File structure for release area

Simple but cluttered:

-- builds
   `-- devel
       |-- aPackage
       |-- anotherPackage
       |-- cMsg2et
       |   |-- doc
       |   |-- java
       |       `-- org
       |           `-- jlab
       |               `-- halld
       |   |-- jar
       |   |-- Linux_RHEL6-x86_64-gcc4.8.0
       |   |   |-- bin
       |   |   |-- include
       |   |   |-- lib
       |   |   `-- scripts
       |   `-- src
       |       |-- binsrc
       |       |-- examples
       |       |-- libsrc
       |       |   `-- cMsg2et -> .
       |       |-- scripts
       |       `-- test
       |-- doc
       |-- jar
       |-- Linux_RHEL6-x86_64-gcc4.8.0
       |   |-- bin
       |   |-- include
       |   |-- lib
       |   `-- scripts
       `-- SCONS

Build System

• Based on SCONS and Python/Perl scripts (by Maurizio, Elliott and Dave L).
• Allows for only one library per package, but allows multiple executables and test programs.
• A package may just have a library or executables, or maybe just some include files and scripts.
• System builds libsrc,binsrc and installs libsrc,binsrc,scripts into $INSTALL_DIR (default is package directory).
• Copies include files from libsrc into include directory in $INSTALL_DIR.
• Builds test area but only installs it locally (i.e. ignores INSTALL_DIR env var)
• Ignores any other directories in src (e.g. examples dir).
• Include statements MUST be qualified by package name (e.g. #include <cMsg2et/cMsg2et.h>) (thus the soft link in libsrc dir).

File structure for release area

• Below is a proposed release directory structure.
• Official release area is /gluex/builds.
• Release area only writeable from hdsys account, read-only from all other accounts.
• Package directories are what gets checked into SVN.
• Packages can be checked in/out by anyone.
• Anyone can build and install packages in their own area.
• Only hdsys can release a package into official release area.
• Notes:
  • Should SCONS dir be under packages? Should it be installed?
  • Need to develop scripts to check out and build everything in one command.

Example SCONS Scripts

#  SConscript for libsrc
#
#  to customize fill in package dependencies

Import('*')
from init_env import modify_environment
from util import buildLib


#  set package dependencies
modify_environment(libEnv,'cmsg')



#  build the lib
buildLib(libEnv)
