#136: Don't rebuild external libraries so often --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: review Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by eschnett):
The patch is missing the declaration of GSL_INSTALL_DIR in the configuration.ccl file. Or do you envision this to be a global environment variable instead of a Cactus configuration variable?
It's a somewhat dangerous options; e.g. we couldn't use it in our standard simfactory option lists, because there is no mechanism to clean these external locations. It's also dangerous because it doesn't take compiler compatibility into account.
However, these are not arguments against such an option. What do others think?
