Ahoj,

thanks for the software!

Your build system fetches and uses dependencies on it's own (e.g. iMath, OpenEXR). This is undesirable on Unix-systems, where it is desirable and clean to use system libraries.

Can you update your build system to have an easy switch to to

  • use system libraries by default, and
  • switch on downloading and building and bundling libraries standalone?

Regards!

HDRView uses CPM.cmake as I have found this dramatically reduces build issues.

If you want to check for system libraries first, I believe you can set an option to have CPM look for these first, but I haven't tested this.

But this looks like it wants to have source code of the libraries, and compiled libraries + include files are not enough? Hm.

No, I believe that if you set the CPM_USE_LOCAL_PACKAGES option, CPM will use find_package to find the prebuilt/installed libraries and include files. But again, I haven't actually tested this.

This still will download openexr into _deps and builds it, although I have it installed on my system, including header files, and also other packages depend successfully on it.

And later it fails while linking:

[ 60%] Building CXX object _deps/openexr-build/src/lib/OpenEXR/CMakeFiles/OpenEXR.dir/ImfRgbaFile.cpp.o
[ 61%] Linking CXX executable force-random-dither
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnlohmann_json: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/force-random-dither.dir/build.make:100: force-random-dither] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:387: CMakeFiles/force-random-dither.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

.. so maybe it uses the downloaded OpenEXR to build against it, and then tries to use the system OpenEXR to link against it? I don't know.

I don't know either, as this is not a use case for me. One of the reasons I use CPM and download source is precisely to avoid such issues across platforms (previously I would use git submodules, but prefer CPM). This also allows me to use modified versions of libraries (by referencing specific forked github repos), which is sometimes necessary.

In case it's helpful for you, a test only partially worked on my end. It indicated that it used the locally installed version of e.g. imath (though i don't have installed versions of many of the other dependencies, so it fails to download those):
