src release [message #20503]

I would like to start a discussion about 'true' source package.

I believe that at this moment, we are close to the ability to build U++ on most modern posix system with X11.

Please check the latest version, especially if you have anything else than ubuntu or even linux Wink

http://code.google.com/p/upp-mirror/downloads/list

I believe we do not need ./configure; the only reason I can see for that is warning about missing libraries - if somebody is willing to create such script, I would be happy to add it.

BTW, to resolve problems with different directory structures, I think one possible solution is to put ALL possible paths to include/lib lists - am I right? Smile

What is sort of missing is 'make install'.

I guess 'make' should call external script there; and my initial plan is as follows:

- if it is run as root, it would install into /usr/local

- if not, it would install into '~'; if there is 'bin' in '~', put theide there, otherwise to '~/'.

Any more ideas?

Whether to remain with the binary packages?
Or now remain only source? Sad

You don't need a configure script if you build with a recent version of gcc.
Actually upp can't be built with a lot of proprietary compiler on many systems.

Excatly. All we need to know is in predefined macros (and that is why I have moved to Core/config.h too...).

Well, I guess there are not many proprietary compilers left Smile

Hi Mirek,

I will check source release this week.
Concerning the install script, I would say we should respect a user specified make define for install path.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what you mean by that?

In any case, I expect and respect alterations to the src package - I will be happy to improve the thing over time.

Well, make is there, ready to be edited Smile

Note that there are two makefiles. The real makefile, exported using theide, and 'user' makefile that calls this hidden one. User makefile is not exported, means you can easily edit it. install belongs there.

I know, I prepared these for the latest release Wink

.
What I want to be sure is that the user has full control and that we do not introduce something like if a then install there else if b then install somewhere else.

For me this adds more confusion then is needed. We should rather use a default install path like users home dir and the mechanism to alter this install path quiet easily.
