* Update flex package url's and versions
The old sourceforge page for flex is now defunct. While version 2.6.0
still downloads fine, later versions are no longer hosted there.
Development continues on github. I've adjusted urls to point to this
new location.
In addition, from 2.6.0 onwards, a new naming scheme for releases seems
to have been adopted. I've created a url_for_version function to sort
this out.
* Change flex to an AutotoolsPackage
Also move the url_for_version function to the end of the package
definition.
* Implement the autoreconf function for flex
The option -s now causes file and line number information to be printed
along with any invocation of msg, info, etc...
This will greatly ease debugging.
- Seems like older git versions won't be able to clone an LFS repo.
- Reverting to an external link for the slides to avoid storing an 8MB
file in the repo and to avoid using git LFS.
Adds the IceT compositing library from Sandia/Kitware.
Most default functionality needed for image compositing is
added, OpenGL acceleration for very large displays is disabled.
Downstream usage:
most VTK based software which supports parallel image compositing,
such as VisIt, Paraview and in our use-case
[ISAAC](https://github.com/ComputationalRadiationPhysics/isaac).
* Force the recipe for Lua to use the spack compiler.
I'm not sure how the old recipe worked for anyone. The Lua Makefiles set
`CC=gcc` and for my spack environment the first `gcc` found in my `PATH` is
`$SPACK_ROOT/lib/spack/env/gcc`, which is a directory. This caused the build
to fail. My change drops the `-std=gnu99`, but this option doesn't appear
to be required for a sucessful build.
* Preserve the '-std=gnu99' compile option.
* Allow compiler wrapper to modify environment
This adds the ability to set environment variables in the compiler
wrappers. These are specified as part of the compilers.yaml config.
The user may also specify RPATHs in compilers.yaml that should be
added.
* Minor doc tweak
* fix tau installation issue : setup_environment() is
called before install phase when 'Makefile.*' doesn't
exist (causing list index out of range error).
* Added detailed comment suggested by @alalazo
* Waste less space when fetching cached archives, simplify fetch messages.
- Just symlink cached files into the stage instead of copying them with curl.
- Don't copy linked files back into the cache when done fetching.
* Fixes for review.
* more updates
* last update
