| JHBuildJavaWrapper |
A wrapper around GNOME's JHBuild build and dependency manager which allows to automatic download of tarballs and checkout of source roots with various SCMs, automatic build, test and installation into a user prefix as well as specification and resolution of dependencies. The wrapper uses some system binaries which are expected to be present and otherwise need to be installed manually by the caller (e.g.
sh and make. Other non-system binaries, like git and jhbuild itself are searched for and automatically downloaded and installed in case of absence. Both system and non-system binaries are search for in the environment variable PATH and the subdirectory bin of the specified installationPrefix so that it's possible to install them as non-root user (system-binaries don't necessarily have to be installed manually into installationPrefix since any other installation prefix can be added to PATH before the wrapper is used). stdout and stderr of build processes are redirected to stdout and stderr of the JVM except silenceStdout or silenceStderr are set to true. In this case the content of both process streams is wrapped in a BuildFailureException in case a build process returns a code which is unequal 0. The Wrapper make JHBuild use it's default cache directory for downloads and build results under the user's home directory since there's few incentive to make the location configurable. Only the make are provided by the system since it's very hard or impossible to build a C compiler without an existing one as well as building make without make. The initialization routine then builds and installs git and all of its prerequisites and then uses it to clone the jhbuild repository and build and install it. A tarball of jhbuild could be used, but that's a TODO. |
