gFTL

gFTL copied to clipboard

Hi,

for the Debian package, I would need to put the files to places similar to the existing ones, which would be like this:

• Include files to /usr/include/gftl/ (with subdirs templates and types)
• cmake files to /usr/share/cmake/gftl/
• Makefile include file to /usr/share/gftl/gftl.mk

I tried to change the file paths via a patch, but when then building gftl-shared, the gftl include path is not set, and therefore the gftl include files are not found. That has been working with 1.2.7, but now stopped. But maybe there is a simple way to put the install paths as parameters during the cmake run? Unfortunately, I am not good in CMAKE; could you give me some advise?

Thank you

Best regards, Ole

I believe cmake provides settings that allow to override the conventions about where various bits are installed. I am happy to accept a PR that would provide something like that as a non-default option, but am wary of trying to implement this myself. I do not have access to any system where I have sufficient permissions to test such a change.

But I think you correctly assessed that something bad happened with the change for 1.3.0. It appeared to work, so I accepted a PR, but it broke all of my downstream projects. I undid the release, but did not revert the change in the hopes that the contributor could fix. This weekend I'll try to get 1.2.7 back to the head.
