ZC Buildout recipe for configure/make/make install

Project description

The configure-make-make-install recipe automates installation of configure-based source distribution into buildouts.

SVN version:

<svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zc.recipe.cmmi/trunk#egg=zc.recipe.cmmi-dev>

Release History

1.3.4 (2011-01-18)

  • Fixed a bug in location book-keeping that caused shared builds to be deleted from disk when a part didn’t need them anymore. (#695977)

  • Made tests pass with both zc.buildout 1.4 and 1.5, lifted the upper version bound on zc.buildout. (#695732)

1.3.3 (2010-11-10)

  • Remove the temporary build directory when cmmi succeeds.

  • Specify that the zc.buildout version be <1.5.0b1, as the recipe is currently not compatible with zc.buildout 1.5.

1.3.2 (2010-08-09)

  • Remove the build directory for a shared build when the source cannot be downloaded.

  • Declared a test dependency on zope.testing.

1.3.1 (2009-09-10)

  • Declare dependency on zc.buildout 1.4 or later. This dependency was introduced in version 1.3.

1.3 (2009-09-03)

  • Use zc.buildout’s download API. As this allows MD5 checking, added the md5sum and patch-md5sum options.

  • Added options for changing the name of the configure script and overriding the --prefix parameter.

  • Moved the core “configure; make; make install” command sequence to a method that can be overridden in other recipes, to support packages whose installation process is slightly different.

1.2.1 (2009-08-12)

Bug fix: keep track of reused shared builds.

1.2.0 (2009-05-18)

Enabled using a shared directory for completed builds.

1.1.6 (2009-03-17)

Moved ‘zc’ package from root of checkout into ‘src’, to prevent testrunner from finding eggs installed locally by buildout.

Removed deprecations under Python 2.6.

1.1.5 (2008-11-07)

Added to the README.txt file a link to the SVN repository, so that Setuptools can automatically find the development version when asked to install the “-dev” version of zc.recipe.cmmi.

Bugs Fixed

Applied fix for bug #261367 i.e. changed open() of file being downloaded to binary, so that errors like the following no longer occur under Windows.

uncompress = self.decompress.decompress(buf) error: Error -3 while decompressing: invalid distance too far back

1.1.4 (2008-06-25)

Add support to autogen configure files.

1.1.3 (2008-06-03)

Add support for updating the environment.

1.1.2 (2008-02-28)

Bugs Fixed

Check if the location folder exists before creating it.

After 1.1.0

Added support for patches to be downloaded from a url rather than only using patches on the filesystem

1.1.0

Added support for:

  • download-cache: downloaded files are cached in the ‘cmmi’ subdirectory of the cache cache keys are hashes of the url that the file was downloaded from cache information recorded in the cache.ini file within each directory

  • offline mode: cmmi will not go online if the package is not in the cache

  • variable location: build files other than in the parts directory if required

  • additional logging/output

1.0.2 (2007-06-03)

Added support for patches.

Bugs Fixed

Tests fixed (buildout’s output changed)

1.0.1 (2006-11-22)

Bugs Fixed

Added missing zip_safe flag.

1.0 (2006-11-22)

Initial release.

Detailed Documentation

We have an archive with a demo foo tar ball and publish it by http in order to see offline effects:

>>> ls(distros)
-  bar.tgz
-  baz.tgz
-  foo.tgz
>>> distros_url = start_server(distros)

Let’s update a sample buildout to installs it:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = foo
...
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
... url = %sfoo.tgz
... """ % distros_url)

We used the url option to specify the location of the archive.

If we run the buildout, the configure script in the archive is run. It creates a make file which is also run:

>>> print system('bin/buildout'),
Installing foo.
foo: Downloading http://localhost/foo.tgz
foo: Unpacking and configuring
configuring foo --prefix=/sample-buildout/parts/foo
echo building foo
building foo
echo installing foo
installing foo

The recipe also creates the parts directory:

>>> import os.path
>>> os.path.isdir(join(sample_buildout, "parts", "foo"))
True

If we run the buildout again, the update method will be called, which does nothing:

>>> print system('bin/buildout'),
Updating foo.

You can supply extra configure options:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = foo
...
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
... url = %sfoo.tgz
... extra_options = -a -b c
... """ % distros_url)
>>> print system('bin/buildout'),
Uninstalling foo.
Installing foo.
foo: Downloading http://localhost/foo.tgz
foo: Unpacking and configuring
configuring foo --prefix=/sample-buildout/parts/foo -a -b c
echo building foo
building foo
echo installing foo
installing foo

The recipe sets the location option, which can be read by other recipes, to the location where the part is installed:

>>> cat('.installed.cfg')
... # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
[buildout]
installed_develop_eggs =
parts = foo
<BLANKLINE>
[foo]
__buildout_installed__ = /sample_buildout/parts/foo
...
extra_options = -a -b c
location = /sample_buildout/parts/foo
...

It may be necessary to set some environment variables when running configure or make. This can be done by adding an environment statement:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = foo
...
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
... url = %sfoo.tgz
... environment =
...   CFLAGS=-I/usr/lib/postgresql7.4/include
... """ % distros_url)
>>> print system('bin/buildout'),
Uninstalling foo.
Installing foo.
foo: Downloading http://localhost/foo.tgz
foo: Unpacking and configuring
foo: Updating environment: CFLAGS=-I/usr/lib/postgresql7.4/include
configuring foo --prefix=/sample_buildout/parts/foo
echo building foo
building foo
echo installing foo
installing foo

Sometimes it’s necessary to patch the sources before building a package. You can specify the name of the patch to apply and (optional) patch options:

First of all let’s write a patchfile:

>>> import sys
>>> mkdir('patches')
>>> write('patches/config.patch',
... """--- configure
... +++ /dev/null
... @@ -1,13 +1,13 @@
...  #!%s
...  import sys
... -print "configuring foo", ' '.join(sys.argv[1:])
... +print "configuring foo patched", ' '.join(sys.argv[1:])
...
...  Makefile_template = '''
...  all:
... -\techo building foo
... +\techo building foo patched
...
...  install:
... -\techo installing foo
... +\techo installing foo patched
...  '''
...
...  open('Makefile', 'w').write(Makefile_template)
...
... """ % sys.executable)

Now let’s create a buildout.cfg file. Note: If no patch option is beeing passed, -p0 is appended by default.

