[IMP-users] Compiling a module out of tree

[Patrick Goetz <>]

I'm trying to incorporate an out of tree IMP module called bayesianem.

What I thought should be possible is to install the IMP Ubuntu 18.04 
binary package, build bayesianem from source, and add it, but am running 
in to some problems.

According to the IMP documentation 
(https://integrativemodeling.org/2.11.1/doc/manual/uselibrary.html), 
"When IMP is built or installed, it creates a CMake file called 
IMPConfig.cmake which contains information about how IMP was configured 
and where all the parts of IMP can be found."

Unfortunately I could not find such a file anywhere on the system, but 
the bayesianem cmake script is clearly looking for it.  Excerpted from 
bayesianem's source dir CMakeLists.txt:

  find_package(IMP REQUIRED)
  include(${IMP_USE_FILE})

and if I try and do the build I get:
--------------------------------
  By not providing "FindIMP.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "IMP", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "IMP" with any of
  the following names:

    IMPConfig.cmake
    imp-config.cmake
--------------------------------

I also cloned the IMP git repo, but couldn't find anything there, 
either.  The "Building modules out of tree" page
(https://integrativemodeling.org/2.11.1/doc/manual/outoftree.html) talks 
about a  FindIMP.cmake file, but I couldn't find this anywhere either.

Presumably I am doing something wrong.  Can someone give me some 
pointers?  The bayesianem git repo 
(https://gitlab.pasteur.fr/rpellari/bayesianem) is pretty sparse on 
documentation.


Thanks.
