Re: Any progress with FIS GT.M?
Andreas,
A quick update on the status of the fis-gtm package.
After the hackathon on Wednesday, there has been
further activity and things are coming along nicely.
The most recent version of the fis-gtm source tree along with
the corresponding CMakeLists.txt file is here (in a branch):
Many thanks to Brad King (Kitware) and Amul Shah (FIS)
who did the large majority of this work.
The most up to date debian packaging files are
now in the SVN repository:
These are based on the modifications that Yaroslav did during
the hackathon, and include some retouches done today to match
small changes in the CMake-fis-gtm configuration process.
Many thanks to Yaroslav for making the trip to join us at the
hackathon and for redoing the configuration of the Debian
package.

Status:
1) fis-gtm + cmake builds now in 32bits and 64bits Intel.
2) debuild manages to build the source tree and generate
two .deb packages. One with fis-gtm-5.5 and the other
one with additional metapackages that make easier to
deal with versioning:
fis-gtm_5.5-000-1_all.deb
fis-gtm-5.5.000_5.5-000-1_i386.deb
3) We get a couple of lintian warnings, but they look
easy to solve. We will be looking at them next week.
4) The fis-gtm-5.5.000_5.5-000-1_i386.deb package
installs nicely when using dpkg -i.
Pending Issues:
A) We need to address a Post-Installation step
where some .m files are compiled in their
final destination. We are brainstorming on
this with Yaroslav, Bhaskar, Amul and Brad...
B) Testing, testing, testing: we need to do a lot
of testing on the resulting build, to make
sure that we got things right.
C) A new source tree will be distributed at some
point by the fis-gtm upstream team. This will
include the CMakeLists.txt file and the additional
files that are needed to bootstrap the build in
the absence of an installed GTM compiler.
We are getting really close to get a fis-gtm package... :-)
Luis
