Finish updating installation instructions and scripts for enGrid 1.4 about engrid HOT 9 CLOSED

Going to begin tests using a dedicated branch on my fork:

wget https://raw.github.com/wyldckat/engrid/sandbox-1.4/build.bash
chmod +x build.bash
./build.bash

I'll update this comment with the results on the tests I've made so far:

• Ubuntu 12.04 32bit
  • Builds successfully.
  • Seems to work properly.
  • Outputs this message right after start on the command line: ```
    void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::addAction(QAction*, int): Already tracking action "" under id 59

* openSUSE 12.2 64bit (KDE)
  * Builds successfully.
  * Seems to work properly.
  * Outputs this message into the Output widget when it first opens the GMsh import file open: ```
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work

• openSUSE 12.1 64bit (KDE)
  • Same as with 12.2 64bit (KDE)... all seems OK.
• openSUSE 11.4 64bit (Gnome)
  • All seems OK.
  • No warning messages.
• Fedora 17 32bit
  • All seems OK.
  • No warning messages.

Second battery of tests:

• Fedora 16 64bit:
  • All seems OK.
  • Had to add patch to the dependencies list, because the other machine installations already had them from building OpenFOAM.
• Fedora 15 32bit
  • All seems OK.
  • No warning messages.
• Fedora 14 64bit
  • All seems OK.
  • No warning messages.

@ogloth: According to my tests, you can now safely merge the windows-1.4 branch with release-1.4, which includes the following functionalities:

• build.bash and setup_pathes.bash have been updated and fixed for proper operation with the listed Linux Distributions.
• Everything is properly tuned for building on Windows with MSVC 2008.
• debian folder has been updated and I think it's now ready to be used for generating deb packages for Ubuntu.

I think I've mastered the PPA thing: https://launchpad.net/~wyldckat/+archive/engrid-ppa

Auxiliary notes: Debian package development

I started to look at openSUSE's build system... but them my head went into strike and no longer wants to think about this ;)

Updated build.bash and setup_pathes.bash script at windows-1.4 for Ubuntu 12.10:

  • Builds successfully.
  • Seems to work properly.
  • Outputs this message right after start on the command line: ```
    void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::addAction(QAction*, int): Already tracking action "" under id 59

Commits made up to 8cfb4c3 have been pushed to release-1.4.

Once the tests are complete (will keep updating the previous comment), I'll take care of finishing up the installation instructions wiki page.

from engrid.

The Installation wiki page has been revamped and is as good as ready!
All that is left is for the actual release to be made! 😎

Addendum:

• Actually, the page will need another update for when the PPA is fully ready...
• Found out that someone has been maintaining enGrid at openSUSE service repo: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=engrid&project=science - which means that when 1.4.0 is released, it's a matter of asking them and providing instructions here as well.

from engrid.

OK, the one about openSUSE build service has been moved to another issue and this one is hereby closed!
