Bioc-release
Bioc-devel

Manages a Cmake installation for use in building Bioconductor packages, eliminating the need for manual end-user installation of Cmake via SystemRequirements: cmake. This package is a no-op if a suitably recent version of Cmake is already present on the host machine, otherwise it fetches Cmake binaries from the official website.

Usage is as simple as calling:

biocmake::find()

... to get the path to the Cmake executable, either on the PATH if a suitable version already exists or in a biocmake-managed installation. Developers can additionally call biocmake::configure() to propagate R's configuration options (e.g., compiler choice) into the Cmake build.
