libpointmatcher build-system

[RedLeader962]

Implementation of build-system tools for the libpointmatcher codebase

Features:

• build-infrastructure agnostic tools relying on docker container, docker compose and shell scripts
• libpointmatcher build matrix:
  • multi-arch support (currently x86 and arm64v8)
  • multi-os (currently only releasing ubuntu but most logic for handling OsX is already done)
  • multi-os version (currently releasing bionic and focal. jammy will require codebase bug fix related to GoogleTest)
  • multi-libpointmatcher release tag
  • multi-libpointmatcher compile flag setting
• tailor-made build logs to improve dev and debug feedback readability:
  • header, footer and splash screen to quickly identify build step beginning/end
  • two output type: regular consol print and/or TeamCity service message if run on TeamCity server
  • information is structured by build steps: compiling, test, arch, os type, os-version, tag ...
  • meaningful color to highlight code preview and status (warning, passing and failure)
• Docker images are separated by role:
  • libpointmatcher-dependencies for building dependencies
  • libpointmatcher-dependencies-doc for building documentation related dependencies
  • libpointmatcher-ci-pr for building and testing pull-request with fail-fast policy
  • libpointmatcher-ci-sitrep-matrix for building and testing the complete build matrix despite failure so that we can assess the codebase status
  • libpointmatcher for building release image to Docker Hub
• several installer scripts are implemented to handle
  • dependencies installation;
  • python version + packages;
  • documentation related dependencies installation;
  • libpointmatcher installation.

Muted codebase failing tests until they can be investigated:

• Transformation.ComputeRigidTransformDataPoints3D
• Transformation.ComputeSimilarityTransformDataPoints3D

Example

Case › Build matrix all passed

Case › Build matrix sitrep with pass and fail

Can one of the admins verify this patch?

We are depreciating ethzasl-jenkins and changing the CI/CD framework from libpointmatcher. Any comments are welcome, otherwise, we merge in a day!
