Coding Week 5 Meeting

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.
