Hi Joachim, (disclaimer: I contributed the PGI easyconfig and easyblock).
Kenneth decided to ship the PGI easyconfigs/block just in time for 2.6.0, but left out the toolchain with a milestone of 2.7.0. You can find it here: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/pull/1342 Once that's there the higher-level toolchains are fairly straightforward. This is my pompi/2015b toolchain easyconfig: === easyblock = "Toolchain" name = 'pompi' version = '2015b' pgisuffix = '-GNU-4.9.3-2.25' homepage = 'http://www.pgroup.com/index.htm' description = """Toolchain with PGI C, C++ and Fortran compilers, alongside OpenMPI.""" toolchain = {'name': 'dummy', 'version': 'dummy'} compver = '15.7' dependencies = [ ('pgi', compver, pgisuffix), ('OpenMPI', '1.8.8', '', ('pgi', '%s%s' % (compver, pgisuffix))), ] moduleclass = 'toolchain' === I'll have a look at the license file thing too. I modelled it after Intel but the intel easyblock went through some changes in the mean time. Locally I just modify the easyconfig to set this: # license file import os license_file = os.path.sep + os.path.join("software", "CentOS-6", "compilers", "pgi", "license.dat") Bart On Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 9:50 AM, Joachim Hein <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have build a PGI compiler (PGI/15.10-GCC-4.9.3-2.25) using EasyBuild > and need to build more packages against it.
