#2692: Inclusion of FUKA importer thorns

Reporter: tootle Status: new Milestone: ET_2023_05 Version: ET_2023_05 Type: proposal Priority: blocker Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn

Comment (by Roland Haas):

I see. An ET provided Boost ExternalLibrary would have to include all of Boost, both the STL template parts and the compiled parts, since we would not know what each thorn uses.

If the dependency persists the is should be listed in `configuration.ccl` along with `GSL` etc.

You may also need to consider an `OPTIONAL` dependency on `CMake` in particular if you require a non-ancient `cmake`. Some of CarpetX dependencies do that (AMReX, ADIOS I think) and can optionally use a cmake in `${CMAKE_DIR}/bin/cmake` instead of just `cmake`. I think the two of them between them now require cmake `3.23` (from around July 2022, so very very recent for HPC clusters).
