History

#1 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen over 7 years ago

I added the targets pkg and pkgcheck to the Makefile.am and added some code that detects the host OS and dispatches to dedicated scripts.

So far, the script dev/pkgbuild-macosx.sh exists that builds package for Mac OS X. The package includes also libraries that are required (i.e. ncurses, readline, cfitsio, gammalib). It downloads the libraries from their native locations. For GammaLib, it first tries to download the source tarball with the same version number as the actual code. If this tarball does not exist it will clone the code from GitLab, and tries to checkout the release branch. If this branch does not exist is will use the devel branch. This allows to include the script in a release process, and also in a CI process.

The logic for the ctools source code is similar: first the script tries to download the source tarball, if it does not exist if will clone the code from GitLab and use the same branch that was used for GammaLib.

Mac OS X scripts for package generation and validation are working

I tested the cross installation of a package built on Mac OS X version “a” on a Mac OS X version “b” system. Here the results:

Built on ⇒ 10.7 10.8 10.9 10.10 10.11
Installed on 10.7 ok error error error error
Installed on 10.8 ok ok error error error
Installed on 10.9 ok ok ok ok ok
Installed on 10.10 ok ok ok ok ok
Installed on 10.11 ok ok ok ok ok

A package built on Mac OS X 10.7 works on Mac OS X 10.7 - 10.11. I still need to test whether it also works on Mac OS X 10.12.
