Something I just noticed is that it does not work to first build all of FEniCS with fenics-install.sh (HashDist) and then use fenics-dev-install.sh to build e.g. DOLFIN. The build itself works fine, but when one later runs an application, the DOLFIN built by HashDist will be picked up (because of the use of rpath).
So developers need to build only the dependencies of FEniCS using fenics-install.sh and then manually install FEniCS components using fenics-dev-install.sh. Johannes has just pushed a fix to fenics-install.sh that helps with this. There is now an option to only build the dependencies of FEniCS. The script will ask the following question when run: The following build types are supported: [0] development version of FEniCS [default] [1] latest stable version of FEniCS, currently 1.5 [2] only dependencies, including e.g. MPI, PETSc, Swig, Boost Please select build type [0, 1, 2]: Even if the installation script is not yet foolproof, at the time of release of 1.5, I would like to promote the use of fenics-install.sh as the default way to install FEniCS on the web page (next to the binaries/packages). Dorsal is no longer actively supported and we have been lacking a working and recommended install process of development versions for some time now. Any objections to this? -- Anders
