2010-02-03OTP-8323 Cross compilation improvements and other build systemRickard Green
improvements. Most notable: Lots of cross compilation improvements. The old cross compilation support was more or less non-existing as well as broken. Please, note that the cross compilation support should still be considered as experimental. Also note that old cross compilation configurations cannot be used without modifications. For more information on cross compiling Erlang/OTP see the $ERL_TOP/xcomp/README file. Support for staged install using <url href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html">D ESTDIR</url>. The old broken INSTALL_PREFIX has also been fixed. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/README file. Documentation of the release target of the top Makefile. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/README file. make install now by default creates relative symbolic links instead of absolute ones. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/README file. $ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive now works and prints help for all applications with configure scripts. Doing make install, or make release directly after make all no longer triggers miscellaneous rebuilds. Existing bootstrap system is now used when doing make install, or make release without a preceding make all. The crypto and ssl applications use the same runtime library path when dynamically linking against libssl.so and libcrypto.so. The runtime library search path has also been extended. The configure scripts of erl_interface and odbc now search for thread libraries and thread library quirks the same way as erts do. The configure script of the odbc application now also looks for odbc libraries in lib64 and lib/64 directories when building on a 64-bit system. The config.h.in file in the erl_interface application is now automatically generated in instead of statically updated which reduces the risk of configure tests without any effect.

2010-01-12Support updating preloaded files in a git repositoryBjörn Gustavsson
The commands in otp_build for updating the checked-in preloaded modules only works in ClearCase. Add support updating the preloaded files in a git repository as well. Check the $version_controller variable so that we can have "otp_build update_preloaded" do different things depending on whether it is run in a ClearCase view or a git repository. When run in a git repository, "otp_build update_preloaded" will update and commit the preloaded modules (to undo the updating of the preloaded modules, do "git reset --hard HEAD^"). Update the usage text to only show the commands relevant to the kind of VCS it is being run in.
2010-01-12Support updating the primary bootstrap in a git repositoryBjörn Gustavsson
The commands in otp_build for updating the checked-in primary bootstrap only works in ClearCase. Add support updating the bootstrap in a git repository as well. Check the $version_controller variable so that we can have "otp_build update_primary" do different things depending on whether it is run in a ClearCase view or a git repository. When run in a git repository, "otp_build update_primary" will update and commit the bootstrap (to undo the updating of the bootstrap, do "git reset --hard HEAD^"). Update the usage text to only show the commands relevant to the kind of VCS it is being run in.
2010-01-12Determine which VCS is being usedBjörn Gustavsson
We want to add the ability for otp_build to determine which version control system (VCS) is being used, so that the commands for updating the primary bootstrap and pre-loaded modules can be updated to do different things depending on the VCS. In the beginning of the otp_build script, set the variable "version_controller" to either "none" (for no VCS), "git", or "clearcase".

new mandatory configuration variable that replaces all other previously mandatory configuration variables, and better documentation. Note that old cross compilation configurations cannot be used without modifications. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/xcomp/README file.
