Make it explicit in CMake when installing NEST from source in a virtual environment #3344

Open gtrensch opened 1 month ago

When installing NEST from source in a virtual environment, CMake path options may inadvertently change the path settings of the virtual environment. See for example the following conversation on the NEST mailing list.

By introducing a new CMake option (e.g., -Dvirtual-env=ON/OFF) to indicates an installation in a virtual environment, CMake could detect and ignore invalid path settings.
