Enhancement: Set paths to dependencies in CMakeLists.txt #523

Hi- Re. the template data, we generally just:
That seems a good way to go, rather than involving the Makefile? Re. managing R and Python envs, what do you have in mind? One difficulty is that users might have different locations/setups for R and Python on their OS, and we wouldn't want to force just one location. We have recommendations listed on the setup pages, but users can do other things, too. Re. CentOS 7: it is certainly fine to build your own, but are you aware of these pre-compiled binaries, too? --pt |
Thank you for the atlas info I couldn't find that information in the online docs. WRT to R and Python environments, I'm suggesting the use of cmake variables rather than relying on system versions. My idea directly addresses the different locations. Unless I'm misunderstanding the build options, there currently isn't a way to specify the location of R or Python. WRT binaries vs a build: Well I've already built this thing :) I prefer to build software when I can. I like to understand the build systems of tools that the lab wants to use. In fact I'd like to submit a PR for some |

Is that |
Our instructions for building AFNI at this point are to use build_afni.py, which downloads the atlases. And if users do not use build_afni.py, they are generally just downloading a pre-built package (like linux_centos_7_64.tgz, which might apply to you), which also comes with atlases. So we do not explicitly tell users how to get them very often, unless they want a special set of atlases. |
I've been building the latest AFNI from source on CentOS 7. I've found it difficult to manage the R and Python
environments. It would be super helpful if the build system allowed me to specify their location.
I think it would also be good to have a make task that gets the template data. I suggest using Github's LFS.
I forked the repo and started working on this for Linux only but got overwhelmed.
