SCons was using gfortran to build and ifort to link
when ifort was specified in cantera.conf. This ensures
the check function has the correct Fortran in the
environment to compile the test.
If Cantera is being installed to /usr/local, then on Debian-based distros, we
want the Python module to end up in /usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages,
which is actually the default behavior. However, /usr/local/... is *not* the
default installation prefix for Python modules on some other distros (On Fedora,
at least, it's /usr/) so using the default needs to be conditioned on the actual
distro.
If we can compile and run an F90 program that is sufficient. The
previous test required the C compiler to be able to link to the
Fortran standard library, which isn't actually necessary, and would
fail in some cases (such as brew-installed gfortran on OS X).
Cantera no longer requires BLAS / LAPACK (but can use them if available), so it
is never necessary to compile any of the external Fortran or f2c-converted code.
Check for a system copy of Eigen, and if that is not found, install
Eigen's headers with the Cantera headers. Add the header 'eigen_dense.h'
to provide a single header to include from other locations.
Update to current master (pre-3.0), and change remote repository to reflect name
change from cppformat to fmt. Needed to be updated now because one of the
submodules referenced in the 1.1.0 release no longer exists due to the change in
the Github organization name from cppformat to fmtlib.
Compiler options such as '-Wl,-z,rlero' were incorrectly being split into
multiple options by SCons. Compiler options must now be separated by spaces when
specified on the SCons command line.
Fixes#320
Replace distutils with setuptools in the Cython and python_minimal
interfaces. Add console_scripts option to generate OS specific scripts to run
ck2cti, mixmaster, and ctml_writer
Remove script files that are obsoleted by console_scripts from
setuptools. Remove installation of the script modules from SConstruct.
Fix Python installers so that when a prefix directory is specified on the
command line, setuptools doesn't throw an error. The setuptools documentation at
[1] prefers setting PYTHONUSERBASE rather than PYTHONPATH. Use normpath to avoid
bugs in setuptools on Windows [2]. Specify an empty "--prefix" if the compiler
is clang to fix a bug with Homebrew Python on Mac OSX [3].
