Hello, Igniters, Lately I've been working on the C++ components of Ignite and I believe we need to rework the way we are building and shipping C++ components in Linux with Autotools.
I'll explain. Currently build process of the Apache Ignite C++ client library looks like follows: cd $IGNITE_HOME/platforms/cpp/utils libtoolize aclocal autoheader automake --add-missing autoreconf ./configure make sudo make install (sic!) cd $IGNITE_HOME/platforms/cpp/binary ... (repeate above steps for every other library) Basically user needs to build all components (including internal libraries) manually in the right order making a lot of steps. More than that, to build most libs they need to install Ignite components for their system. And additionally they need to have autotools installed for they system to build Ignite. What I propose is to change build process to something as simple as: cd $IGNITE_HOME/platforms/cpp ./configure [--enable-component1 [--disable-component-2] ...] make This will not require root, autotools, knowledge of the sequence and dependencies between internal components and it's just much simpler. Thoughts? Best Regards, Igor
