Aleric - this seems like a perfectly reasonable improvement to include
in our general build improvements task for this sprint.
If you would please prepare a public clone of viewer-development in
which this patch is successfully applied, I'll get it reviewed from
there and pulled into viewer-development.
Thanks for a very well formulated request.
Status: reviewed by Merov, committed to snowglobe 1.4, 1.5 and 2.1.
Background:
When developing many viewers in parallel (and snowstorm with it's many
clones that need to be checked out
won't change that), it becomes necessary to automate certain things
with scripts. One of the things those
scripts need to know is the current build directory.
However, the build directory is a function of the configuration of the
viewer. In order to remove human
maintenance (and possible errors therein) it is desirable to have an
automated way to convert configuration
to build directory name.
I wrote such scripts and they "break down" with the current
viewer-development:
hikaru:/usr/src/secondlife/viewers/snowstorm/test-20100818>source
env.source
Error: unknown subcommand 'printbuilddirs'
(run 'develop.py --help' for help)
CONFIGURE_OPTS = "--type=Release -m64 --standalone"
CMAKE_DEFS = "-DLL_TESTS:BOOL=ON -DPACKAGE:BOOL=ON
-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL=ON"
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH = "/sl:/sl/usr"
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH =
"/usr/src/secondlife/llqtwebkit/install2/include:/usr/src/secondlife/viewers/snowstorm/test-20100818/include:/sl/usr/include"
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH = "/usr/src/secondlife/llqtwebkit/install2/lib:"
Sprint plan:
Port this patch to viewer-development for the next sprint and test it.
Before patch:
hikaru:/usr/src/secondlife/viewers/snowstorm/test-20100818/linden/indra>./develop.py
--type=Release -m64 --standalone printbuilddirs
setting DISTCC_DIR to
/usr/src/secondlife/viewers/snowstorm/test-20100818/linden/indra/.distcc
Error: unknown subcommand 'printbuilddirs'
(run 'develop.py --help' for help)
After patch:
This should print (on this box): viewer-linux-x86_64-release
Please let me know if anything is wrong or missing in this post,
Aleric
