Hi,

I found an old and unfinished patch in my pile. It optimizes building 
with cmake by not building the test if "#:tests?" is false. (Basically 
it passes -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF/ON" depending on "#:tests?".)

Is this of interest? Then I would take my time and finish the patch.

This looks pretty cool but it might rebuild many packages. Or am I 
mistaken here? core-updates?

Yes, many, many packages. Thus of course, this would need to go into 
core-updates.

Yes, this looks like a neat improvement.

I think another patch would be a good candidate for core-updates if
cmake-build-system is being updated:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/68366

It is also needed for:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/69476

Hi Hartmut,

I have been testing a set of patches (since last summer) based on the
following mailing list discussion (from 2021) to rewrite the
cmake-build-system build, check, and install functions to use cmake
utilities rather than depend on the gnu-build-system. This allows for
parallel tests and a package-defined #:generator.
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-10/msg00055.html

I will submit a patchset shortly for review and if accepted we can
look to combine all the cmake patches for the large rebuild. Perhaps a
version update for cmake-bootstrap (v3.24 released August 2022) at the
same time?

Greg

Yes, of course we should combine them. May I ask you to take care of it 
and include mine, which I just posted:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/69554

Many thanks in advance.

Also, isn’t ‘BUILD_TESTING’ a convention rather than a flag CMake always
honors?

Yes, it's more like a convention, as the patch says: "Anyhow, the 
CMakeLists.txt needs to implement handling this flag."

Do you want the text in the documentation to be more verbose on this?

I submitted #70031 without including this patch due to the time to
rebuild and test cmake dependencies, but will include in a v2 with any
additional post-review updates.

These patches will need to wait until core-updates is merged to
master, hopefully soon.

Greg
