Set the `capnp_prefix` variable when calling ./configure.
E.g. build and install cap’n’proto in $HOME/build:
./configure --disable-shared --prefix="$HOME/build"
make -j6 check && make install
Then configure TextMate to find it there:
capnp_prefix="$HOME/build" ./configure
This slows down signing enormously (10+ seconds) and fails most of the time when internet connectivity is suboptimal (might be related to being behind a proxy).
This changes the authentication mechanism from passing an authorization token / API key to using basic auth. Basic auth didn’t work when I initially tested the upload API, but hopefully GitHub has since added it (I did request it, but didn’t get a reply, so no idea if the omission was an oversight or by design).
Creating a release with attachment is non-atomic in that the release is first created and then we upload to that release but our build file has it as a single action, so this action should be able to handle partial success from a previous execution.
The problem is that with a bad internet connection there is a very high probability that “codesign --deep” will fail due to having to contact the timestamp server for each embedded executable object.
Long-term we probably want to sign the sub-targets as they are produced and/or link the entire thing together so that there is only a single sign target (plus embedded plug-ins).
We were using gnutar to avoid the extended header keywords that bsdtar add to the archive (for non-ASCII file names) as those will cause older versions of gnutar (like the one included with 10.8 and earlier) to give warnings/errors when extracting the archive.
Issue #1180
This is required when signing on OS X 10.9.
Although the option is not documented for the version of codesign included with 10.8, using it does not result in an error.
Closes#1158
Previously this had to be done via global constructor functions but it would seem the execution of these may happen before initialization of global data.
Use APP_VERSION instead of APP_REVISION in various target names.
Indicate a few build commands are generators, so that their output is not removed on ‘ninja -t clean’.
Move generated dummy files (for tagging, uploading, deploying, etc.) to sub-directories to reduce noise in build directory.
@executable_path is the originally-executed program, whereas @loader_path is the program that caused the load to occur (e.g. a Quick Look generator). @rpath can be changed at link time — a QL generator can specify a value that points to the enclosing app bundle’s Frameworks directory.
Variables which are not referencing other variables are no longer provided with their literal value. Variables which do reference other variables have the reference escaped, so that ninja won’t expand the reference when rebuilding build.ninja.
There is still some redundancy in that APP_VERSION has the major + tag part stated both at the top and as a command line argument, haven’t yet figured out how to best deal with this.
The current options are:
-b/--benchmark Run benchmarks instead of tests.
-m/--measure Measure time of each test. This disables concurrency.
-r/--repeat <n> Number of times to repeat each test/benchmark.
-v/--verbose Be verbose.
-h/--help Show this help.
-V/--version Show version number.
The motivation for introducing a new test generator is that CxxTest cannot be used with tests that (indirectly) schedule code to run in the main queue.
There are a few other advantages of breaking with CxxTest:
1. Less boilerplate: A test file need only contain a
function named with a ‘test_’ prefix. No classes,
inheritance, or similar. If you need fixtures, use the
multitude of ways that C/C++ allows that (constructor
functions or non-POD types with static storage).
2. Concurrent tests: Test functions are scheduled with
‘dispatch_apply’ and will thus run concurrently. If
you need serial execution you can wrap your tests in a
block and schedule that to run in the main queue.
Though you should catch exceptions and re-throw these
in the test’s original queue, as the test assertions
are using exceptions.
3. Easier output of custom types: The assertion macros
will call ‘to_s’ on the arguments given, so the only
thing required to make these output nicely is to
provide a ‘to_s’ overload for your custom type /
enumeration. I know that the standard way to do this
is overloading operator<< for a stream, but the
TextMate code-base already uses the ‘to_s’
convention.
Long-term I can see a few other advantages, like calling preprocessor on the input files to support #if/#else/#endif to disable tests, better support for Cocoa code (NSRunLoop), and introducing test timeouts.
Turns out a phony rule in ninja isn’t exactly the same as an alias. When the file the phony rule is supposed to be an alias of already exist when calling ‘ninja’ then rules depending on the alias are not considered out-of-date even if the aliased file is of newer date.
Build rules that previously depended on ‘after_bump’ should instead depend on ‘builddir/revision.$APP_REVISION’.
