Simplify or remove override-build sections #105

Closed WebDrake closed 3 years ago

WebDrake commented 4 years ago

snapcraft now actively supports using the ninja cmake backend, so in general we do not need to override-build to use this. This allows us to go back to regular configflags settings for the ldc-bootstrap and llvm parts, although we have to add source-subdir settings to llvm because its CMakeLists.txt file is not in the source root.

For the ldc part we can move all the cmake config flags and simplify the override-build to just run snapcraftctl build followed by the search-and-replace dmd-testsuite workaround, and the call to ctest.

We also need to make one small tweak to the ldc part configflags: when setting DLIB_SUFFIX, we need to use $$ to escape the $ for ninja, and drop the surrounding quotes in order to ensure the scripted segment is passed to cmake correctly by snapcraft.

I'm a bit mystified as to why this PR is continuously failing, as it works fine when building locally. Something to do with Azure Pipelines, perhaps?

WebDrake commented 4 years ago

OK, seems that the failure here is due to how snapcraft treats environment variables created by Azure Pipelines: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/cmake-plugin-failure-in-azure-pipelines/15825

The drop! patches can therefore be abandoned, and we can return to this PR once snapcraft itself is fixed.

Rebased and retargeted on 1.20 and dropped all the unnecessary drop! patches.
