Build homogeneity for CMake options?

[marcodelapierre]

Both hipBLAS and hipSOLVER use "USE_CUDA=ON" to specify a CUDA backend build, whereas hipFFT currently uses "BUILD_WITH_LIB=CUDA". (hipSPARSE uses yet another one)

It would probably ease installation efforts if the syntax could be made more homogeneous.

Thanks,

Thanks for raising this issue. We're discussing how best to solve this - one advantage of "BUILD_WITH_LIB=CUDA" is that we can specify other libs, besides ROCM and CUDA, of we decide to support these in the future. But having the same syntax between the libraries is definitely a good idea.

[marcodelapierre]

I agree with the larger flexibility allowed by your current syntax..so perhaps that's the one to be used across all HIP numerical libraries? Probably a good conversation with teams working on the other ones (hipBLAS, SOLVER, SPARSE, ..)

[malcolmroberts]

Absolutely. I have brought this up with the team, and I will see what we can agree on.
