Build tool

Revision as of 12:35, 17 January 2007 by Sanakan (Talk | contribs) (added todo, redefined "steps")


Overview

The whole build process of EiffelStudio is rather tedious at the moment. This project aims to simplify this by various means:

  • Setup checker
  • (modular) Build scripts
  • Delivery scripts

This will lead to a better overall build infrastructure, automated (nightly) builds, and things alike. We work on our own branch of the sourcecode, but will sync it from time to time with SVN HEAD.

Goals

We aim to have a compact build process by using only Eiffel related tools (mainly geant scripts) and thus minimizing the needed (alien) tools to get an EiffelStudio compilation going.

Steps

  • produce a one-click-and-go script for easy installation
  • get rid of windows dependency for bash
  • remove script-only tools like finish_freezing, Makefile.sh, etc.

Done

  • first draft of geant scripts to build c-libraries
  • first draft of setup-checker tool

Milestones

Todo

  • makefile/batchfile for getting the installation started (for users unexperienced with gobo/geant)
  • expand setup-checker
    • find more dependencies on windows
  • automatical use of existing gobo-installations
