I don't know about any user of the kernel modules. It is effectively
legacy code we carry around, for no good reason. Remove it for the
moment. If we ever need it, we can revert.
Ubuntu 18.04 is now in "Extended Security Maintenance", but otherwise
gets no updates. Remove it from supported distributions (regarding
installing packages); users can of course still use it.
Users are encouraged to upgrade to Ubuntu 20+.
Apart from the obvious change of adding ubuntu24.04 to supported
distributions, we need to remove liblapacke-dev as it is incompatible
with libatlas3-base. Installing both aborts with:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
liblapacke : Breaks: libatlas3-base (< 3.10.3-14) but 3.10.3-13ubuntu1 is to be installed
It seems that we don't need it though, as liblapacke-dev installs the
right atlas library as a dependency.
This enables build_oai to detect if the output terminal supports colors.
If it does, it will use colors in its output. If it does not, it will
just print the text, without color codes, improving legibility.
Some distributions, e.g., CentOS8 or RHEL8, ship with an old cmake
(v2.8). To provide a newer, they have a separate cmake3 package, where a
recent cmake version is in program cmake3. To be agnostic, build_helper
detects the distribution and choses the cmake program to use.
This commit uses the correct cmake, which is provided in the environment
variable $CMAKE.
Instead of using ninja/make directly, there is a cmake command option to
trigger the build using whatever build tool has been configured. Use it;
if there is a mismatch, there will also be a clearer cmake error.
Remove build_oai's --build-coverity: we don't use it, and it can
trivially be added if required (probably, most users would run it by
hand anyway).
Add an error if the compilations function is not called with the right
noumber of arguments.
To allow users to install asn1c quickly in install, make this directory
to allow standalone execution of install_asn1c_from_source.
The instructions are now:
sudo ls # open sudo session, required by install_asn1c_from_source
. oaienv # read of default variables
. cmake_targets/tools/build_helper # read in functions
install_asn1c_from_source # install
We don't work much on asn1c. The version we use has several bugs.
There is an active community out there that fixes bugs and improves
asn1c. Let's use their version.
