This package enables a monolithic build of the fhicl-cpp package. There is no C++ code in this repository--instead, all of the dependencies of fhicl-cpp supplied by the art-framework-suite are built and installed while building this package. These packages include (in dependency order):
Upon cloning this repository, you may build it by simply invoking:
$ git clone https://github.com/art-framework-suite/fhicl-cpp-standalone.git
$ cmake fhicl-cpp-standalone
$ make [-j <n>]Before invoking cmake you must have:
- CMake 3.18 or newer
- A compiler that supports C++17
- A reasonably modern version of Boost
- oneTBB
- SQLite 3
Depending on where these packages are installed, you may need to adjust the cmake command line to instruct CMake as to where it can find those packages.
The preferred way of building and distributing fhicl-cpp is through Spack, which will correctly manage the dependencies without needing this standalone repository. However, this approach is permissible so long as you do not try to use the monolithic build of fhicl-cpp along with products that are linked against a standard build of fhicl-cpp. Doing so will likely lead to violations of the one-definition rule.
