I am relatively new to Easybuild so I apologize if I overlooked
something. Is there a way to add extra variables that are local to
environment module files? That would be in addition to the 'root'
variable that is set. As an example, our (non-EB) Gaussian09 module
uses the following to set the user scratch directory:
#%Module
...
set user $env(USER)
...
setenv GAUSS_SCRDIR /scratch/Users/$user
I see the option to add extra environment variables:
modextravars
How can I get the extra variables to use the value of a module local
variable?
The only way right now would be to use 'modtclfooter'.
Since you get no control over the order, you'll probably need to jam the
'setenv' in there too.
modtclfooter = "set user $env(USER)\nsetenv GAUSS_SCRDIR
/scratch/Users/$user"
Note that if you ever start generating module files in Lua syntax (to be
consumed by Lmod), this will simply be ignored; to be 'safe' you should
add the equivalent 'modluafooter' too.
I guess we could add support for something like "modlocalvars", but
since you also want to grab values from the environment, it would have
to be both 'modlocalvarstcl' and 'modlocalvarslua', and I don't like
where this is going... :)
Does this help?
regards,
Kenneth
