> Allow for unbundled dependencies.
> ---------------------------------

> Key: MESOS-8988
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-8988
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Epic
> Components: build
> Reporter: Till Toenshoff
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: build,, cmake
>
> Our CMake setup currently bundles all dependencies and does not allow for
> building against unbundled dependencies.
> We should allow for unbundled dependencies as well.
> Motivation;
> a. It has proven to be problematic to enforce building against the bundled
> versions of our dependencies. Bundled versions may or may not be compatible
> with all of our supported platforms. Namely Libevent >= 2.1.x fails our
> libprocess tests on macOS and Ubuntu 17. This in turn prevents us from
> switching to SSL by default on all platforms.
> b. Historically we tried to not enforce bundling and therefor allowing linux
> distros to supply Mesos packages.
> c. Module authors need to link against the exact same dependency versions,
> where needed. Our autotools setup specifically allows for using unbundled
> dependencies, supporting module authors to cover this task.
> Offering bundled dependencies is per-se a good thing as it eases the pain
> building Mesos - we just need to make that optional.
