In the first phase of GSoC 2021 @ The FOSSology Project, I have
|
|
completed the desired milestone. As of now, FOSSology can be installed

## Updates
|
|
|
|
In the first phase of GSoC 2021 @ The FOSSology Project, I have
|
|
completed the desired milestone. As of now, FOSSology can be installed
|
|
completely via CMake and most of the components are working fine in
|
|
initial testing.
|
|
|
|
List of tasks completed
|
|
|
|
- Added CMake build configurations for all the C/C++ agents for
|
|
executables, libraries, and coverages
|
|
- Added CMake install configuration for all C/C++ and PHP agents as well
|
|
as extra components
|
|
- Reworked the shell scripts and generated source files to make them
|
|
more compatible with CMake as well as better in terms of overall
|
|
compatibility with the latest tools.
|
|
|
|
## Improvements
|
|
|
|
- The new CMake build architecture is much more flexible to changes as
|
|
compared to hard-coded Makefiles.
|
|
- CMake generated configurations support parallel build by default, this
|
|
has led to significant improvement in build time. CMake generated
|
|
configuration can now build the whole project within 2 mins or even
|
|
faster on more powerful CPUs (Both Ninja and Makefiles with the same
|
|
number of parallel processes) compared to 4-5 minutes previously.
|
|
*(These results are averaged from initial testing of new build
|
|
architecture)*
|
|
- CMake supports out-source builds by default, which means the source
|
|
folders are not touched/modified while building, all build files and
|
|
residuals get their separate folder and the source tree can be cleaned
|
|
easily.
|
|
- Developers can now opt for a long list of generators to build
|
|
FOSSology e.g Makefiles, Ninja as per their needs.
|
|
|
|
## How to test
|
|
|
|
Instructions to test the new Build system is in [this](https://github.com/avinal/fossology/wiki#test-the-new-system-only-gcc-with-make-and-ninja-tested-for-now) wiki.
|
|
|
|
## Known Issues
|
|
|
|
- There may be a permission issue with some generated sources while
|
|
building. This can be bypassed for now by running
|
|
`sudo chmod +x <filename>` command.
|
|
- Coverage builds may fail.
|
|
|
|
## Postponed Tasks
|
|
|
|
- configuration for tests are skipped for now
|
|
|
|
## Work in Progress
|
|
|
|
- Currently, I am working on packaging the FOSSology with CMake.
