Hello Ward,
thanks, it is exactly my problem in fact (multiple directories
created) but you gave me the answer:)
I have now another error, as I need to patch the Makefile provided
with Gadget2.
I have copied the Makefile in my work directory as Makefile.o and Makefile
Modified the Makefile.
Created the diff : diff -u Makefile.o Makefile
> Gadget-2.0.7-makefile-hardcoding.patch
Error message: "Can't determine patch level for patch"
EasyBuild tries to guess the patch level based on the first +++ line in
the patch file.
Usually, this works out well if the patch was created with the top-level
directory included in the filepaths, i.e. (wild guess included):
diff -u Gadget-2.0.7/Makefile.o Gadget-2.0.7/Makefile
Of course, this assumes that a file named 'Makefile' is there after
unpacking; maybe only Makefile.in is there, in which case the guessing
of the patch level (and the patching itself too, of course) will fail.
You should then patch Makefile.in instead.

Kenneth

Gadget2, so I need to instruct easybuild to cd to that directory.
Is this possible or I need to write my own easyblock? I'm using
the easyblock MakeCp as there is no configure.
You don't need to do anything. EB will first extract the provide
source and then cd in the directory that was created. It is only when
multiple directories are created that you need to help EB and tell
which one to use (with the start_dir variable in the easyconfig). If
you run eb with the -l option, you should see that it changes to the
extracted directory, the variable is called start_dir.
