Discussion Round: Build System #86

Notes

Makefile

What about removing the Makefile?
LAMMPS Makefile build-system would need to go
Makefile build-system only supports building kokkos inline with the application
Basically the question is not about removing the Makefile, but whether to depend on cmake to be available for it to work

CMake

Should CMake see cuda/hip as a language or through the compiler wrapper
the language way is the only way on windows
CMake doesn't support multi-language well, so each user becomes a cuda/hip language file

Additional notes on Containers

hard to maintain, who are the intended audience?

Kokkos ecosystem CI, maybe just sharing the base Dockerfiles without kokkos would be useful
For tutorials
For onboarding new users
To run on supercomputers: then charlycloud, podman or singularity would be much better
