* AutotoolsPackage: added configure_directory to permit build out of source. The configure script executable is now invoked with an absolute path. Modified a few packages accordingly.
* build_systems: functions returning directories are now properties
* build_systems: fixed issues with tcl and tk
* AutotoolsPackage: reworked recipe for autoreconf
Pkg-config depends on glib which depends on pkg-config. As a result,
pkg-config used to build glib internally. However, this fails on Mac.
Building pkg-config with an internal glib is now a variant, turned on
by default, and required to build glib.
+ Always depend on the gettext package. This simplifies the logic and I no
longer need to 'import sys'
+ Only apply the patch for the older version of glib.
WIP: I started trying to build gtkplus@3.20, but this package has many more
dependencies than v2 and it requires newer versions of existing packages. This
commit provides updates for 5 packages that are required by GTK+3. This is not
the complete set of changes required for GTK+3.
atk - move default version from 2.14 -> 2.20.
glib - move default version from 2.42 -> 2.49
- v2.49 requires pcre+utf as a new dependency.
pcre - if variant +utf is selected, add '--enable-unicode-properties' to the
configure options.
libepoxy - new package to spack
- manages OpenGL function pointers.
pango - move default version from 1.36 -> 1.40
This commit adds a patch to fix the case where gcc-6.1 emits an error
for string format literal that was a warning in previous versions of
gcc. The patch reference is
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761550
Also ran the package file through autopep8.
Package repositories now look like this:
top-level-dir/
repo.yaml
packages/
libelf/
package.py
mpich/
package.py
...
This leaves room at the top level for additional metadata, source,
per-repo configs, indexes, etc., and it makes it easy to see that
something is a spack repo (just look for repo.yaml and packages).
