The recommendation is to use the link flag --no-undefined
and to fed *all* dependencies to the respective link step.
This changeset enables this strict linking of dependencies.
It turned out that our dependencies were already sane
(with the sole exception of a direct dependency to X-Lib
in the XV viewer widget)
The XV-Viewer widget in our GUI uses four direct calls
to the X-Lib. This was discovered by strict dependency checking,
as mandated by new Debian policy
...this will be the second preview release
Lumiera is still in pre-alpha stage, and thus there
are no proper releases, just preview snapshots
from time to time.
But we're providing Debian packages allready
- upgrade the configuration to a current version
- provide a frontpage with cross-links to other documentation
- define a set of modules; relevant classes and files can be
added to these, to create a exploration path for new readers
- fix a lot of errors in documentation comments
- use a custom configuration for the documentation pages
- tweak the navigation, the sections and further arrangements
Note: this drops some backwards compatibility. We're targeting now
roughly the range between Ubuntu-Precise (LTS) and Debian/testing,
with Debian/stable as the reference system.
The naming scheme for Boost-Libraries was adjusted with Boost-1.42
for Unix-Platforms. Now the '-mt' suffix isn't included any more, but
the libraries available through the usual packaging mechanisms can be
assumed to be thread safe.

tests used to be defined ad hoc and test definitions
are scattered confusingly over various directories.
Now built some simple rules into the buildsystem
to allow organising the tests into layers and
linking them accordingly.
Note: this switches to building shared objects
for the test classes too, which effectively speeds up
both re-building and re-running of test cases
the icon rendering script from Joel had a function
to invoke Inkscape; it seems this was a leftover
from earlier attempts to render the icons.
Now, we seem to rely on lib Cairor solely
Not sure if this works; problem is that the icons
generated from SVG are just dumped into the target
folder, but we miss to generate the respective
installation targets
especially this means to use the common well-known names again,
like "Program" "SharedLibrary". The customisation now happens
invisible in LumieraEnvironment.
the installed lumiera exe can even be started...
...well with a bit of cheating: you need to cd into the lib/lumiera
because the PLUGINPATH problem isn't solved yet
Explanation: together with the bare SCons build system, on this branch I added
some dummy codefiles, to validate the build system is working as merged in from master
