#1764: Error with compilation of HWLOC ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: maxim.barkov@… | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: blocker | Milestone: ET_2015_05 Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version Resolution: | Keywords: HWLOC ------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
Comment (by rhaas):
I think the comments in the cfg files should ideally list two sets (a) the minimal packages required to build and (b) additional ones that can be used to speed up compilation of the thorn activated by default in the einsteintoolkit.th by simfactory on that machine. The hope is to have set (a) be more robust than set (a)+(b) so that the option list can also be used if users cannot eg install hdf5-serial-dev because petsc needs to be installed and wants hdf5-parallel.
Since we do not include boost in the default thornlist or have simfactory activate it by default I think we should not give the intention that it is required in the thorn lists.
