Hi Davide,
This is indeed not covered by the documentation yet. I wrote a new
section for this, see https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild/pull/261/files).
(for a preview rendered version, see
http://boegel-eb.readthedocs.io/en/iter_opts/Writing_easyconfig_files.html#list-of-configure-build-install-options).
Can you please review this and let me know whether it's clear
(preferably in the pull request itself)?
regards,
Kenneth

Apparently I was wrong. EB does four builds, each configured with the
corresponding configopts line.

Hello,
It is clear to me that in an easyconfig for a
ConfigureMake easyblock the configopts variable contains the
options for the configuration step. However it is not fully clear
to me what happens when instead of a single string configopts is a
list of strings, like in this case taken
from FFTW-3.3.5-gompi-2016.07.eb:
configopts = [
common_configopts + " --enable-single --enable-sse2 --enable-mpi",
common_configopts + " --enable-long-double --enable-mpi",
common_configopts + " --enable-quad-precision",
common_configopts + " --enable-sse2 --enable-mpi", # default
as last
]
My best guess at the moment is that EB will try one string at a
time and, if the configure step fails, it will try the next in the
list. Am I correct?
I tried to look in the doc but I could not find an answer. Unless
I missed it (higly probable) I would suggest adding a couple of
lines under "Configure/build/install command options" .
Thanks!
