DPL: allow decoupling from JAlien and retrieve JAlienFile, if available #5073
Conversation
This way we can have the plugin depend on JAlien and not require everyone does.
|
@costing @Atlantic777 @aphecetche I've not been able to convince CMake to add the JAlien include / link paths, though. Is that actually possible at all? |
|
Ok, looks like I somehow managed by working it around on the O2 side. @aphecetche could you crosscheck? @costing / @Atlantic777 can we have some work allocated to have a proper CMake module for JAlien? |
|
@jgrosseo this should allow you to retrieve whatever information is needed by Hyperloop for the file stats. The lines you can hook into is https://github.com/AliceO2Group/AliceO2/pull/5073/files#diff-9e3354c94a571c4eeb0e41d2a6f49b23ffe0a74cd38dd87a07cef1d1f67e2553R305. |
|
We probably need some changes in alidist/o2.sh as well, but first we need this one merged. |
|
Thanks! |
This is the groundwork to be able to access TJAlienFile from the reader (without requiring everyone to depend on JAlien).
|
@ktf I've had a quick look at the cmake parts, and they look reasonable. It's just a pity that we have to provide FindXXX.cmake files because those packages are not cmake friendly and do not provide relevant cmake config files :-( |
|
@aphecetche thanks and agreed it's a pity, although given the amount of complications getting a config file in CMake requires, I am not surprised... |
This moves the file reading in a plugin like shared library, so that we do not need to have everything depend on JAlien.
