Testing the MARBL Build System

There are two build test scripts in $MARBLROOT/tests/bld_tests: bld_lib.py and bld_exe.py. The former just builds libmarbl.a while the latter also builds the standalone driver that runs the unit tests and regression tests. For known super computers, these scripts build with all defined compilers. For unknown computers, these scripts check to see what supported compilers are in $PATH and test with each of them.

$ ./bld_lib.py
(bld_lib): No machine specified and [machine name] is not recognized
(bld_lib): This test will assume you are not running on a supported cluster
(bld_lib): Override with the --mach option if this is not correct
(bld_lib): Found the following compilers in $PATH: ['gnu', 'pgi']
