Setting up a build umbrealla

Because none of the MacGitver submodules is currently able to be built stand-alone, there is an umbrella project that allows to build individual parts of MacGitver. This technique is used

• to work only on libGitwrap or libHeaven
• to accomplish partial PR-Builds in Jenkins
• to update Doxygen documentation

These actions are required to setup such a build umbrella

• Create a designated place in your file system
• Clone the macgitver/mgv-build-umbrealla git repository from github
• Clone the projects you want to build (and their dependencies)
• When running CMake, run it on the umbrella and give it a list of modules to include.
• Run CMake and make to test this.

Short-Example

cd && mkdir dv
cd dv
git clone [email protected]:/macgitver/mgv-build-umbrella src
cd src
git clone [email protected]:/macgitver/libHeaven.git libHeaven
git clone [email protected]:/macgitver/libDiffViews.git libDiffViews
mkdir ../bin && cd ../bin
cmake ../src -DMODS=libHeaven;libDiffViews

Jenkins

Since this doesn't work well with jenkins, on jenkens we use this:

rm -rf umbrella
git clone [email protected]:/macgitver/mgv-build-umbrealla umbrella
ln -s ../src umbrella/libHeaven

The git-clone destination for libHeaven is then set to src, but cmake is configured to run from umbrella.

Full example for libHeaven

sacu@blacky ~ $ mkdir libHeaven
sacu@blacky ~ $ cd libHeaven
