Address header-only repositories #175
Description
Activity
Created a WIP commit to address this: bemanproject/exemplar#262
Remaining TODOs on that commit:
- Update
cookiecutterso that users can optionally configure the repository to create asrcdirectory/static library/etc - Update CI so it doesn't run a shared library build on the header only configuration
- Update the README to reflect an accurate install tree
- Get feedback from @nickelpro about where to put the
beman.examplar-config.cmake.infile (see https://discourse.bemanproject.org/t/converting-exemplar-to-a-cmake-interface-type-library/527/2?u=ednolan) - Add a CI test that generates the static-library-based version of exemplar and runs a smoke test to ensure that it builds
- Update
@ednolan I know, it is late, but what if we need support for a
CXX_MODULEStoo?see https://discourse.cmake.org/t/linker-error-with-cxx-modules/15449?u=clausklein
@ClausKlein I think we should do modules as a separate PR -- especially since this is closed.
I wonder if it's time to entertain an update to https://github.com/bemanproject/beman/blob/main/docs/beman_standard.md for modules support?

Yes, it's time!

Currently beman.exemplar is morally header-only but still builds a static library. We need a separate exemplar repository for header-only libraries, or make beman.exemplar header-only and have a separate exemplar for static libraries. We need to decide on what our CMake will look like for header-only Beman libraries.
