CDMS does not report build failure #1715

Open aashish24 opened 9 years ago

aashish24 commented 9 years ago

Even when build fails, user doesn't get any warning and hence import cdms2 failes.

it's a long outstanding known issue. Probably should be addressed by the very capable minds of Kitware's cmake experts.

doutriaux1 commented 9 years ago

actually, what really should be done is move the configure from libcdms to a real cmake build system. @aashish24 after the release Kitware might want to take a stab at this?

aashish24 commented 9 years ago

@doutriaux1 sure. Yes, we have many reports but I I didn't realize that how quite it is in reporting errors until I hit this issue.

doutriaux1 commented 9 years ago

@aashish24 I think it never ever reported libcdms failure it's probably a legacy issue back from the original build system in the 90s...

aashish24 commented 9 years ago

Wohh!!.. I was in school then :smile: No worries.. we will fix this.

I think @chaosphere2112 was probably in kindergarten or something close back then :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
