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.

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.
|
|
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.

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.

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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
During the configuration step several new programs that were necessary for
a more complete controlled environment are now also downloaded and built
statically.
|
|
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.
