Today I decided to comprehensively test PLplot because it has been a long time since I did that, and there is a new CMake version cmake-2.8.11-rc3 that is about to get released as cmake-2.8.11 unless cmake users (such as us) can find any issues.
After cmake-2.8.11-rc3 was downloaded, built (using the bootstrap method), and installed, I did the comprehensive test as follows: time (nice -19 scripts/comprehensive_test.sh --do_test_interactive no) (I turned off the interactive testing since otherwise I would have had to babysit the test clicking on many GUI's to get the interactive tests completed.) That comprehensive test required a number of minor PLplot fixups to be made (see my recent commits) which reaffirms that these comprehensive tests are worth doing. After those changes, the above run of comprehensive_test.sh took 51 minutes to complete (and from prior notes) on my entry-level PC and requires about 4GB of disk space as a high-water mark to store the results of each of the many components of the tests that are done before the resulting files are cleaned. There were about 290M of files left at the end of the comprehensive test. To look for meaningful error messages in those tests, I ran find ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/ -name "*.out*" | \ xargs grep -i error |grep -v test.error That shows there are linking errors for the case of the static library build + traditional (Make + pkg-config) build of the installed examples. This used to work fine, but I guess the Debian wheezy toolchain just doesn't handle this case properly any more (or takes more care with linking of code generated from a variety of languages). Note, I got the same bad results for this case when using cmake-2.8.10.2 so this is not a cmake regression. Andrew, would you be willing to take a look? In contrast to the traditional build of the installed examples, the CMake build system for these installed examples works fine for the static library build. So it appears we could fix up these linking issues for the traditional build by following what is done for the cmake-based build of the installed examples. I also looked for warnings in the comprehensive test results and got the following results: software@raven> find ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/ -name "*.out*" | \ xargs grep -i warn |grep -v imultilib |grep -v "PLPLOT WARNING" | \ grep -v perl |grep -v AGG ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/shared/output_tree/installed_make_noninteractive.out:WARNING: Some PostScript or stdout results were different ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/shared/output_tree/make_noninteractive.out:WARNING: Some PostScript or stdout results were different ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/shared/output_tree/ctest.out:25: WARNING: Some PostScript or stdout results were different ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/shared/output_tree/make.out:sip: Deprecation warning: /home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/plplot_allura/bindings/qt_gui/pyqt4/plplot_pyqt4.sip:25: %Module version number should be specified using the 'version' argument ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/shared/output_tree/make.out:/home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/comprehensive_test_disposeable/shared/build_tree/config.h:55:0: warning: "HAVE_FREETYPE" redefined [enabled by default] ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/shared/output_tree/make.out:/home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/plplot_allura/bindings/tk/plserver.c:134:9: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘Tcl_SetResult’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/shared/output_tree/traditional_make_noninteractive.out:WARNING: Some PostScript or stdout results were different ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/nondynamic/output_tree/installed_make_noninteractive.out:WARNING: Some PostScript or stdout results were different ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/nondynamic/output_tree/make_noninteractive.out:WARNING: Some PostScript or stdout results were different ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/nondynamic/output_tree/cmake.out:-- WARNING: ENABLE_DYNDRIVERS is OFF so force PLD_extqt to be OFF ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/nondynamic/output_tree/cmake.out:-- WARNING: PLD_extqt is OFF so setting ENABLE_qt to OFF. ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/nondynamic/output_tree/cmake.out:-- WARNING: ENABLE_qt is OFF so setting ENABLE_pyqt4 to OFF. ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/nondynamic/output_tree/ctest.out:25: WARNING: Some PostScript or stdout results were different ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/nondynamic/output_tree/make.out:/home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/comprehensive_test_disposeable/nondynamic/build_tree/config.h:55:0: warning: "HAVE_FREETYPE" redefined [enabled by default] ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/nondynamic/output_tree/make.out:/home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/plplot_allura/bindings/tk/plserver.c:134:9: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘Tcl_SetResult’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/nondynamic/output_tree/traditional_make_noninteractive.out:WARNING: Some PostScript or stdout results were different ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/static/output_tree/installed_make_noninteractive.out:WARNING: Some PostScript or stdout results were different ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/static/output_tree/make_noninteractive.out:WARNING: Some PostScript or stdout results were different ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/static/output_tree/cmake.out:-- WARNING: Java requires shared libraries.

That latter is because the changes to examples/c/x16c.c have not been propagated only to examples/c++ so far. Here is the detailed report covering that: c++ Missing examples : Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : f95 Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : java Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : octave Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : python Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : tcl Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : ada Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : adathick Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : ocaml Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : lua Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : d Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : In sum these comprehensive tests indicate no issues for cmake-2.8.11-rc3, serious linking issues for the traditional build of the installed examples for the static library case (these occur also for cmake-2.8.10.2); less serious warnings detailed above which should nevertheless be fixed, and example 16 propagation issues which should be fixed.
