Introduces a predicate in our build system "use_system_version_of_library"
to answer the question of whether or not to use the system-supplied version
of a specified library (i.e., boost).
This patch does the following:
1.) Remove pcre.h dependencies in the C++ client, and remove some other
unnecessary dependencies.
2.) Clean up how we build the client from the client source tarball, so it's
more like how we build it from the git repo / full source tarball.
3.) Fix up our "scons" so you only have to write "scons ." to build all of our
binaries, the binary archive (zip or tgz) and client source archive (zip or
tgz).
4.) Fix up SCons aliases "core", "tools", and "all".
5.) Let user specify the name of the client tarball via a SCons command line
switch.
Resolves SERVER-4231, SERVER-5255.
Use the "--mongod-concurrency-level=db" flag to scons to enable db-level locking. Defaults
to disabled, can be disabled explicitly with "--mongod-concurrency-level=global".
SERVER-5038 Always build 32-bit when building with --32 on Windows
Set force32, msarch and TARGET_ARCH correctly when --32 is specified.
Verified that this was broken before and is fixed by this patch.
This patch is a reorganization of our build files, which brings them slightly
closer in line with standard SCons organization.
In particular, the SConstruct file sets up the various "build environment"
objects, by examining the local system and command line parameters. Then, it
delegates to some SConscript files, which describe build rules, like how to
compile "mongod" from source.
Typically, you would create several SConscript files for a project this large,
after breaking the project into logical sub projects, such as "platform
abstraction", "data manager", "query optimizer", etc. That will be future work.
For now, we only separate out the special rules for executing smoke tests into
SConscript.smoke. Pretty much all other build rules are in src/mongo/SConscript.
"tools" are placed in site_scons/site_tools.
This patch also includes better support for building and tracking dependencies
among static libraries ("libdeps" and "MergeLibrary"), and some incumbent, minor
restructuring.
This patch introduces a "warning" message from SCons about framework.o having
two rules that generate it. It is harmless, for now, and will be removed in
future work.
Future work also includes eliminating use of the SCons "Glob" utility, and
restructuring the source code into sensible components.
