Hello Alan,
and thank you for your answer.
I have read the use case but didn't really reach a conclusion to an
issue that I got.
I did get the dependencies needed from our global tree, but I ran into
an issue.
We are using a hierarchial module naming system and when loading e.g.
the foss module it will only add the system path, never my local path
~/.local/easybuild/modules/all/MPI/GCC/...
So even if it does build the dependencies needed and install them to my
local path, it is not able to load them when it builds the actual module
that I want.
Best regards,
Alexi

Dear Alexei,
There is a long discussion about this use case in
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/issues/2143 and
how to do it.
In a hierarchical scheme you would have to rebuild any modules you
have that extend the path setting (with EASYBUILD_SUBDIR_USER_MODULES
set). You also need to tell EasyBuild to look in both module trees, I
did this with an alias in a dedicated lua module:
set_alias("eb","env
MODULEPATH=".."/path/to/global/module/tree/ending/in/*modules/all*"..':$MODULEPATH
eb')
Kind regards,
Alan

Hello all,
We are looking into allowing users on our cluster to build modules
with easybuild into their local directories.
However, it would be optimal if dependencies would be resolved
against the global installationdirectory that we use.
That is, it seems that when installing to a new directory, you
need to build all dependencies again in this tree.
I'm thinking it will take up alot of unnecessary space if every
user needs to build every dependency separately.
Is there a way to achieve what we're looking for?
Best regards,
Alexi Rivera