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = foo
...
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
... url = %sfoo.tgz
... patch = ${buildout:directory}/patches/config.patch
... patch_options = -p0
... """ % distros_url)
>>> print system('bin/buildout'),
Uninstalling foo.
Installing foo.
foo: Downloading http://localhost/foo.tgz
foo: Unpacking and configuring
patching file configure
configuring foo patched --prefix=/sample_buildout/parts/foo
echo building foo patched
building foo patched
echo installing foo patched
installing foo patched

It is possible to autogenerate the configure files:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = foo
...
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
... url = %s/bar.tgz
... autogen = autogen.sh
... """ % distros_url)
>>> print system('bin/buildout'),
Uninstalling foo.
Installing foo.
foo: Downloading http://localhost//bar.tgz
foo: Unpacking and configuring
foo: auto generating configure files
configuring foo --prefix=/sample_buildout/parts/foo
echo building foo
building foo
echo installing foo
installing foo

It is also possible to support configure commands other than “./configure”:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = foo
...
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
... url = %s/baz.tgz
... source-directory-contains = configure.py
... configure-command = ./configure.py
... configure-options =
...     --bindir=bin
... """ % distros_url)
>>> print system('bin/buildout'),
Uninstalling foo.
Installing foo.
foo: Downloading http://localhost//baz.tgz
foo: Unpacking and configuring
configuring foo --bindir=bin
echo building foo
building foo
echo installing foo
installing foo

When downloading a source archive or a patch, we can optionally make sure of its authenticity by supplying an MD5 checksum that must be matched. If it matches, we’ll not be bothered with the check by buildout’s output:

>>> try: from hashlib import md5
... except ImportError: from md5 import new as md5
>>> foo_md5sum = md5(open(join(distros, 'foo.tgz')).read()).hexdigest()
>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = foo
...
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
... url = %sfoo.tgz
... md5sum = %s
... """ % (distros_url, foo_md5sum))
>>> print system('bin/buildout'),
Uninstalling foo.
Installing foo.
foo: Downloading http://localhost/foo.tgz
foo: Unpacking and configuring
configuring foo --prefix=/sample_buildout/parts/foo
echo building foo
building foo
echo installing foo
installing foo

But if the archive doesn’t match the checksum, the recipe refuses to install:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = foo
...
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
... url = %sbar.tgz
... md5sum = %s
... patch = ${buildout:directory}/patches/config.patch
... """ % (distros_url, foo_md5sum))
>>> print system('bin/buildout'),
Uninstalling foo.
Installing foo.
foo: Downloading http://localhost:20617/bar.tgz
While:
  Installing foo.
Error: MD5 checksum mismatch downloading 'http://localhost/bar.tgz'

Similarly, a checksum mismatch for the patch will cause the buildout run to be aborted:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = foo
...
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
... url = %sfoo.tgz
... patch = ${buildout:directory}/patches/config.patch
... patch-md5sum = %s
... """ % (distros_url, foo_md5sum))
>>> print system('bin/buildout'),
Installing foo.
foo: Downloading http://localhost:21669/foo.tgz
foo: Unpacking and configuring
While:
  Installing foo.
Error: MD5 checksum mismatch for local resource at '/.../sample-buildout/patches/config.patch'.
>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = foo
...
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
... url = %sfoo.tgz
... patch = ${buildout:directory}/patches/config.patch
... """ % (distros_url))

If the build fails, the temporary directory where the tarball was unpacked is logged to stdout, and left intact for debugging purposes.

>>> write('patches/config.patch', "dgdgdfgdfg")
>>> res =  system('bin/buildout')
>>> print res
Installing foo.
foo: Downloading http://localhost/foo.tgz
foo: Unpacking and configuring
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
foo: cmmi failed: /.../...buildout-foo
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.
While:
  Installing foo.
<BLANKLINE>
An internal error occurred due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:
...
SystemError: ('Failed', 'patch -p0 < /.../patches/config.patch')
<BLANKLINE>
>>> import re
>>> import os.path
>>> import shutil
>>> path = re.search('foo: cmmi failed: (.*)', res).group(1)
>>> os.path.exists(path)
True
>>> shutil.rmtree(path)

After a successful build, such temporary directories are removed.

>>> import glob
>>> import tempfile
>>> tempdir = tempfile.gettempdir()
>>> dirs = len(glob.glob(os.path.join(tempdir, '*buildout-foo')))
>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = foo
...
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
... url = %sfoo.tgz
... """ % (distros_url,))
>>> print system("bin/buildout")
Installing foo.
foo: Downloading http://localhost:21445/foo.tgz
foo: Unpacking and configuring
configuring foo --prefix=/sample_buildout/parts/foo
echo building foo
building foo
echo installing foo
installing foo
<BLANKLINE>
>>> new_dirs = len(glob.glob(os.path.join(tempdir, '*buildout-foo')))
>>> dirs == new_dirs
True

Download Cache

The recipe supports use of a download cache in the same way as zc.buildout. See downloadcache.txt for details
