[vcpkg-cmake] Update parallel vcpkg_cmake_configure #21507

dg0yt · 2021-11-18T06:57:46Z

What does your PR fix?

Enables parallel cmake whenever ninja is available (non-windows hosts, system Ninja).
Adds "Unix Makefiles" as fallback generator for non-Windows system.
Establishs this order for generator selection:
- If the host is x86 or VCPKG_FORCE_SYSTEM_BINARIES is set, try to find Ninja via find_program.
  - It it cannot be found, then assume that msbuild is requested for windows.
- If msbuild is requested and suitable, use it.
- Else if a particular generator is requested, use it.
- Else if ninja is available, use it.
- Else on non-windows host, use "Unix Makefiles".
Which triplets are supported/not supported? Have you updated the CI baseline?

all, no
Does your PR follow the maintainer guide?

yes
If you have added/updated a port: Have you run ./vcpkg x-add-version --all and committed the result?

incomplete

JackBoosY · 2021-11-18T07:15:40Z

Should we also fix vcpkg_configure_cmake?

dg0yt · 2021-11-18T07:21:50Z

Should we also fix vcpkg_configure_cmake?

I tend to not change it:

Ports shall be switched to vcpkg_cmake_configure for corrected behaviour.
No behavioural change for building old versions of ports when they use vcpkg_configure_cmake.

i would really like separate logs for each config if it is possible.

dg0yt · 2021-11-18T07:42:04Z

i would really like separate logs for each config if it is possible.

Understood. However, this wasn't the case for windows before.
Note that within the single log, ninja clearly separates the individual outputs. (Tested locally with port cpr.)

Understood. However, this wasn't the case for windows before.
Note that within the single log, ninja clearly separates the individual outputs. (Tested locally with port cpr.)

Yeah I know. Windows always puts everything in the same file which is kind of annoying and harder to debug in my view.
The main purpose is

make the files comparable to easily see differences in configure between dbg/rel
make the errors more visible due to the separate logs

dg0yt · 2021-11-18T08:38:05Z

i would really like separate logs for each config if it is possible.

I don't see a simple way to do that portably in the ninja rule, for stdout and stderr.
This leaves only some post processing which also isn't trivial after a failed job.

OTOH the single config log does have some advantages:

The number of files is reduced.
Release config output is available even when debug config failed.

dg0yt · 2021-11-18T15:08:42Z

I don't see a simple way to do that portably in the ninja rule, for stdout and stderr.

cmd has the same redirection syntax as sh. cmd /C for windows then?
If yes, I would also move the cmake chdir to a plain cd.

dg0yt · 2021-11-18T19:23:30Z

bcg729:x64-linux: source write, fix in #21516.

dg0yt · 2021-11-19T06:24:32Z

i would really like separate logs for each config if it is possible.

I'm also curious how you would think about parallelizing the build step. If this is possible at all, via subninja, there is no way to redirect the output. (However, I would leave the install step serialized.)

dg0yt · 2021-11-20T11:11:29Z

I don't see a simple way to do that portably in the ninja rule, for stdout and stderr.

cmd has the same redirection syntax as sh. cmd /C for windows then? If yes, I would also move the cmake chdir to a plain cd.

The cmd approach is doable, writing the command to a cmd file instead of build.ninja. Now the problem is a different one:
vcpkg_execute_required_process is unaware of the log files created via redirection. In case of error, it won't tell you to look at the split files.

dg0yt · 2021-11-23T05:38:34Z

This PR is twofold, a) fixing the working directory for parallel configure, and b) applying parallel configure outside windows. Since it rebuilds a lot of ports, it should be decided if b) shall be left in this PR.
IMO the change is okay, because the behaviour is unified, ninja already takes care of output order, and I prefer to see output of both build types on errors.

JackBoosY · 2021-11-24T09:22:59Z

Waiting for test results.

dg0yt · 2021-11-24T09:41:15Z

This is now expensively rebuilding against an old version of master. Better merge HEAD of master, to fetch the bcg729 update.
(I didn't want to trigger CI by a PR update before knowing the desired direction.)

JackBoosY · 2021-11-24T09:44:11Z

@dg0yt Fine, so please merge to master to retrigger the ci test.

JackBoosY · 2021-11-25T08:37:39Z

hpx regression was fixed in #21617.

wavelib has parallel source writes for test executables, #21671.

dg0yt · 2021-11-26T12:06:48Z

python3:x64-osx:

install: mkdir /Users/vagrant/Data/packages/python3_x64-osx/Users/vagrant/Data/installed/x64-osx/debug/lib: File exists
make: *** [altbininstall] Error 71

In install-x64-osx-dbg-out.log:

...
Creating directory /Users/vagrant/Data/installed/x64-osx/debug/lib
Creating directory /Users/vagrant/Data/installed/x64-osx/debug/lib
...

This error is not related to this PR: python3 uses cmake only for windows incl. uwp. The osx build uses configure+make.
make altinstall has a race condition: In Makefile.def, there are two subtargets which create $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDIR) after checking for its existence. This must be serialized.

If the host is x86, assume that msbuild is requested for windows. If msbuild is requested and suitable, use it. Else if a particular generator is requested, use it. Else if ninja is available, use it. Else on non-windows host, use "Unix Makefiles".

should bump port version, not version-date

That's what I would have done for other version schemes.

If the content of the stuff we install changed, then the version-date should be updated. If only maintainer improvement stuff in the port changed, port-version should be bumped.

dg0yt · 2022-07-20T05:39:42Z

It is nice to know that there is a micro issue with the ms-gltf version update. But before burning more CI time, I need feedback on the core part.

I note that there is a preexisting issue related to vcpkg_find_acquire_program and FORCE_SYSTEM_BINARIES I did not comment on here since it's unrelated to this improvement. (And I don't think other reviewers should block for that either)

BillyONeal · 2022-07-25T19:23:14Z

Thanks for making parallelism work in more places:)

dg0yt · 2022-07-25T19:36:55Z

Now I may turn to vpckg_configure_make. Which has quite some potential.

do/test it outside of that function ;) Make a script port for it.
