A useful by-product of this development is also to provide some kind of

binary packaging of the ThirdParty packages. There are currently two types of

|
binary packaging generated by this compilation process: RPMs and compressed

tarballs (TGZs)

|
||||||
For every packages, this is the basic process we will be going through when starting building the ThirdParty packages from scratch::
|
|
||||||
a: Verify in the local "RPM vault" if a RPM file is available for a given package
|
|
||||||
b: If it is, simply install this RPM and move on to the next package
|
|
||||||
c: if the RPM is absent:
|
|
||||||
i: verify if the source tarbal is available from the SOURCES "vault"
|
|
||||||
ii: if it is not, download the tarball using the specified URL.
|
|
||||||
iii: proceed with the extraction, patching, configuration, compilation, RPM generation and installation of the package.
|
|
||||||
The generated RPM is always used for installation.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Important notice:
|
|
||||||
Please note that a compressed tarball (.tgz) is now also generated for systems where using rpm for installing packages
|
|
||||||
as a non-root user might be a problem.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The .rpm files will be located under the directory $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/rpmBuild/RPMS
|
2: Important notice:
|
||||||
The .tgz files will be located under the directory $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/rpmBuild/TGZS
|
--------------------
|
||||||
|
Every single ThirdParty package will be installed with a set of companion .sh
|
||||||
|
and .csh files one needs to source in order to properly initialize the PATH and
|
||||||
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables for running the packages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
d: The default installation root directory is "$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR". This can be overriden though when installing the RPM.
|
Some packages will also create environments variables necessary for the
|
||||||
|
compilation of some OpenFOAM libraries.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The scripts AllMake.stage[1-4] are taking care of refreshing the environment
|
||||||
|
variable after the installation of every single package, so you will not need to
|
||||||
|
manually refresh your OpenFOAM environment yourself when building individual
|
||||||
|
ThirdParty packages through the AllMake.stage[1-4] scripts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The main Allwmake script for the compilation of OpenFOAM will also take care of
|
||||||
|
refreshing the environment variable before moving on to the compilation of the
|
||||||
|
main OpenFOAM libraries and applications.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, if you decide to compile the libraries and/or applications manually, or
|
||||||
|
through the src/Allwmake or applications/Allwmake scripts, YOU MUST MAKE SURE
|
||||||
|
YOUR ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES FOR THE THIRDPARTY PACKAGES ARE UPDATED FIRST!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In that case, simply resource your bashrc or cshrc file once, before moving on
|
||||||
|
with the rest of your compilation activities.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Relocating the RPM root installation directory:
|
|
||||||
a: All the generated RPMs can be relocated, meaning that you can override the hard-coded root installation directory when using those RPMs for installation.
|
|
||||||
b: You can check that the RPM is relocatable by using the command rpm -qip thePackage.rpm. For example, from the cmake-2.8.3 package generated on one of my machine:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> rpm -qip cmake-2.8.3-darwinIntelGccDPOpt.i386.rpm| grep Relocations
|
3: The building and installation process overview:
|
||||||
Name : cmake Relocations: /Users/beaudoin/Projets/SAMH/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6-ext-RPM-based
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
For every ThirdParty packages, this is the basic process we will be going
|
||||||
|
through when starting the compilation from scratch:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The Relocations path is the actual location pointed by the $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR on my laptop when I generated the RPM.
|
a: Verify in the local "RPM vault" if a RPM file is available for the
|
||||||
It is the indication that the RPM is relocatable
|
required ThirdParty package.
|
||||||
This path will end up being hardcoded in the RPM because the environment variable was expanded before generating the RPM..
|
|
||||||
This is the default root directory where the RPM will install its "payload"
|
b: If the RPM is available, and the package already installed, then there is
|
||||||
This can be overridden using the 'rpm' command-line parameter --relocate OLDPATH=NEWPATH .
|
nothing to do for this package, and we proceed with the next package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c: If the RPM is available, and the package is NOT already installed, then
|
||||||
|
we simply install it using the RPM and move on to the next package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
d: if the RPM is absent:
|
||||||
|
1: we verify if the source tarbal is available from the SOURCES "vault"
|
||||||
|
2: if it is not, we download the tarball using the specified URL.
|
||||||
|
3: we then proceed with the extraction, patching, configuration,
|
||||||
|
compilation, RPM generation, TGZ generation and installation of the
|
||||||
|
package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Important notices:
|
||||||
|
- The generated RPM is always used for the installation, not the TGZ file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The compressed tarball (.tgz) file is generated for systems where
|
||||||
|
using rpm for installing packages as a non-root user might be a problem.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The .rpm files will be located under the directory
|
||||||
|
$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/rpmBuild/RPMS
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The .tgz files will be located under the directory
|
||||||
|
$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/rpmBuild/TGZS
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
e: The default installation root directory is "$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR".
|
||||||
|
This can be overridden though when installing the RPM.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For example, let's say you want to install the RPM under the root directory /tmp/someDir instead.
|
f: Through the modification of the AllMake.stage[1-4] scripts, it is
|
||||||
You will need to call the 'rpm' command like this:
|
possible to specify a modified version of a .spec file for a given
|
||||||
|
package in order to tweak its local compilation or installation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The modified .spec file will have to be installed under the SPECS
|
||||||
|
directory, and the corresponding invocation or the command rpm_make in
|
||||||
|
the AllMake.stage[1-4] file will need to be modified accordingly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4: Relocating the RPM root installation directory:
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Warning: This section is a bit advanced, and as of yet, I have no evidence that
|
||||||
|
this feature has ever been used by anybody. So please feel free to skip
|
||||||
|
this section if you don't need to relocate your ThirdParty packages
|
||||||
|
installation directory, which you should not have do on most
|
||||||
|
installation anyway.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a: All the generated RPMs can be relocated, meaning that you can override
|
||||||
|
the hard-coded root installation directory when using those RPMs for
|
||||||
|
installation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b: You can check that the RPM is relocatable by using the command rpm -qip
|
||||||
|
thePackage.rpm. For example, from the cmake-2.8.3 package generated on one
|
||||||
|
of my machines, I will get:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
rpm -ivh ./cmake-2.8.3-darwinIntelGccDPOpt.i386.rpm --relocate /Users/beaudoin/Projets/SAMH/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6-ext-RPM-based=/tmp/someDir
|
> rpm -qip cmake-2.8.3-darwinIntelGccDPOpt.i386.rpm| grep Relocations
|
||||||
|
Name : cmake Relocations: /home/beaudoin/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/ThirdParty
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Even better, you can dig down the hard-coded path even deeper in order to relocate the whole installation directory, down to the last hard-coded subdirectory.
|
The Relocations path is the actual location pointed by the
|
||||||
Just specify the whole path when using the --relocate parameter
|
$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR on my virtual machine when I generated the RPM. It is
|
||||||
So basically, you can install the RPM right under /usr if you want, hence bypassing the default sequence of package subdirectories I have chosen in order to stay
|
the indication that the RPM is relocatable. This path will end up being
|
||||||
close to the "traditional" ThirdParty layout.
|
hardcoded in the RPM because the environment variable was expanded before
|
||||||
|
generating the RPM.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is the default root directory where the RPM will install its
|
||||||
|
"payload". This can be overridden using the 'rpm' command-line parameter
|
||||||
|
--relocate OLDPATH=NEWPATH .
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
9: Things to do:

For example, let's say I want to install my cmake-2.8.3 RPM under the root

|
directory /tmp/someDir instead. I will need to call the 'rpm' command like
