Derecho should be able to support packaging (make install).

[songweijia]

Currently, it requires a lot of work to use derecho as part of the application. The application developer needs to understand where to pull the headers and dynamic libraries from the derecho source tree. We should make derecho easy to use as other libraries do. I discussed with @mpmilano, @sagarjha, and @etremel today. And we agreed to refactor the derecho source tree to enable this feature.

1. Source code organization

• include
  • derecho [ public header files to be installed in /usr/include ]
  • private [ private header files not exposed to applications ]
• src [ the structure is consistent with the current layout ]
  • core [ renamed from derecho ]
  • rdmc
  • sst
  • persistent
  • conf
  • tcp
  • utils

2. Remove 'third_party' folder, but provide instructions/scripts to install the dependencies:

• libfabric
• spdlog
• mutils, mutils-serialization, and mutils-container (needs to add cmake support to them.)

3. merge the following .so into a single libderecho.so file

• libderecho.so
• libsst.so
• librdmc.so
• libpersistent.so
• libconf.so
• libtcp.so
• libutils.so

By commit abe3465 on packaging. About to merge to master.

TODO:

• Update README.md
• Install example configuration files to /share/derecho

[songweijia]

Solved at commit 85676a9@master

• The refactored header files now follow C++ STL and Boost convention, with a detail folder in each module.
• Added installation scripts for dependencies.
• Added preliminary versioning (Edward is working on an advanced versioning feature)
• Sample configuration files are now installed to /share/derecho/
