-level nothing has
changed. Only the `./project' script is now the single/direct user
interface of the project.
On a parallel note: as part of bug #56682, we also found out that on some
macOS systems, the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable has to be set
to blank. This is no problem because RPATH is automatically set in macOS
and the executables and libraries contain the absolute address of the
libraries they should link with. But having `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' can
conflict with some low-level system libraries and cause very hard to debug
linking errors (like that reported in the bug report).
This fixes bug #56682.
|
|
Until now we were only setting the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
for GNU/Linux systems. But macOS systems use the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH'.
With this commit, for better control over the environment, we are also
fixing `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' in all the places that we are setting the
general environment variables.
|
|
Some bugs have been fixed in the new version of WCSLIB, so it has been
updated in the template.
|
|
More than two releases and bug fixes have been made to libgit2. So we are
now using a more recent version in the template.
|
|
Configure script: when `texlive-ready-tlmgr' is not created, it is similar
to not having installed TeXLive. A check was added so in this scenario the
`./configure' script doesn't crash.
high-level.mk: `cairo' and `pixman' are now installed in parallel and with
`V=1' (so the full compilation and linking command is printed).
|
|
In one of the last few commits, the commands in the recipe of libgit2 was
merged with `&&' so it stops if anything fails. But I had forgot to add a
`;' at the end of the `install_name_tool' command. This is corrected with
this commit.
|
|
While doing a clean build, several issues were found in the pipeline and
corrected. The main issue was that with the recent installation of
`libiconv', the GCC standard C++ library depends on `libiconv', so we need
to explicity add an `-liconv' to any C++ compilation.
The other corrected points are:
- The C++ compiler is now explicitly defined in `CXX'.
- libgit2 and WCSLIB's recipes weren't using `&&' between statements, so
if there was an error, it would still build the target!
- The CMake bootstrapping script now builds much faster in parallel.
|

Until now, we were using the `--enable-single' configure-time option of
FFTW to build its single-precision library. The reason was that according
to the output of `./configure --help', this was equivalent to
`--enable-float'. However, the single precision library wasn't being built.
As a result, on systems that already had it, SExtractor would use the
system's library and on other systems, it would simply not pass the
configure step.
With this commit, we are now using `--enable-float' which fixes this
problem and installs the `libfftw3f*' libraries (showing that it is not
equal to `--enable-single'!). Also, some optimization flags were added to
hopefully make it faster.
This issue was found thanks to Zahra Sharbaf and Hamed Altafi.
This fixes bug #56588.
|
|
Until now, we were letting the TeXLive installer use the default
CTAN-chosen mirror based on the host. But in many cases, this is not
efficient and sometimes those servers don't work.
With this commit, we manually set the server to use (`rit.edu'), which is
relatively fast and up to date. In this way, until we build TeXLive from
source, every user will be using the same CTAN mirror.
|
|
Until now, we weren't explicitly setting the C and Fortran compiler
environment variables (`CC' and `F77'). As a result, if the user's system
had already set them, there would be a problem (and the system's compilers
would be used).
With this commit, we are explicitly setting these two environment variables
at the start of `high-level.mk'.
This bug was found after a discussion with Elham Saremi.
|
|
While reviewing Prasenjit's commits, I noticed that we had forgot to add
the citation for TIDES, also to make things clear, the program/library
build rules are now sorted alphabetically.
Finally, I noticed that after building the TiKZ PDF figures, it is crashing
(like on Prasenjit's computer). After looking around, I noticed its because
we were setting the of the `TEXINPUTS' environment variable to be the
installed TeX Live directory (which was ultimately redundant because by
default TeX will look into where it was installed). The important thing is
just that we remove any possible value the host system has, not to set new
directories.
|
|
TIDES is an ODE integrator with multiple-precision arithmetic.
|
|
The comment above Gnuastro's build rule is not longer relevant, so it has
been removed.
|
|
The recent work by Raul to import Imfit is now merged into the master
branch. Only a few minor conflicts came up due to the update with CFITSIO
(that Raul also done in parallel on this branch).
|
|
While trying to debug the installation of Imfit, we found out
that libcurl doesn't have rpath and is thus linking with the
host system's libraries. So rpath is now manually added to the
build of libcurl. We also found out that Imfit executables
don't have rpath, so it was added to them too.
|
|
Until now, TeXlive would only attempt to download/update LaTeX packages,
but after some time, it will be necessary for it to update itself. When
this happens, it complains about running it with `update --self'.
