Is there a way to build allpix without the need of externals?

Im currently trying to build allpix on an Ubuntu system but get denied acces to dowloading certain Files while building:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/ExternalData.cmake:1181 (message):
  

  Object MD5=87a94f46c8d982980ed942fe9d370a87 not found at:

    file:///eos/project-a/allpix-squared/www/data/MD5/87a94f46c8d982980ed942fe9d370a87 ("Couldn't read a file:// file")
    https://project-allpix-squared.web.cern.ch/data/MD5/87a94f46c8d982980ed942fe9d370a87 ("HTTP response code said error")

i can theoretically download these files on another system, is there any way to circumvent this issue by modifying the build to search those files locally ? If so, where do i need to look/search for it since im quite new to the whole Cmake thing

Hi @Tim ,

The easiest way to circumvent this (as long as you don’t need [DepositionCosmics]) is to not build that module, via using either ccmake or adding the flag -DBUILD_DepositionConsmics=OFF when you run cmake.
This is just a workaround however. Let me know if you need [DepositionCosmics], and then we can figure out how to do it! I don’t know off the top of my head, but I wanted to get back to you quickly.

Kind regards,
Håkan
