We have made some progress on packaging FEniCS for Debian/Ubuntu... Thomas Lunde has done an excellent job setting up the initial version of the build scripts.
To try out the packages, add the following two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.fenics.org/debian/ unstable main deb-src http://www.fenics.org/debian/ unstable main You also need to add the key used to sign the packages to your list of trusted keys: wget http://www.fenics.org/debian/pubring.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - Then (after apt-get update) you should be able to install the following packages: libdolfin libdolfin-dev ferari (but see below) ffc fiat instant ufc Please help out finding/correcting any problems with these packages. We have opened a new mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] for this discussion. There are a number of issues to be solved. Here are some of the most important: 1. Building the package for SyFi fails, something with error: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_SyFi.so: Permission denied. Kent, can you take a look at this? 2. Building the packages for Swiginac fails, something with /usr/include/ginac/version.h:31: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'GiNaC' Ola, can you take a look at this? 3. Installing the package for FErari fails, something with File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/FErari/xpermutations.py", line 19 from __future__ import generators SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file Rob, can you take a look at this? 4. There hasn't be a release yet of Viper. Ola, could you make a release so I can add the package? 5. Packages for Puffin and Ko are missing. Puffin depends on MATLAB and I'm not sure it's worth the effort porting it to Octave. Is there any interest in keeping this project? What about Ko? There hasn't been a release in quite some time. Johan? To get the build scripts for the packages, just do hg clone http://www.fenics.org/dev/deb /Anders _______________________________________________ DOLFIN-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.fenics.org/mailman/listinfo/dolfin-dev
