| Summary | 0000116: How to build using jam? | ||||
| Description | I see the build_linux script in the 'jam' directory, but Fedora Core 4 doesn't have Jam installed by default. What version of Jam should I use? There seem to be various different Jams: Jam/MR, FT Jam, boost-jam -- which is the right one? Can we set up a page on the wiki about this? Jam should work find cross-platform, right? Or is this going to be a windows-specific build configuration? | ||||

Tried with boost-jam, didn't work. http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/boost/boost-jam-3.1.11-1.i386.rpm |

From jds: I updated my jam stuff in the repository. I spent a few hours debugging the build, and finally got it building. It's not pretty yet, but its a start. It builds the base libs, FORTRAN libs, and tcltk98 executable. I'm using ftjam 2.3.5 on Mandrake 10.1. The fledgling test suite is not operational on Linux yet - you'll get SIGSEGV if you run it. Something for me to work on this week. jam would potentially replace gnumake, not configure. You'd still run configure to do all the system customization, but have configure generate Jamrules from Jamrules.in. My next task in this area, should I choose to accept it, is to integrate the Jamrules.in files with configure so you don't have to manually set options. Whether I do this will probably depend on whether we think jam is the best way to go for a cross-platform build system. The MinGW MSYS system does have a autoconf implementation (Tcl/Tk also). I tried it before delving into jam, but it's not compatible with the autoconf version 2.13 configure.in currently used in ASCEND. Do you think that's what your correspondent was talking about, or is this an independent port? Art (mostly) and Ben have been toying with an upgrade to autoconf 2.5 - I was waiting to see where this goes before going wading in ASCEND's formidable configure.in. Let me know how you make out with the jam build. Work through the jam subdirectories of base, blas, linpack, lsod, and tclck98, running 'jam -f ../../jam/Jambase' in each one. If you have questions or want to discuss anything, let me know or add it to the wiki. |

Hi Ben, I found this version of Jam, it's perforce jam from Fedora Extras. The freetype jam webpage says that ftjam supports building on more different platforms, but since Jerry is bundling his own Jambase, perhaps this doesn't matter. JP |
