#40: cleanup Library builds -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: knarf | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Libraries in ExternalLibraries typically leave their build around. In some cases this can take up quite a lot of space - per configuration. E.g. for HDF5 this is about 800MB.
In most cases a 'make clean' after 'make install' would still leave the used source around, but safe most of the space. Another possibility would be to remove the unpacked source completely. I tested the first approach with HDF5 (one one machine), successfully. To test it yourself, uncomment the 'make clean' lines in the HDF5.sh script.

We should instead remove the complete build directories; they are (in most cases) not used afterwards.

Implemented, tested, and committed for HDF5. The GSL implementation is currently being tested by Frank. All other external libraries should be updated later as well.
