Hi EasyBuilders,
I'm trying to translate the existing WRF easyconfig to the new version
WRF 3.8. It seems the developers tried hard to make life hard for
EasyBuild, as the "menu" for selecting the compiler is now not a simple
list any more. The relevant output printed by the ./configure script
looks like this:

Enter selection [1-71] :
So, for the foss-2016a toolchain, the correct option would be 34.
Is this as bad as it looks, or does the run_cmd_qa function already
provide the necessary features to deal with this?
Any help would be appreciated, but I do understand that probably this is
pretty screwed up ...
Someone warned me about this change, but I haven't had time to look at
this yet (and I haven't had a pressing need to bump the WRF version yet
either).
However, it's probably not as bad as it sounds...
run_cmd_qa has support for answering a question where the answer to be
given is a part of the question text (for example, picking a number).
This is already done for versions prior to v3.8, cfr.

It basically boils down to defining the build_type_question regular
expression 'a bit' for version 3.8 (and up).
How good are you with Python and regular expressions? ;-)
