Hi Maxime,
If there's an easy way to discriminate between the commercial TBB and
the Apache-licensed one, or if there is no clear difference w.r.t. what
is provided, updating the existing TBB easyblock makes most sense to me,
otherwise we'll end up with two diverging easyblocks for basically the
same software (module the licensing aspect).
BTW, you may be better of building from source rather than just grabbing
the binary build, maybe the build will be better optimized for your
target architecture?
regards,
Kenneth

No toolchain (or the dummy if you'ld rather). There's a binary
distribution for Linux which does not depend on Intel.

It would probably make sense to make a foss version of tbb. It does
look like it would require a modification to the easyblock.
There are probably some other places this would be useful too.

Hi all,
I need to install Intel TBB as a dependency for the newest version of
Bowtie2. I see that the EB config calls for a licensed software.
However, TBB is now available under Apache 2.0 :

I wonder, should a new easyblock be created, or should it be a
variation
of the existing easyblock ?
Thank you for your guidance,
