James Clampffer commented on HDFS-11518:
----------------------------------------
Nice! Change looks good to me. Could you just add a comment towards the top
of that CMakeLists file (under the license stuff) listing the option name and
what it does? I assume eventually there will be a few more build config
options so an example on how to document one will help keep things consistent.
A quick example of what you'd add to a cmake invocation to get it into this
mode from the command line would also be helpful e.g. cmake
-DHDFSPP_LIBRARY_ONLY:<not sure if type matters> <value>. Will +1 once that's
added.

> Adding a flag to just build the core library without tools, examples, and
> tests will make it easier and lighter weight to embed the libhdfs++ source as
> a third-party component of other projects. It won't need to look for a JDK,
> valgrind, and gmock and won't generate a handful of binaries that might not
> be relevant to other projects during normal use.
> This should also make it a bit easier to wire into other build frameworks
> since there won't be standalone binaries that need the path to other
> libraries like protobuf while the library builds. They just need to be
> around while the project embedding libhdfs++ gets linked.
