Can't compile using -DFABM_<INSTITUTE>_BASE

[hpowley]

When installing pygetm, CMake is not picking up the -DFABM arguments as in the README instructions:

We have successfully installed with these arguments in the commit from 14th October (bd74f18c1cbb10be563380c5693dbc744842a975)

Confirmed - we are in the process of switching to a more modern installation procedure, and in that process the ability to specify cmake flags to FABM was lost. I have enabled this again. it now follows the same approach as pyfabm: create a new file setup.cfg in <GETMDIR>/python, and in there, add:

[build_ext]
cmake_opts=-DFABM_ERSEM_BASE=<ERSEMDIR>

Note that recent FABM versions already include "ersem" in the default institute list (ignored if -DFABM_ERSEM_BASE is not provided), so no need to set or customize FABM_INSTITUTES.

You'll need a git pull to get the new functionality.

There are some issues remaining in the latest version - I'll report back when those are addressed. Until then, I'd suggest holding off on testing.

The remaining issues have been addressed and all tests are passing. Thus, you could now give the setup.cfg functionality described above a try.

Thanks, I can also confirm that I can now successfully compile with a specific version of ERSEM.

Great, thanks for reporting back.
