[fdo-internals] SVN Repository Merge Issues

[Traian Stanev]

OK I understand what you are saying. I think that it's better to have
one configure script that builds all. In general, a developer would then
only need to do a full build once the first time they get the code.
After that, make will do incremental builds of whatever code the
developer changed. I assume a non-developer would not have to build
often enough to save them time by building select things. However,
another option I see possible is some kind of --with option to the
./configure script that configures the makefiles to build only the
providers that one needs.

Your example is valid but does not answer the question I asked. 

 

1)       If a user runs the following from the top directory, should
this action build FDO and all providers?

 

        automake

        autoconf

        ./configure

        make

 

2)       Another question, should I be able to run ./configure from a
Provider subdirectory or will we only be able to run ./configure from
the root directory?

If the makefiles are set up right, one should be able to change
directory to where the provider is and run make from in there. This
would make it so that only that provider builds. That's how Mapguide
currently works -- if I change directory to /Server and run make, only
the server components will build.

Hi Bob,

 

When I merge the Linux build process, do you wish to have a single
'make' request initiated at the top level build FDO and all the
providers under the Providers directory? This may be overhead that is
not required for users who wish to build only a single provider.
