This week was dedicated to perfecting CMake Installation Configuration. The installation was tested and bugs were discussed.

Week 5 Progress #

CMake Installation Configuration is almost complete.
FOSSology can be installed completely via CMake
Post install script generation also added
To test the current progress, follow the instructions here

Discussions #

There are permission problems while running bash script of nomos, monk and genvendor.
- One possible fix can be to add bash before each bash scripts.
- The other fix is to modify shebang line in each script from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash.
In copyright agent same files are being compiled thrice, this is slowing down the build.
- I am working on it. The problem is occurring because of three different executables.
- I will try to combine the common objects together.
There are some redundant files in the installation. And VERSION file is missing in /usr/local/share/fossology.

Conclusion and Further Plans #

Fix copyright build.
Remove redundant files and folders.
Fix permission issues.
