Use of binary tarfiles and introduction of lcgcmake high level command (!69) · Merge requests · sft / lcgcmake

Merged Pere Mato Vila requested to merge usebinarytarfiles into master Jul 02, 2018

Added a new option (USE_BINARIES) to make use of binaries in the EOS tarfile release area instead of building the package. This new feature allows to build local installations without the need of CVMFS. Added the 'lcgcmake' command as a high level interface to the LCGCMake tools. The basic instructions are for example:

lcgcmake configure --compiler=gcc62binutils --version=latest [--prefix=...]
lcgcmake install ROOT Boost
lcgcmake run
