Installation does not work about cppnumericalsolvers HOT 6 CLOSED

    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
    make all

Is correct, you need to call cmake inside the build-dir. No sudo, but everything in the correct directory.

Yes, I did that. I corrected the bug report. But it does not copy the header files to /usr/local/include. Apart from that some of the cppoptlib headers use gtest. Is this intended? I have to link the library to compile any code that uses cppoptlib.

Ah. Ok. It is not intended to copy the header files there to usr/include, yet. For other projects simply add the include path to the solver directory.

That cmake-install is definetely a bug. It should not be there. In general there should not be a dependency to gtest outside the verify.cpp file. I will look at that.

Do not forget to explicitly use the release mode (see other issue).

Thanks.

Are there any plans to make it possible to install the library in the system? I think we only would have to

• add something like install(DIRECTORY include/... DESTINATION include/...)
• install a config for find_package and/or pkg-config like in this library
• get rid of the gtest dependency by default

from cppnumericalsolvers.

Getting rid of "gtest" is my goal. In my opinion it is not the best solution currently to install it in the system. This would prevent a "git pull" update.

from cppnumericalsolvers.

Well, that would still be possible. You don't have to call make install.
