Setting Up the CMake Build

--------------------------
|

|

You should follow standard CMake conventions in setting up your
|
||||
software, your CMake build should NOT depend on or require Spack to
|

build. See here for an example:

that your package will build the same with or without ``spack

-------------------------
|

Writing the Spack Package
|
||||
---------------------------------------
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you have a CMake build, you want to tell Spack how to
|
||||
configure it. This is done by writing a Spack package for your
|
||||
software. See here for example:
|
||||
https://github.com/citibeth/spack/blob/efischer/develop/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/icebin/package.py
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/citibeth/spack/blob/efischer/develop/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/icebin/package.py
|
||||
|
||||
You need to subclass ``CMakePackage``, as is done in this example.
|
||||
This enables advanced features of Spack for helping you in configuring
|
||||
your software (keep reading...). Instead of an ``install()`` method
|
||||
used when subclassing ``Package``, you write ``configure_args()``.
|
||||
See here for more info on how this works:

|

NOTE: if your software is not publicly available, you do not need to
|
||||
set the URL or version. Or you can set up bogus URLs and
|
||||
versions... whatever causes Spack to not crash.

|

|

|

Now that you have a Spack package, you can get Spack to setup your
|
||||
CMake project for you. Use the following to setup, configure and
|
||||
build your project::
|
||||
build your project:
|
||||
|
||||
cd myproject
|
||||
spack spconfig myproject@local
|
||||
mkdir build; cd build
|
||||
../spconfig.py ..
|

make

make install

$ cd myproject

$ spack spconfig myproject@local

$ mkdir build; cd build
|
||||
$ ../spconfig.py ..
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install

perspective, except that ``spack spconfig`` creates the file

Activating your Software

Once you've built your software, you will want to load it up. You can
|
||||
use ``spack load mypackage@local`` for that in your ``.bashrc``, but
|
||||
that is slow. Try stuff like the following instead:
