James Clampffer commented on HDFS-11518: ---------------------------------------- Nice! Change looks good to me. Could you just add a comment towards the top of that CMakeLists file (under the license stuff) listing the option name and what it does? I assume eventually there will be a few more build config options so an example on how to document one will help keep things consistent. A quick example of what you'd add to a cmake invocation to get it into this mode from the command line would also be helpful e.g. cmake -DHDFSPP_LIBRARY_ONLY:<not sure if type matters> <value>. Will +1 once that's added. > libhdfs++: Add a build option to skip building examples, tests, and tools > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-11518 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11518 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: hdfs-client > Reporter: James Clampffer > Assignee: Anatoli Shein > Attachments: HDFS-11518.HDFS-8707.000.patch > > > Adding a flag to just build the core library without tools, examples, and > tests will make it easier and lighter weight to embed the libhdfs++ source as > a third-party component of other projects. It won't need to look for a JDK, > valgrind, and gmock and won't generate a handful of binaries that might not > be relevant to other projects during normal use. > This should also make it a bit easier to wire into other build frameworks > since there won't be standalone binaries that need the path to other > libraries like protobuf while the library builds. They just need to be > around while the project embedding libhdfs++ gets linked. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
