linux configuration and builds

[ebo]

Hello,

I am having a a rather difficult time building Open Modelica. Searching the web I found that a number of people have commented on how fragile the build process is on Linux. If I took the time to overhaul the build system would you be willing to upload the changes? If not I will do what I need to do to make my life easier, otherwise I'll talk to my major professor and see how much time he thinks I should spend on this.

Thanks and best regards,

Hi,

By all means, we would be really glad if
you can make the build on Linux more robust.

I could even give you write access to the repository if you want to make changes.
However, I would like to test the changes myself a bit before you push them in.
I try to keep things compilable on Windows, Linux and MacOS.

Cheers,
Adrian Pop/

Dr. Pop,

Good to know. I'll take it up with my advisor tomorrow and see if he thinks if OpenModelica is a direction we want to go with the research, and if so how much time I should spend on this effort.

Regardless, I'll send you or post what I come with in the mean time. I have updated ebuilds for OpenModelica, rml, and smlnj. I am currently recompiling the system after updating smlnj and the SVN version of rml.

Thanks and best regads,

Closing this as we have improved a lot on the old build system, even doing automatic nightly builds.
