This is an up-to-date fork of the latest Slurm with Meson enabled as the build system.
The goal is to provide both a Meson-enabled Slurm fork as well as standalone patches for existing Slurm installations to become Meson-compatible. This will be done for each major release starting from Slurm 19.05 and continuing until Meson is adopted into the Slurm codebase.
This project was started because I hate Autotools with a burning, fiery
passion and wish it would die a horrible, painful death Autotools is slightly
less dev-friendly than Meson.
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip ninja-build
pip3 install --user meson
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
git clone git@github.com:hintron/slurm-meson.git ~/slurm-meson/slurm
cd ~/slurm-meson
meson setup meson-build/build slurm --prefix=$HOME/slurm-meson/meson-build
ninja -C meson-build/build install
And that's it! On my laptop, the configure stage (meson setup) takes about 5
seconds and the build stage (ninja install) less than 30. For more details,
see meson/howto.md.
For details on how to get started with Meson, see https://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html.
If you are interested in the project, let us know! We are looking for help to get this working on various systems and with various Slurm configurations.
The immediate near-term goal is to get Slurm 19.05 to build solely with Meson.
