[Sablevm-developer] Another build script for review :-)

[Grzegorz B. P. <ga...@de...>]

Hi!

I thought that it could be cool to join the new sport that appears to
be born on this list - creating new build scripts for SableVM.

So I sat down and wrote a completly new script.......
I encourage you to download it and try yourself, but to make it easier
for you to get interested in it - here's the output of 'help' command:

Usage: script operation [package|...] [option|...] 
Operations:
  help        - this help screen
  unpack      - unpack source(s) from current directory
  build       - clean, configure and build specified packages
  install     - install specified packages
  autoinstall - if needed: unpack and regenerate, then build and install
  uninstall   - uninstall specified packages
  regenerate  - do the aclocal, libtoolize, autoconf and auto* dance
  indent      - indent sources in specified packages
  ctags       - create ctags for specified packages
Packages:
  sablevm     - sablevm-$VERSION[.tar.gz]
  native      - sablevm-native-library-$VERSION[.tar.gz]
  classes     - sablevm-class-library-$VERSION[.tar.gz]
  all         - all of the above
Options:
  version=x.y.z - operate on specified version [default=auto]
  dest=/abc/xyz - install in specified directory
                    [default=`pwd`/root/usr/local]
  debug         - 'build' with debugging features enabled [default w/o]
  scriptdbg     - output debug information while running this script
  cvsmode       - we act a bit differently when using CVS repositories

Some things don't work yet, like: autoinstall, uninstall, indent, ctags
and cvsmode, but it shouldn't be hard to add them.

The script also has some nice features, like remembering last options
and packages on which the operation is to be done. So you can do:
script unpack all version=1.0.6 dest=./root/usr/local debug
and then you can simply do:
script build
script install
and it will know what to do based of parameters given previously.

I'd like to hear from you what you think and in case you were interested
in using it - I am open for any suggestions and your help :-)

Cheers,
