- support use of wmake -show-xyz, as well as older WM_CC, WM_CFLAGS etc.
- add support for Makefile.inc for scotch
- add -toolset= option for making boost and use b2 instead of legacy
bjam for configuration
- only export the WM_* settings to their plain counterparts
(eg, export CC=$WM_CC)
when they actually point to an accessible program
This helps in particular when bootstrapping builds with third-party
compilers.
ENH: add support of additional configure options to some make scripts
- remove hard-coded --verbs from makeOPENMPI in favour of letting the
user provide it via the command-line for makeOPENMPI.
eg, makeOPENMPI openmpi-1.10.6 -- --with-verbs=DIRECTORY ...
- similar functionality in etc/tools/ThirdPartyFunctions to improve
the independence of ThirdParty while reducing clutter in the callers.
- add useGcc function for convenience
- mask seeing our own git-repo when building
STYLE: various items
- eliminate old user-editable configuration in files - now command-line only.
- use *_BUILD_DIR instead of *_BINARY_DIR for more clarity of the purpose
- drop use of '-q' option for wmakeCheckPwd (already has stderr redirect)
- drop checkVersion for makeParaView since it stopped working properly
with newer paraview version
CONFIG: update list of versions
- makes is easier to quickly build different versions and reduces
clutter in Allwmake.
- provide some quick '-test' options for makeCGAL, makeFFTW etc
to reduce duplication of logic in Allwmake.
