question: how to develop based on qe-compiler about qe-compiler HOT 5 OPEN

Thank you @Zhaoyilunnn, happy to help however you might like. In general, as you're making progress I'd love to chat to understand better what you are trying to do and how to enable it.

An obfuscated version of our top-level CMakeLists to integrate the project

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.25)
project(target-compiler)
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/build_tools/cmake ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH})

set(QSSC_SYSTEMS_DIR
        "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/targets/systems"
        CACHE STRING
        "The directory containing the common systems"
        )

option(QSSC_WITH_MOCK_TARGET "Available targets include the built-in mock target" ON)
option(QSSC_WITH_SYSTEM_CONFIG "Use system_config to retrieve configuration for targets" OFF)
option(QSSC_BUILD_DOCS "Build the documentation for the compiler" ON)

# List of directories containing compiler targets. Subtargets should be
# listed first so that they are built before top-level targets
set(QSSC_TARGET_DIRS
        ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/targets/systems/YourTarget;
        CACHE PATH
        "List of directories containing compiler targets."
        )

set(QSSC_TARGET_TEST_DIRS
        ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/targets/systems/YourTarget/test;
        CACHE PATH
        "List of directories containing compiler LIT test suites."
        )

set(QSSC_TARGET_PYTHON_DIRS
        ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/targets/systems/YourTarget/python_lib/
        CACHE PATH
        "List of directories containing compiler target python additions."
        )

# Build type
if (NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)
    set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug)
endif()
set(CMAKE_COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR ON)

# Here is the submodule which we integrate through
# the Cmake build system with
add_subdirectory(qe-compiler)

In this way our internal project contains our targets in a very similar way to https://github.com/openqasm/qe-compiler/tree/main/targets/systems/mock with a top-level cmake file which we use to generate internal binaries. The rough project structure is

• target-compiler/

  • qe-compiler/ (submodule)
  • targets/systems/YourTarget/
  • CMakeLists.txt

We could be very interested in enabling the pathway to remove the qe-compiler submodule and replace it with a Conan dependency.

@taalexander Thanks a lot for your example CMakeLists.txt, actually I gave up making qe-compiler a conan package and adopted a similar top-level CMakeLists.txt ^_^

I am still in the progress of finding the correct way to make it a Conan package. I will make a PR once I figure it out

from qe-compiler.

I made some changes to existing config files main...Zhaoyilunnn:qe-compiler:zhaoyilun-local-conan-package

Then a local conan package can be built through conan create . zhaoyilun/qe-compiler --build=outdated -pr:h default -pr:b default -o qss-compiler:pythonlib=False

from qe-compiler.

Hi @Zhaoyilunnn, thank you for writing up this issue. The qe-compiler is still in its infancy of being an opensource project and we certainly have a lot of work to do in migrating documentation that needs to be resumed.

Note that I can seamlessly build qe-compiler locally, but I just cannot build a conan package of it and then make my own project dependent on qe-compiler.

In particular, we have not attempted this path to development yet, but are very interested in this. Internally, we are using the project as a submodule with integration through the Cmake build system.

We would be very interested if you could make a draft PR demonstrating this work so that we could discuss how it might be incorporated in-tree.
