Finish off CPack configuration for linux

[Peter Peterson]

(In [10616]) Adding contact information. Refs #2781.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [10618]) Adding checks for the types of binary packages to create. Refs #2781.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [10620]) Fixed up the autodetection of package creation tools. Refs #2781.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [10623]) Shuffled around the dependencies to make it clearer what the rhel5/rhel6 diffrerences are. Refs #2781.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [10652]) Renamed all of the color maps to make cpack (and Stu) happy. Refs #2781.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [10671]) Moved getting the framework version from Framework/CMakeLists.txt into CommonSetup.cmake so cpack has access. Refs #2781.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [10672]) More smoothing out of everything. The filenames now follow their os's standards. Refs #2781.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [10687]) Better naming of rpms. Refs #2781.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [10688]) Needs to be uppercase. Refs #2781.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [10692]) Removing poco-doc from the list of requirements. Refs #2781.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [10735]) Tagged icon for installers. This will probably need to be changed. Refs #2781.

[Peter Peterson]

The only thing that I notice is missing now is to add MantidPlot to the path. I haven't tried anything other than starting it up and look for warnings to appear.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [10770]) Create and install files to set environment variables on Mantid installation (on Red Hat at least). Re #2781.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [10804]) Comment out to fix SNS rhel builds until I figure out how to do it without being root. Re #2781.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [10816]) Put this back in - it's working for me without a sudo. Re #2781.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [10818]) Buildservers unhappy. CMake version? Stem the spam. Re #2781.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [10827]) Another go, having set a flag in the Jenkins config. Re #2781.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [11034]) Switch svn info variable used from repo latest to last commit. Should give right answer when building off a tag. Re #2781.

[Nick Draper]

Bulk move of tickets at the end of iteration 28

[Russell Taylor]

I think this is finished...

[Russell Taylor]

P.S. It needs to be tested on clean machines of all platforms (rhel5, rhel6, ubuntu)

[Stuart Campbell]

Installed on a clean RHEL 6 machine - looks ok.

[Stuart Campbell]

On ubuntu 10.10, when doing a plain {{{make package}} I get the following error:

CPack: Create package using DEB
CPack: Install projects
CPack: - Run preinstall target for: Mantid
CPack: - Install project: Mantid
CMake Error at /home/scu/MantidBuild/Debug/cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE):
  file INSTALL cannot copy file "/home/scu/MantidBuild/Debug/mantid.sh" to
  "/etc/profile.d/mantid.sh".


CPack Error: Error when generating package: mantid

[Stuart Campbell]

Building works with sudo make package. But trying to install gives...

scu@ubuntu:~/MantidBuild/Debug$ sudo dpkg -i mantid_1.28.11169-1_amd64.deb 
dpkg: error processing mantid_1.28.11169-1_amd64.deb (--install):
 parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 6 package 'mantid':
 `Depends' field, syntax error after reference to package `boost'
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mantid_1.28.11169-1_amd64.deb

[Russell Taylor]

Then, as I don't have an ubuntu machine, it's all yours :) Or you can spin off a new ticket for the next iteration and we'll just not announce a deb yet.

N.B. make install should be possible without being root, but depending on cmake version may need the variable CPACK_SET_DESTDIR set to ON

[Stuart Campbell]

Created ticket #2887 to fix the CPack DEB package.

[Michael Reuter]

A new ticket has been made for this on the next iteration.

[Stuart Campbell]

This ticket has been transferred to github issue ​3628
