Adding yocto project

There seems to be a number of people using Yocto Project for their embedded systems builds, indeed, I have experimented with it for the Intel Galileo board I dabbled with a couple of years ago. To add this to the CI build server I am going to use the Jethro branch. First step is to […]

Resurrecting Where’s Neil? and the OBD data logger

A little experimenting with the bluetooth OBD units in my car has shown that one of them hasn’t blown yet – I thought my car had a tendency to overvoltage and smoke them, at least a couple have given up their magic smoke. This means there is potential to resurrect the “Where’s Neil?” web page […]

Build break – of-fem-fenics build #156

State of the nation: things are looking up

For the first time since I started running the build server in earnest there are no red dots showing next to any of the projects. I have disabled a few projects, mostly because they are not used by the target projects I am interested in and because they have suffered some kind of build error […]

Build break – obd android #42

Build #42 of the obd android project failed with A problem occurred configuring root project ‘obd android’. failed to find Build Tools revision 23.0.1 I currently have v22.0.1 installed, so time to update the Android SDK. Running ‘tools/android update sdk –no-ui’ doesn’t update my build tools, despite going through some of the downloading/updating process. I […]

More on the dolfin build breaks

Time to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty in the code following my previous chasing of various build errors. The build error I am seeing now is /usr/share/tomcat7/.jenkins/workspace/dolfin/build/dolfin/swig/modules/mesh/modulePYTHON_wrap.cxx: In function ‘PyObject* _wrap_MeshGeometry_set(PyObject*, PyObject*)’: /usr/share/tomcat7/.jenkins/workspace/dolfin/build/dolfin/swig/modules/mesh/modulePYTHON_wrap.cxx:18767:60: error: no matching function for call to ‘dolfin::MeshGeometry::set(std::size_t&, const std::vector&)’ (arg1)->set(arg2,(std::vector< double > const &)*arg3); ^ This is […]

Fixing of-fixed

The fixed package is the most complex of the packages to get installed. There has been some fairly significant code rot since its last release and it doesn’t build any more. There are 55 errors in my first attempt to build it. /usr/local/include/octave-4.1.0+/octave/../octave/oct-cmplx.h:49:10: error: no match for ‘operator==’ (operand types are ‘const volatile FixedPoint’ and […]

More on oftests hanging

So it seems that updating SymPy hasn’t resolved the hang problem. So I have now added a workaround to skip the hanging test. This should at least get the tests running to completion again and producing results – the skipped test will show up as an error-ing test in the results. Except that this isn’t […]

Build break – mesa #181

The mesa project build is failing with “make[5]: *** No rule to make target `brw_cs.cpp’, needed by `brw_cs.lo’. Stop.” Looking at the change logs, this seems like it was caused by Commit dc70c86b9b485cb5006a55cc2efd1f154dbfd469 “i965: Move compute shader code around” – where brw_cs.cpp turned into brw_cs.c Build #189 introduces a new error “make[3]: *** No rule […]