To fix this problem, before installing/updating the LaTeX packages, we will
first update tlmgr in any case.
Also, we weren't removing the TeXlive package version file before appending
the values to it. So it was just repeating the packages every time it was
updated. With this commit, it is being removed on every new build.
Finally, the version of Git was updated to its most recent version.
|
|
Until this commit, 'imfit' was installed using proper flags in order to
use our own libraries. However, it looks first of all to the default
system. As a consecuence, `imfit' program was linked to the host system
libraries, even when we told to use our own libraries!!
With this commit, the installation of `imfit' has been modified in order
to remove the default paths already set in the `SConstruct' script. By
doing this, only our paths are take into account for compiling the
program. It has been tested on Mac OS laptop and it works fine. Test on
GNU/Linux systems remain before merge into the main project branch.
|
|
Until this commit, `fftw' was building single precission float library
because `scamp' had problem on using the default double precission
library. However,`imfit' and maybe other programs will use double
precission float libraries.
With this commit, `fftw' installation is done twice in order to build
single and double precission float libraries. It does not complain and
goes up to the end without crashing. However, more tests are needed in
order to ensure that there is not problem on having both libraries
because in principle, they share the same header file and that could
cause problems.
|
|
`cfitsio' was recently updated and it cames up with a problem when
trying to build shared libraries (on Mac OS system laptop). This is
because the `configure' script for building `cfitsio' include by default
`rpath'.
With this commit, this issue is fixed by modifying the installation of
`cfitsio'. Using `sed', each ocurrence of `@rpath' in `configure' is
replaced by `$(ildir)'. Once it has been done, the installation of
`cfitsio' goes as normal.
In this commit, the version of the `cfitsio' has been also updated to
the most recent one.
|
|
With this commit, I have corrected a typo in the installation of
`imfit'. In principle it is working on Mac OS system but when I tried to
install it in GNU/Linux system it crashed. It complains about a problem
with the `cfitsio' library:
/pathto/libcfitsio.a: error adding symbols: File format not recognized
As in the last commits done by Mohammad in the project, `cfitsio'
installation has been upgraded and also the installation has been
modified, I am going to try this new version. I will also check if it is
a problem about dynamic/static library.
It also seems that the installation is taking libraries and variables
from the host system, so I will check that everything used is from our
own programs/libraries.
|
|
Until now, CFITSIO had several peculiar features which needed special
attention: 1) Its tarball didn't have a `.' in the version name and would
sometimes have extra `0's. 2) When unpacked it was just `cfitsio'. 3) It
hard coded the directory to search for cURL library. All of these forced us
to do a lot of extra steps for CFITSIO.
So I got in touch with them and fortunately they were very open to
correcting these issues and with version 3.47 all such issues have been
addressed in the tarball. Thanks to these changes, with this commit,
CFITSIO's build rule is now very similar to many other programs.
I also noticed that it has an optional `--with-bz2' feature to enable
unpacking `.fits.bz2' files. So this feature is also added.
|
|
Until this commit, `imfit' paper was not included into the
acknowledgements.
With this commit, a bib tex file for `imfit' has been added. So, now it
is properly cited into the final paper.
|
|
With this commit, `imfit' has been included into the project. As described
in the official webpage (http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~erwin/code/imfit/):
Imfit is a program for fitting astronomical images -- especially images
of galaxies, though it can in principle be used for fitting other
sources.
This program uses the `scons' program to build itself (not the traditional
GNU `configure' and `make' system). I have tested it by using an example
that can be found in the `examples' directory of the decompressed
tarball. It works fine without any error on my Mac OS system.
|
|
With this commit, SCons has been included into the project. As in the
official webpage of this program says:
SCons is an Open Source software construction tool—that is, a
next-generation build tool. Think of SCons as an improved,
cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility with integrated
functionality similar to autoconf/automake and compiler caches such as
ccache. In short, SCons is an easier, more reliable and faster way to
build software.
