AFAIK, nobody has a solution of the type, although all understand the eventual need for it. ie. the show, currently, is largely run around x86_64 builds because that’s where all the testing is done. If anybody implements something around this concept, please be kind and consider configure strings: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.1/buildstat.html # fi. powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu https://gmplib.org/devel/tm-date.html > Would this be a feature request, or is it implementable with some better > knowledge of the EasyConfig setup? IMHO, it is quite clearly a feature request and here is the why: - if varying builds are merged within easyconfigs, too many conditionals emerge: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/blob/master/easybuild/easyconfigs/c/CUDA/CUDA-5.0.35-1.eb - dependencies on specific arch variations, really imply different builds (look sanity steps and later): https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/blob/master/easybuild/easyconfigs/p/PDT/PDT-3.19-ictce-5.3.0.eb - mangling too much `versionsuffix` is not an optimal idea because it distorts your namespace Having your namespace arch-free allows you fi., to swap 64bit builds with 32bit and vice versa best, Fotis -- echo "sysadmin know better bash than english" | sed s/min/mins/ \ | sed 's/better bash/bash better/' # signal detected in a CERN forum
