Dear all, after the 6.3.0 release, we already had a few problem reports on configurations we could not test.
Therefore, we worked this week to reactivate our build test suite, and we are proud to report that it is running again now. Build test results (http://www.dealii.org/~archiver/cgi-bin/build.pl) are linked from the deal.II homepage. The great thing about the build tests: everybody can participate. Therefore, if you have a configuration you do not see listed there, we would like to encourage you to submit build test results on a regular basis. This is in particular true, if you have a Mac or Windows (cygwin) system. It would be extremely helpful if we could get some volunteers, who do this on a regular basis. Running the build tests is easy and is described here: http://www.dealii.org/developer/development/testsuite.html It is just like this: go to a directory with a checked-out svn version of deal.II. In order to have a clean and up-to-date installation, run make distclean svn update Then, you run the build test by using make build-test BUILDTESTFLAGS='<config-flags>' where <config-flags> contains all the arguments you would use in your call to configure, for instance any of those make build-test make build-test BUILDTESTFLAGS='--with-umfpack --with-lapack' make build-test BUILDTESTFLAGS='--disable-threads --disable-shared' This will run the build test and leave the result in the local file build-test-log, which you send by email to [email protected]. Again, if you have some computing time to spare, for instance at night, your help in this matter can contribute considerably to the improvement of deal.II. Best, Wolfgang & Guido _______________________________________________ dealii mailing list http://poisson.dealii.org/mailman/listinfo/dealii
