EXPORT_MAKEFILES: Can't seem to get Makefile.export.* to show up

[flintpierce]

Question

@trilinos/<EXPORT_MAKEFILES>

I need to generate Makefile.export.* for the Trilinos packages I am building for use with another cmake project (LAMMPS). However, when I build Trilinos with:

-D Trilinos_ENABLE_EXPORT_MAKEFILES:BOOL=ON

I don't get any Makefile.export.* showing up.

@flintpierce Please have a look at https://github.com/trilinos/Trilinos/blob/master/INSTALL.rst#4building-against-installed-trilinos.

@flintpierce, support for export makefiles was removed a while back to accommodate the upgrade to modern CMake. See #8598 and #9284. For a deep technical discussion of this, see TriBITSPub/TriBITS#299.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

@flintpierce Please let us know if there's Trilinos documentation that references Makefile.export so that we can fix it.

https://trilinos.github.io/pdfs/TrilinosBuildReference.pdf is where I found this. I have been looking for a case where someone used Trilinos in LAMMPS. I'm in the process of coupling LAMMPS to SIERRA Fuego, and for this I plan on using STK Coupling, which is part of Trilinos. However, I've had trouble finding anyone (except one case) where Trilinos libraries were pulled into LAMMPS. The one case I found used export Makefiles. I will have to keep looking. Thanks for the help.

At:

• https://docs.trilinos.org/files/TrilinosBuildReference.html#generating-export-files

it says:

The project Trilinos can generate export files for external CMake projects or external Makefile projects.

That was a mention of old support of export makefiles that did not get removed when support was removed. I will fix that.
