1. Development meeting 7 April 2004

2.  Platforms  Build system  CVS structure  Namespace structure  Overall development process Testing

3. Platforms  Languages: ANSI C++ Java (certain projects)  Linux: Gcc >=3.0, Flex+Bison, PThreads, GNU Make, CVS (for checkout)  Cygwin Gcc >=3.0, Flex+Bison, PThreads, GNU Make, CVS (for checkout)  Windows 2000, xp Visual C++ >= 7, Flex+Bison, PThreads, CVS  VxWorks (eventually)

4. Build system  Single build system Lower maintenance cost / time Easier builds, setup time  Possibilities: GNU Make (or just Make?) Boost.Jam Apache Ant  Goal: able to compile the whole system with one command  Discuss pros/cons

5. Making Make work  Recursive makes cd Module/; make Other ways?  Use the compiler to automatically compute dependencies gcc –MM file.cpp => file.o : file.cpp file.h some_other_file.h see sample Makefile  A single Makefile included from the individual modules’ Makefiles abstracts the nastiness Much easier to maintain

6. CVS directory structure  Documentation/ Doxygen Presentations Publications Internal documentation External documentation [user]  Titan  Kirk  Examples/ ST7 BIOPlex  src/ or source/ Model/ [or Structures/???]  Common/ [collection of model-based utilities] Reader/  CCA/ doc/ [Design document.] test/ [Simple toy testing – or unit tests?]  HCA/  Hybrid/  TPN/ Estimation/  ME  CompiledME  HybridME Reconfiguration/  GI GI1 CompiledGI  RP Tools/ [?]  General [was: Util/]  SAT  Generators BFIG etc. Interfaces  DispatcherConnection (down)  CommandListener (up) RTAPI  bin/ [???]  Test/ [regression tests]  Libraries/ Log4cplus, uBLAS, Bayes++ etc.

7. Namespace structure  Definitely a root namespace. Candidates: Mers Titan Kirk  Within – lots of possibilities: One per directory?  Paul: Problem - If include file, have to do both include path and using namespace path where path is long  Paul: No One per logical module?  Maybe – preferably not much depth, e.g. Mers::Model One for the whole group  Except experimental stuff – could

8. Getting this done  … Build system  Order – 2 possibilities: Move ME,MR,etc. to new SAT engine first, then reorganize Reorganize, get things working with old SAT engine, the update ME,MR,etc. to new engine
