I am wondering if I am missing something regarding installing Chapel. Most systems use SCons, CMake, Tup, Autotools, Waf, or recently Bazel is getting some interest, for build. These build systems offer an installation capability so that you build, install, clean and can build and install for different architectures from the same filestore.
It might be worth noting that JetBrains CLion currently assumes you are using CMake – though I am trying to get them to support SCons as well. Eclipse assumes you are using Autotools but using SConsolidator can be used very nicely with SCons. Netbeans assumes you are using Autotools, but it can be hacked to use SCons insead. Which IDEs are Chapel developers using? (Emacs is an acceptable answer, VIM is not :-), though neither of these are really IDEs. Currently the Make build infrastructure seems to assume you will build in the filestore and run from that filestore. This is not entirely workable for people who have filestores shared across architectures (in my case Debian Sid, Fedora Rawhide and OSX). Currently, I build, copy chpl to ~/Built/bin and clean for the three architectures. Which is annoying. SCons and CMake could sort this out very quickly. Am I missing something by not capturing libchpl.a and libchplmalloc.a? (they get made but appear unused.) Are there other compilation products that should be installed for a full installation? -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