The motivation for including this software into the project is because
there are some software that use this system for the installation. In
particular, the necessity of installing it comes from Imfit. This is an
astronomical software that uses this system so that is why it has been
included into the project. In principle it is simple, and I have tested
it on Mac OS sytem without any problem.
|
|
With this commit, LibYAML library has been added. This library is a
prerequisite of the Python package PyYAML, which is widely used in the
Python community when configuration scripts are needed.
|
|
By default (when you run `make' within CFITSIO), it only builds a static
library. So until now, the template would only install a static version of
this library.
To be more clear about which libraries are used during the linking of
programs that use CFITSIO, it would be helpful to have shared library
versions also. Also, if the system has problems with static libraries (like
macOS systems), then it won't go looking outside the template to link with
them (these paths are hardcoded in the linker, which we don't build on
macOS and just use the system's tools).
With this commit, we are explicity running `make shared' in the CFITSIO
installation to have shared CFITSIO also. I also removed the old `static'
element (which we don't use anymore in any of the programs and have to
remove some time later!).
|
|
With this commit, ImageMagick software has been added into the project.
This software is useful to deal and treat images from the command line.
Since it is widely used and a lot of other programs rely on it, it is
worth to have it into the project.
|
|
Until this commit, we were installing `netpbm' without disabling the X
Windows System in GNU/Linux. That is the default option in the configure
step of `netpbm'. However, we are not installing the necessary libraries
(X11) and headers for that. As a consecuence, when testing in a system
where we don't have these libraries/headers (Ubuntu 14.04), it crashes.
With this commit, we disable the X Windows System option in `netpbm' by
giving the answer `none' to one of the last answers to that question in
the configure step.
|
|
Until this commit, we were installing `cairo' without disabling the X
Windows System. That is the default option in the configure step of
`cairo'. However, we are not installing the necessaries libraries (X11)
and headers for that. As a consecuence, when testing in a system where
we don't have these libraries/headers (Ubuntu 14.04), it crashes.
With this commit, we disable the X Windows System option in `cairo'
configure step by setting the option `--with-x=no'.
|
|
In the last imported work about fixing all backslashes, the extension of
`netpbm' tarball was not the correct one. Now we are using `.tar.gz'
instead of `.tgz'.
With this commit, we fix this typo by replacing the `.tgz' by `.tar.gz'
in the rule of `netpbm'.
|
|
In the recent correction of backslashes, I had missed adding an `&&' before
the `rm' command of the generic CMake building rule (`cbuild' of
`build-rules.mk'). With this commit, this has been corrected.
A multi-threaded Make was also added to build OpenMPI (which takes long and
is often built alone because it takes so long and other things depend on
it) and the HDF5 library.
|
|
The TAB character wasn't used in the second line of the recipe to build
SCAMP. This has been corrected with this commit.
|
|
Recently, after the installation of Coreutils, we added a step to manually
run PatchELF over all the contents of the `$(ibdir)'. However, after a
fresh test, this method failed: because while PatchELF was updating `mv',
another program that was using `mv' couldn't do so and crashed.
To fix this problem, Coreutils is now installed in a dummy directory also
and the exact files that need `rpath' are identified and PatchELF is run on
them (to be clean). Also, higher-level `basic.mk' software (higher-level
than Bash), were re-organized so they depend on Coreutils. With this, we
are no sure that when Coreutils is being built, it is the only program that
is being built and PatchELF won't interfere with any other program.
Also, OpenSSL and CMake were set to be bulit in parallel to speed up their
build.
|
|
Especially because of the new convention regarding backslashes, there were
many conflicts that are now fixed. But none were substantial.
|
|
When we need to quote the new-line character we end the line with a
backslash (`\'). Until now, our convention has been to put all such
backslashes under each other to help in visual inspection.
