Install PGI Community Edition on Travis CI

This project is intended to provide an easy way to use PGI Community Edition on Travis.

Usage

It is currently possible to use this script with either version of Ubuntu which Travis currently supports (12.04 or 14.04), with or without sudo.

You'll need to run the install-pgi.sh script. There are two main ways to go about that: you can copy the install-pgi.sh script to your repository, or download the latest version from GitHub every time you want to run it.

The main advantage of placing a copy of install-pgi.sh in your repo is stability; you know the script is not going to change in a way that breaks backwards compatibility. On the other hand, stability can also be a disadvantage; you will not be able to take advantage of bug fixes and new versions automatically.

Downloading a copy of the script every time you run it is less stable, but it means you always get the latest version.

We prefer that you download a copy every time; this allows us to better fix any issues, and makes it easier for us to comply with any requests from PGI.

If you do choose to have Travis download a copy every time, you can use this command:

curl -s \
  'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nemequ/pgi-travis/master/install-pgi.sh' | \
  /bin/sh

Most of the time you'll want to add a PGI build to a matrix, not just switch to PGI. In this case, you can do something like:

matrix:
  include:
    - env: C_COMPILER=pgcc CXX_COMPILER=pgc++

before_install:
- if [ "${C_COMPILER}" = "pgcc" -o "${CXX_COMPILER}" = "pgc++" ]; then curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nemequ/pgi-travis/master/install-pgi.sh' | /bin/sh; fi

###
## If we use the matrix to set CC/CXX Travis overwrites the values,
## so instead we use C/CXX_COMPILER then copy the values to CC/CXX
## here (after Travis has set CC/CXX).
###
- if [ -n "${C_COMPILER}" ]; then export CC="${C_COMPILER}"; fi
- if [ -n "${CXX_COMPILER}" ]; then export CXX="${CXX_COMPILER}"; fi

This can easily be extended to test multiple versions of GCC/clang in addition to PGI. For an example, see hedley.

Arguments

Currently, there are several arguments you can pass:

• --dest DIR: Location to install to. Default: ${HOME}/pgi
• --tmpdir DIR: Location for temporary files. Default: /tmp
• --nvidia: Install Nvidia tools.
• --amd: Install AMD tools.
• --java: Install Java tools.
• --mpi: Install MPI tools.
• --mpi-gpu: Install MPI GPU support.
• --managed: Install managed tools.
• --verbose: Be a bit more verbose.

Use a space to separate argument names from values (i.e., --dest /opt/foo not --dest=/opt/foo.
