Delete CMakeLists.txt #254

Closed stuarteberg closed 5 years ago

stuarteberg commented 6 years ago

Dvid's old BuildEM-based build build system is now deprecated in favor of using conda and a a simple Makefile, as explained in GUIDE.md. The old CMakeLists.txt file should be deleted. It is strange for a code base to have both a CMakeLists.txt and Makefile.

The only thing preventing us from doing this right now is the CI setup, which depends on CMakeLists.txt.

Well, and the dvid creator who clings to buildem due to lethargy :) We should make the switch...

@stuarteberg Would it be possible to handle issue #251 and related issues by using conda build with appropriately old glibc even on newer Ubuntu builds?

stuarteberg commented 6 years ago

Yesterday, I built the new binary packages within a docker container with a fairly old OS (CentOS-6). The binary distribution ought to be capable of running on newer Ubuntu builds. Is that what you mean?

(BTW, I added some basic instructions for the Docker build in GUIDE.md. The process could certainly be streamlined, though.)
