Store files somewhere beside /tmp?

[dpo]

What's in /tmp that requires a rebuild?

[timholy]

/tmp gets wiped when you reboot, and

$ cat cutestenv.jl 
PATH = get(ENV, "PATH", "")
MANPATH = get(ENV, "MANPATH", "")
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = get(ENV, "LD_LIBRARY_PATH", "")
ENV["ARCHDEFS"] = "/tmp/tmplJ4BFj/archdefs"
ENV["CUTEST"] = "/tmp/tmplJ4BFj/cutest"
ENV["SIFDECODE"] = "/tmp/tmplJ4BFj/sifdecode"
ENV["MASTSIF"] = "/tmp/tmplJ4BFj/mastsif"
ENV["MYARCH"] = "pc64.lnx.gfo"
ENV["PATH"] = "/tmp/tmplJ4BFj/cutest/bin:/tmp/tmplJ4BFj/sifdecode/bin:$PATH"
ENV["MANPATH"] = "/tmp/tmplJ4BFj/cutest/man:/tmp/tmplJ4BFj/sifdecode/man:$MANPATH"
ENV["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"] = "/tmp/tmplJ4BFj/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

Perhaps this is an unintentional consequence of the build script writing its log files to a directory created by mktempdir? I naively assumed this was intentional.

Really not intentional. Looks like a result of this line.

I'll fix. I'm also curious about this line. Why delete the file if everything is already installed?

Ah I guess I naively thought cd would "come back" when the function exits.

The idea is that if validate_cutest() returns successfully, a pre-existing installation of CUTEst has been found (outside of Julia, e.g., with Homebrew). In that case cutestenv.jl should be removed because the environment variables in it may not point to the location of the working installation.

It does if you use the do-block form.

In that case cutestenv.jl should be removed because the environment variables in it may not point to the location of the working installation.

Ah, thanks for explaining.

See #104.
