- in 1906, we changed the handling of compiler flags to include the
exact values as used by OpenFOAM.
While this is needed for compiling some external programs -- see
https://develop.openfoam.com/Development/OpenFOAM-plus/issues/1256
for the discussion -- it appears to bring in flags that upset
some of the ParaView (and possibly VTK) compilation.
The culprits are likely to be found in the various '-W' switches,
but for now we simply extract a mininal set of compiler flags
that include -std=c++11 -m64 -fPIC, but no optimization flags,
additional warnings flags or OpenFOAM-specific defines.
- 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 ...
- only addresses -mesa-prefix behaviour.
The -mesa-lib option makes no assumptions at all.
STYLE: update versions in makeParaView.example, makeVTK.example
- 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
