on CYGWIN, Singular LIB files get copied to SAGELOCAL/lib

[dimpase]

On CYGWIN, the Singular LIB files, i.e. files with code in Singular language, normally installed to SAGELOCAL/share/singular/, also get copied to SAGELOCAL/lib/. This, apart from being plainly wrong, is breaking the installation of pyOpenSSL, as mentioned in comments on #13339.

[jpflori]

I agree that's wrong. did you check that everything was ok on a Linux install? I won't have any at hand before tomorrow.

Quite strangely my install log says:

./mkinstalldirs /home/jp/sage-5.2/local/share/singular
mkdir /home/jp/sage-5.2/local/share/singular
for file in `pwd`/LIB/*.lib; do \
  /usr/bin/install -c -m 644  $file /home/jp/sage-5.2/local/share/singular; \
done

while make install-nolns in Singular And then

./mkinstalldirs /home/jp/sage-5.2/local/LIB
for file in `pwd`/LIB/*.lib; do \
  /usr/bin/install -c -m 644  $file /home/jp/sage-5.2/local/LIB; \
done

while make install-libsingular in Singular.

I guess some Makefile is broken for Cygwin as in #12089.

It's OK on MacOSX and on Linux.

Could you post the install logs here please? I should have a Linux install in a few minutes, but that could be useful.

[jpflori]

The problem should be that we call

$MAKE slibdir="$SAGE_LOCAL/share/singular" install-nolns

but

$MAKE install-libsingular

although that does not explain the discrepancy between Cygwin and other systems.

here is a log of Linux install:

[jpflori]

And maybe make install-nolns is rerun as a dependency of make install-libsingular on Cygwin, but not on the other systems where it may be considered uptodate?

Indeed, you only have:

g++ -shared -shared -o libsingular.so \
	iparith.o mpsr_Tok.o claptmpl.o \
	grammar.o scanner.o attrib.o blackbox.o eigenval_ip.o extra.o fehelp.o feOpt.o ipassign.o ipconv.o ipid.o iplib.o ipprint.o ipshell.o newstruct.o lists.o sdb.o fglm.o interpolation.o silink.o ssiLink.o subexpr.o janet.o wrapper.o libparse.o sing_win.o gms.o pcv.o maps_ip.o walk.o walk_ip.o cntrlc.o misc_ip.o calcSVD.o pipeLink.o Minor.o MinorProcessor.o MinorInterface.o bigintm.o pyobject_setup.o bbcone.o bbfan.o denom_list.o minpoly.o  slInit_Dynamic.o -lkernel -L../kernel -L../factory -L../libfac -L/usr/local/src/sage/sage-5.2/local/lib -lsingfac -lsingcf -lntl -lreadline -lgmp -lomalloc
./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/src/sage/sage-5.2/local/include/singular
for file in *.so; do \
	  /usr/bin/install -c  $file /usr/local/src/sage/sage-5.2/local/lib; \
	done

but that's an old spkg, I'd like to also check the later ones (I could also look into the old spkg sources but i'm lazy).

Your Cygwin log is similar to mine.

I'm currently building your 3-1-5.p1 on MacOSX. I'll see what I get soon, and post the log, too.

the problem is reproducible on MacOSX, too. I got all these singular's lib-files in SAGELOCAL/lib, too

I checked the Makefile sources. Indeed, $MAKE install-libsingular shares a dependency of $MAKE install-nolns. Whether it will be rebuilt or not might depend on the actual make implementation, so I'll recommend to add slibdir="$SAGE_LOCAL/share/singular" to all calls of make. (Unfortunately slibdir is not a configurable variable.) Perhaps we should add it to $MAKE?

[jpflori]

Adding slibdir to the second make invocation would please me.

Adding it to MAKE seems a little bit invasive to me, although it might be the only sensible way to be sure that the share dir is correctly set when make is used (for Singular, but imagine we also happen to use make for something else... ok that's exagerated)

Too bad there is no configure option to set slibdir, maybe this is worth an upstream fix? I see that a bunch of other directories can be tweaked at configure time.

Ok course, I intended to changes this locally in the spkg's spkg-install only. If you're sure that this is enough than it's better to do it (even more locally ;-) ) in the second invocation only.

There is an ongoing rewrite of the building system, so this will be done anyway. (Don't beat me for a schedule, Singular refactors many things currently.)

Yeah I understood you wanted to do it locally, and I indeed would prefer to keep it as local as possible.

Great, good luck.

[jpflori]

I can confirm that on Linux I get an horrible LIB directory plenty of lib files :)

[jdemeyer]

This should be fixed by #13237. This ticket still needs_review for the fact that #13237 fixes it.

[dimpase]

Replying to jdemeyer: I can confirm that #13237 fixes the issue on MacOSX 10.6.8.

[jpflori]

The updated spkg installs cleanly on my Linux and Cywgin install as well.

[jpflori]

And I'm happy with the changes in the spkg related to this ticket.