But this causes a lot of confusion in version control: if only one line's
length is larger, the whole block will be marked as changed and thus makes
it hard to visually see the actual change. It also makes debuging the code
(adding some temporary lines) hard.
With this commit, I went through all the files and tried to fix all such
cases so only a single white space character is between the last command
character and the backslash. Where there was an empty line (ending with a
backslash, to help in visually separating the code into blocks), I put the
backslash right under the previous line's.
This completes task #15259.
|
|
In some rules there were some spaces when we should use TAB, and
also the other way around. We were using TAB instead using spaces.
With this commit, we fix that spaces/TAB in the necessary rules.
|
|
With this commit, the copyright information of some files have been
modify in order to include the work of Raul Infante-Sainz.
|
|
Until this commit, we had a problem in the installation of
Astrometry-net in Mac OS systems. During the runing of the Makefile, it
stopped at the reporting stage because it tried to do a couple of steps
that in Mac OS are not possible:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
$ free
The reason is that `/proc/cpuinfo' and `free' doesn't exist in Mac OS.
With this commit, we override these two steps. Since they are only for
reporting, they are not mandatory. So, we avoid doing them by using
`sed' before running the Makefile.
|
|
Until now, we installed `netpbm' by setting the default paths to
libraries and headers. That worked fine for GNU/Linux systems, however,
in Mac OS systems we have to explicity say to `netpbm' questions what
are the paths to the libraries and headers. We found this problem
because we tried to run `solve-field' to obtain the astrometry of some
images, and then it goes to use `pnmfile', a program that failed because
it was not properly linked with `libnetpmb'.
With this commit, we fix this problem by answering properly the
questions in the configure step of `netpbm' and setting explicity where
we want to place the libraries and headers. With this commit, we also
update `netpbm' version. To do that, we have to download the last
version, for which it doesn't exist a tarball. So, we built this tarball
and put it in the Mohammad's webpage.
|
|
Until this commit, FFTW was installed by default, without the single
precission option. However, when installing `sextractor' in a new system
we found an error in the installation complaining about not having
single precission files of FFTW. More explicity the error was: "FFTW
single precision library files not found in [...]".
With this commit, we fix this problem by passing the option
`--enable-single' in the installation of FFTW.
|
|
Until now, to specify which high-level software you want the project to
contain, it was necessary to go into the `high-level.mk' Makefile that is
complicated and can create bugs.
With this commit, a new `reproduce/software/config/installation/TARGETS.mk'
file has been created that is easily/cleanly in charge of documenting the
final high-level software that must be built for the project.
Also, until now, FFTW was set as a dependency of Numpy while we couldn't
actually get Numpy to use it! It was just there for future reference and to
justify its build rule. But now that many software won't be built and there
is no problem with having rules even though a project might not use them,
it has been removed.
|
|
Git and Metastore are very basic and fundamental tools for the template, so
to keep things clean (let the `high-level.mk' software only represent
optional software in the template), these two software (and their
dependencies: `cURL' and `Libbsd') will now be built in `basic.mk'.
|
|
Until this commit, ATLAS was a prerequisite of Scamp. The documentation
says that. However, we have been able to install Scamp without having
ATLAS installed. As a consecuence, ATLAS does not have to be a
prerequisite of Scamp anymore.
With this commit, we remove ATLAS as prerequisite of Scamp. We also put
available software in the template as optional because not all people
are going to use these software.
|
|
With this commit, we add SCAMP into the project. This program is part of
the Astromatic software and the main purpose is to make the fine
astrometry and the distorsion correction astronomical images.
In principle, SCAMP needs ATLAS library to be able to work (that is what
the documentation says). However, we had some problems with ATLAS
libraries on Mac OS system, and due to that, we set the option
`--enable-openblas' in the configure step. By doing that, we are be able
to install SCAMP with no problems.
One dependency of SCAMP is `cdsclient', it has been also added with this
commit. The `cdsclient' package is a set of C and shell routines which can
be built on Unix stations or PCs running Linux, which once compiled
allow to query some databases located at CDS or on mirrors over the
network.
