[Insight-developers] Re: Iowa's ITK dashboard BuildName settings

Brad,

Thank you for the information.  I just wanted to let you know that I use 
the following unix commands to extract the informatation from each 
machine.  Perhaps this information could make it into a FAQ somewhere.

I call have encapsulated the test builds inside of a Makefile that acts 
like a script that gets run by a cron job each night.  Here is how I 
extract the important information on each of the platforms:

gcc 2.96 compilers
==================
COMPILER_HOSTNAME:=$(shell hostname -s)
COMPILER_PLATFORM:=$(shell uname -s)
COMPILER_NAME:=g++
COMPILER_VERSION:=$(shell g++ --version)

gcc 3xx compilers
=================
COMPILER_HOSTNAME:=$(shell hostname -s)
COMPILER_PLATFORM:=$(shell uname -s)
COMPILER_NAME:=g++
COMPILER_VERSION:=$(word 3, $(shell g++ --version 2>&1)) #g++ --version 
2>&1 |awk '{print $3}'

Intel Compilers
===============
COMPILER_HOSTNAME:=$(shell hostname -s)
COMPILER_PLATFORM:=$(shell uname -s)
COMPILER_NAME:=icc
COMPILER_VERSION:=$(word 8, $(shell icc -V 2>&1))#icc -V 2>&1 |head -1 
|awk '{print $8}'

SGI MipsPro compilers
=====================
COMPILER_HOSTNAME:=$(shell hostname -s)
COMPILER_PLATFORM:=$(shell uname -s)
COMPILER_NAME:=$(word 1, $(shell CC -version 2>&1 ))
COMPILER_VERSION:=$(word 4, $(shell CC -version 2>&1 ))#CC -version 
2>&1|awk '{print $4}'

Then in the common Makefile I use:
==================================
DEFAULT_ITK_USE_SYSTEM_STDLIB=ON
ifeq ($(ARCH), SGI)    #Turn on build flag for compiler
DEFAULT_ITK_USE_SYSTEM_STDLIB=OFF
endif

»·cmake $(CONFIGDIR) \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH="$(CXX)" \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="$(CXXFLAGS)" \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH="$(CC)" \
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="$(CFLAGS)" \
-DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING="$(LDFLAGS)" \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$(UNPACKDIR)  \
-DEXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH:PATH=$(UNPACKDIR)/bin \
-DLIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH:PATH=$(UNPACKDIR)/lib \
-DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:FILEPATH=$(MAKE) \
-DBUILD_APPLICATIONS:BOOL=OFF \
-DBUILD_AUXILIARY:BOOL=OFF \
-DBUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=OFF \
-DBUILD_FEM_CODE:BOOL=OFF \
-DBUILD_FEM_MESH_EXAMPLE:BOOL=OFF \
-DBUILD_FLTKIMAGEVIEWER:BOOL=OFF \
-DBUILD_METAIMAGE:BOOL=ON \
-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF \
-DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON \
-DBUILD_VTKINTERFACE:BOOL=OFF \
-DFEM_USE_SMART_POINTERS:BOOL=OFF \
-DITK_USE_SYSTEM_STDLIB:BOOL=$(DEFAULT_ITK_USE_SYSTEM_STDLIB) \
-DDART_ROOT:PATH=$(UNPACKDIR)/Dart \
-DSITE:STRING=$(COMPILER_HOSTNAME).uiowa \
-DBUILDNAME:STRING=$(COMPILER_PLATFORM)_$(COMPILER_NAME)$(COMPILER_VERSION)

I hope that this helps make the dashboard more readable.

Regards,
Hans
