Add support for dynamic lib and tests with CMake

barracuda156 commented 1 year ago

Currently the port builds only static libscifor.a. Would be nice to have an option for dynamic lib. Aslo, no support for tests with CMake (?).

At the moment we have no plans for these.

Do you have a specific interest in a dynamic library? We use SciFor only with other open-source libraries, hence we never had a need for dynamic linking, since we can always compile the user code. Nevertheless we have no issues to add an option for that, feel free to propose a pull request for that, if interested.
Tests are compiled via make, which is a very minimal requirement on the testing machine (and anyway needed for the CMake-based build of the library). Are there any advantages in building also the tests with CMake?

Got it, thank you for reply. The issue is not, of course, not having make, but using a single build system for everything.
