Dropping support for Makefile.export.* files with TriBITS/Trilinos refactoring to support modern CMake features #8498

Blocked By: #8401

As part of the imminent TriBITS refactoring described in TriBITSPub/TriBITS#299 to use modern CMake target-based features will that will be enabled by the upgrade of the minimum required CMake (see #8401) be that the current implementation for generating export makefiles (i.e. Makefile.export.* files) will be broken and it may be difficult to bring it back.

We discussed this topic and the topic of dropping support for Makefile.export.* files at the Trilinos Product Leaders Meeting on 12/16/2020. The action items that came out of that were:

Add an example raw CMake project in Trilinos/demos/ that uses find_package(Trilinos) and uses some functionality in Trilinos ... See demos/simpleBuildAgainstTrilinos
Create a plan for customers to transition to no Makefile.export.Trilinos files. (I.e., either switch to CMake or manually get the list of libraries you need such as with CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS) ... Plan is for customers to use CMake or manually maintain their link lines (like Sierra does)
Craft and send out an email to various mail lists announcing dropping support for Makefile.export.Trilinos and get feedback from internal and external customers ... Sent out emails on 5/19/2021 stating support will be dropped on 6/10/2021
Send out reminder email about dropping support for Makefile.export.Trilinos on 6/10/2021.
Update documentation on trilinos.github.io related to building against Trilinos (update Find_Trilinos.txt and remove Export_Makefile.txt) ... See PR Dropping support for Makefile.export.* files and update find_package(Trilinos) doc some (trilinos/Trilinos#8498) trilinos.github.io#49 ...
Drop support for Makefile.export.Trilinos from TriBITS and Trilinos 'develop' on 6/10/2021 ... See PR Disable support for Makefile.export.* files (#8498) #9284
Send out one list set of emails to various mail lists announcing that Trilinos 'develop' (as of the merge of PR Disable support for Makefile.export.* files (#8498) #9284) no longer supports Makefile.export.* files.
Talk with Scott Collis about dropping support for Makefile.export.Trilinos (~~meeting set for 6/22/2021~~ ... pushed back till 7/9/2021).

Making this way more general could help: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/blob/master/Clients/CommandLineExecutables/paraview-config.in. That is heavily ParaView-specific, but is an outline of what would be needed for something more generally.

Aw, man. Those things are useful.

bartlettroscoe · 2021-01-06T17:14:07Z

Aw, man. Those things are useful.

@csiefer2, the goal would be to move customers to use CMake for their projects using Trilinos.

csiefer2 · 2021-01-07T03:15:31Z

Guess that just means I need to learn how to write cmake from scratch for little toy codes that use Trilinos...

Do we have any documentation for that?

rppawlo · 2021-01-07T13:25:38Z

Do we have any documentation for that?

Before these changes are pushed into Trilinos, we will have instructions and an example in Trilinos (probably in the demos directory). It's only a few lines of code to pull trilinos into a new cmake app.

bartlettroscoe · 2021-01-07T16:24:33Z

Do we have any documentation for that?

@csiefer2, we will. See above.

csiefer2 · 2021-01-12T20:56:42Z

@csiefer2, we will. See above.

Missed that! Cool! Thanks!

Looks like there is some urgency for at least and example using find_pakage(Trilinos) as per #8857. I can't believe there is no documentation or even an hint in Trilinos about how to do this. (In my defense, I did not write any of the CMake code in TriBITS or Trilinos to support TrilinosConfig.cmake. But I will have to rewrite this as part of TriBITSPub/TriBITS#299.)

Turns out an example of how to build against Trilinos using CMake already exists under demos/buildAgainstTrilinos. I have no idea if that still works or not. I did not even know that this example even existed!

I can test and update this example to make sure it works but then we need to protect this in PR testing.

@trilinos/framework, could you consider setting up the PR builds to do an install of Trilinos and then build and test this example project? We need to ensure that example always works and it will also do some level of installation testing.

PR #9284 removes support for Makefile.export.* files from Trilinos. Ripping out support for Makefile.export.* in TriBITS will actually break a lot of tests because of the dependence of the TribitsExampleProject WrapExternal package that uses a generated Makefile.export.* file to glue things together. I will need to refactor that exact to use either CMake or just a raw link line before I rip out support for Makefile.export.*. By removing support from Trilinos we can deal with any blow back that that may be coming. (who were not on the email lists or were on the emails lists and just did not read the emails).

I just sent out the final set of emails on this topic to the Trilinos developers and users list including the one shown below.

From: Bartlett, Roscoe A
Sent: Monday, June 21, 2021 5:33 PM
To: trilinos-announce@trilinos.org; trilinos-users@trilinos.org
Subject: RE: Trilinos dropping support for Makefile.export.* files

Hello Trilinos users,

Again, if you are not using the installed Makefile.export.Trilinos or the package-level Makefile.export. files, then please ignore.

After some delays, the commit that removed support for the installed Makefile.export.* files was merged to Trilinos ‘develop’ last Friday, June 18. It has yet to be merged to the Trilinos ‘master’ branch. (Looks the ‘develop’ branch has not been merged to the ‘master’ branch in about a month.)

If you have any questions, please let me know, or better yet, please comment in:

https://github.com/trilinos/Trilinos/issues/8498

Otherwise, no more emails will be sent out on this topic.

Thanks,

-Ross

…BITSPub/TriBITS#299) Support for Makefile.export.* files was removed from TriBITS and snaphsotted into Trilinos a long time ago. This support was removed in the Trilinos 14.0 release. There is no reason to keep this cache variable anymore. It just clutters up the base CMakeLists.txt file.
