| Summary | 0005521: make new website build easier/more portable | ||||
| Description | - Makefile: * conditionally without gmake extensions pick up values for BABEL and PYTHON. They can be python3, python2, python2.7, pybabel, pybabel-2.7 etc. * Ideally don't require gmake to run make. point 2 is a hint at making building more portable. point 1 means that we get to drop config.mk depending on if it works without it or simply keep it. The idea is to either get this done, or keep the way I've written it currently. | ||||

| Why do we even care here? I am happy to mandate gmake (and Python 3.7, see other bug) for building the Web site. Here we just need clear instructions and it should be buildable easily from Debian and Guix. Everything else doesn't seem that important. | |
| I care because ideally I can make it run on my system, which is not Debian or Guix. It's okay to use gmake and python3.7. The low priority here is that this small Makefile should be able to run without gnu make extensions. | |
| You being able to run it on your system is of course a good, valid goal. But do you really not have GNU make!??!? | |
| The amount of questionmarks tells me that you might be impatient to close this bug. As written in previous bugs, yes I have gnu make available. If you want to, go ahead and close this, it's optional and low priority. | |
| point 1 is closed, happened with earlier commits. config.mk is good as it is, people can define their own values in the file. closing for now. | |
| !??!? was not about impatience, but about me being very confused as to what the issue really is (I had overlooked that gmake was OK). You wrote that you cannot 'make it run on my (your) system'. If there is anything left that prevents that, please do re-open. If not, let's bury this one ;-). | |
| Okay, thanks for the clarification. Expressions don't transport very well in just text. I just prefer it when a system native "make" can be run, regardless of it being gmake, make, or whatever it point to. Not depending on Gnu make extensions means that this would be a bit more platform neutral. It's just something I want to see. It works as it is on my system and no one else will probably complain. See it as an analogy to shell-independent shell scripts. There were 2 issues in here. The second described above, the first one has been worked around and would probably need autotools to pick up versions etc or sed, cut, etc. config.mk is the work around | |
| I see. I don't really see the need to support non-GNU make for the Web page, few users will build it, and GNU make is widely available anyway. As for autotools, that does seem a bit like overkill here. But what exactly would you want to test for? This remains too vague for me. | |
| various executable and versions have various names and locations. python3, python3.7, python can all mean "python version 3.7". $python .c "print(__import__('sys').version)" | grep "3.7" | cut -c1-3 ensures that at least python 3.7 is matched. My diff at the moment is this to make the website build work: diff --git a/config.mk b/config.mk index 026cacb..6633dd0 100644 --- a/config.mk +++ b/config.mk @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ PYTHONPATH=$(PWD):$(GUIX_PYTHONPATH) DEBUG=0 -PYTHON=python3 -BABEL=pybabel +PYTHON=python3.7 +BABEL=pybabel-3.7 RUN_BROWSER=$(BROWSER) | |
| My earlier statement that NetBSD make doesn't work was nonsense. It works. | |
| As everything works as it is, for now, this is good enough until more points of annoyance keep stacking up. | |
