Description
It is unclear to developers that TPLs need to be rebuilt when they are updated by others on the team. We should investigate a solution to this so that people don't waste time wondering when their code fails to build.
Possible suggestions (per @samuelpmishLLNL) :
* Pull version number out to its own variable in host-config (ie `SERAC_AXOM_VERSION`) which then gets used in both AXOM_DIR and an internal check at the CMake stage
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reviewing the host-config handling of AXOM_DIR and the CMake stage where TPL versions could be checked. Compare that flow with the suggested SERAC_AXOM_VERSION approach. Done means selecting and documenting a clear way to notify developers when updated TPLs require rebuilding.
