library installation scrip fails on macOS 10.13 due to incorrect compilation order #80

Closed christoff-buerger closed 7 years ago

christoff-buerger commented 7 years ago

Since macOS High Sierra (10.13) the install-libraries.bash script fails when installing all libraries. The reason is, that the RACR-library directories returned by the list-libraries.bash script are differently sorted; it seems /usr/bin/find is not anymore guaranteeing lexical sorting.

Furthermore, installing atomic Petri nets using install-libraries.bash became impossible, which in turn makes composed Petri nets stale.

Note: The dependency on lexical sorting is anyway problematic in the long run. It is just coincidence that the dependency graph of RACR-libraries aligns with a lexical sorting according to their names. A better solution has to be developed, including non-circular dependency checks. For now, the existing solution has to be hot-fixed.

Fixed and tested on macOS 10.13.
