Build instructions needed in readme #38

Closed Nicholaswogan closed 3 years ago

Nicholaswogan commented 3 years ago

Hi,

This package looks really cool. But It doesn't build right out of the box. Cmake can't find GFTL. So I downloaded and installed GFTL, then I tried directing cmake to GFTL. But the same error occurred.

Thanks, Nick

Yes - the package requires both gFTL and gFTL-shared. Possibly the similarity of the names through you off? Otherwise if you give me the output from cmake, I can help you troubleshoot.

Another interested potential user here. Is packaging with fpm on the map?

tclune commented 3 years ago

I'm not at all opposed to it, but it's not a current priority. Was hoping some enterprising user would contribute the necessary code. (But please note the need to sign a CLA before I can accept external contributions. Lawyers - sigh.)

I took a quick moment to document the dependencies and the required compiler versions in the README file.

Nicholaswogan commented 3 years ago

Oh ya the similar name between gFTL and gFTL-shared confused me. I thought there was just one dependency. It works! Thanks.

Cheers. If you find any interfaces you'd like to add (or change), please share. I still consider this a beta release, but the need for maintaining backward compatibility is fairly strong.
