The user's environmental variables are now passed down to the tests. Previously they had been ignored.
All of the python tests (minimal and full) had been failing for over a year or so for any installations which actually use the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PYTHONPATH environmental variables, which pretty much consists of all multiuser linux
machines.
Documentation can be built independently of the code by using the 'scons sphinx'
and 'scons doxygen' commands, as an alternative to using the options
'sphinx_docs=y' and 'doxygen_docs=y' to 'scons build'.
Try to identify the compiler based on a substring match rather than the
exact string, which will still work when the full path to the compiler
is given, or a version-tagged binary is used.
Check for both the Fortran compiler and the corresponding Fortran library before
deciding whether to build the F90 interface. This will automatically disable the
F90 interface on platforms that provide gfortran but don't put libgfortran in a
standard location.
Fixes issues with mismatched compilers between the Cython extension and the
cantera library, especially on OS X. Improves build dependency resolution to
eliminate unnecessary recompilation of _cantera.cpp.
Matlab's practice of substituting an "8 byte integer" BLAS/LAPACK
library for the "4 byte integer" BLAS/LAPACK libraries that Cantera is
designed to use causes Cantera to crash. This can only be avoided by
statically linking Cantera to BLAS and LAPACK, e.g. by using the
BLAS/LAPACK implementations included with Cantera.
Since the Matlab toolbox itself needs to be a shared library, it is
not usually possible to link statically link it with vendor-provided
BLAS/LAPACK libraries, since they are not compiled with the
appropriate options, i.e. '-fPIC'.
Resolves Issue 34.
Took out single_species compilation option
took out some deprecated warnings
Fixed an error in copy constructors for thermo.
Still an error with PYTHONPATH and the test suite
-- more to come.
The set of Boost libraries which are required by Cantera, through the use of
Boost.Thread, depends on the Boost version. The static libraries are needed
when compiling anything that links to Cantera, so these libraries are copied
to the Cantera installation directory on Windows, where compiling Boost from
source is a burden.
This fixes an issue when the Python interpreter prints startup messages that
appear before the expected output lines. Known to be a problem with the Anaconda
Python distribution.
In particular, this fixes paths for Linux distros that put Python modules in
'lib64/pythonX.Y/site-packages'.
Also fixes the reported installation path for the Python module on Windows.
