Hi Keith toolchains are not installed by default, you need to build/install one toolchain and then use it to continue building more apps. You can list all the toolchain that easybuild supports by default with the command " eb --list-toolchains" to decide which one you want to use.
I recommend you to start testing with goolf-1.4.10. To install this toolchain this command should work (it will take a while...) eb goolf-1.4.10.eb -r 2014-03-06 22:43 GMT+01:00 Keith Hostetler <[email protected]>: > The thing I can not wrap my head around is, like it says on your link, > "supported toolchains".
