Hi Jay, I took a quick look and I saw that your package is built on top of LAMMPS. Unfortunately LAMMPS is one of an ever-shortening list of applications not yet supported by EB. Specifically for LAMMPS there have been a few attempts but nothing in the main codebase yet: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyblocks/pull/833
I also saw that you probably have quite a few dependencies (when I tried to compile VTK jumped out). Your particular case might take a bit of effort to get working. You need to do a bit of Makefile editing too (what is contained in Makefile.cirrus for example?).

I am very interested in using EB to migrate some of the codes that I manage that have a current build process. We have installed EB 3.1.0 and I am trying to migrate my first code. I have an existing makefile and a build script. I have looked at the easyconfig list but my code is not listed. Can someone point me to an example that I might be able to reference to get my code (LIGGGHTS) up and running? I managed about 36 other codes that are mixture or COTS and Opensource. I am very interested on working on getting as many as I can into EB. The first aspect to take into account is which build & install procedure the software uses, since that determines which (generic) easyblock you can use. An overview of the available generic easyblocks is available at http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/version-specific/generic_easyblocks.html. A high-level overview of what needs to go in an easyconfig file is available at http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Writing_easyconfig_files.html . If the software doesn't follow a standard procedure, you may need to implement an accompanying easyblock as well, see http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Implementing-easyblocks.html . As Jack already mentioned, the easyconfigs we already have can serve as examples where relevant. If you're looking for examples of a particular easyblock, the search function in the easyconfigs repository may come in handy, see https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=configuremake . While composing an easyconfig file, the extended dry run feature is quite useful, since you can get a quick idea of the build & install procedure that EasyBuild will be running using the provided easyconfig file, see http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Extended_dry_run.html . And of course, if the software is publicly available, consider contributing back the working easyconfig files, see http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Contributing.html#contributing-easyconfig-files . I hope this gives you enough the get started, don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions! regards, Kenneth Thanks, Jay Blair Sr. Applications Engineer | ASRC Federal Data Solutions P&G HPC Account o 513-698-7880 m 937-902-5719 -- Dr. Alan O'Cais E-CAM Software Manager Juelich Supercomputing Centre Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich, Germany Phone: +49 2461 61 5213 Fax: +49 2461 61 6656 E-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> WWW: http://www.fz-juelich.de/ias/jsc/EN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
