The first round some tests will fail and others will segfault. The second
round, still some will fail, but the third round it might pass. At some
point, tests will pass.
The reason for this is that tests assume a lot about which ports they are
given, and also toxcore's default port range has too few ports to run all
tests in parallel. These issues will be fixed in future PRs.
Also reduce number of people in conference to 5, because on Circle CI the
test times out trying to connect more than 6 or 7 people. The persistent
conferences PR will improve this so we can set it much higher then.
Since trusty has more up-to-date packages, we can remove some of the
custom install code. Also, we're not using hstox at the moment, so there
is no need to slow down the builds for now.
This basically means: try until you run out of time (50 minutes on
Travis). On Linux, we really want the tests to pass, so there is no point
in limiting the number of retries. On windows, we don't retry, on FreeBSD
it's limited to 1.
We also never really tested this, because we run make distcheck, which
does another configure with default flags instead of the ones we passed.
Fixes#317.
Having -Werror set by default causes users' builds to fail because
toxcore is not warning-free. Failing on errors is appropriate for the
development phase, e.g. when building it in a CI enviroment, but it
doesn't make much sense to fail builds for users and let them figure out
that they need to pass -DWARNINGS=OFF to make the library build.
Compiling as C++ changes nothing semantically, but ensures that we don't
break C++ compatibility while also retaining C compatibility.
C++ compatibility is useful for tooling and additional diagnostics and
analyses.
We use TRACE=ON (cmake flag) to enable LOG_TRACE. This way, a regular
build can enable DEBUG while not paying the price of TRACE. This is
particularly important for FFI bindings (especially Python), where
invoking callbacks can be an expensive operation.
When cross-compiling to <target> from Linux, cmake might find native Linux
libconfig and decide to build tox-bootstrapd. If the target is Windows, this
will fail, as tox-bootstrapd can't be built for Windows in the first place. If
the target is Linux of some other architecture, then using host native
libconfig will fail too. Thus an option is needed to guard against this.
