Hi all,
I'm trying to install MATLAB (r2018a, based off the matlab/r2017b EasyConfig)
through EasyBuild. From looking at the EasyBlok, I found out that it picks up
on the following environment variables.
EB_MATLAB_LICENSE_SERVER
EB_MATLAB_LICENSE_SERVER_PORT
EB_MATLAB_KEY
I set all of these. EasyBuild than creates a "installer_input.txt" containing
the correct MATLAB key (which it accepts, so that's not where my problem is),
as well as a 'matlab.lic' file containing:
----
SERVER ${EB_MATLAB_LICENSE_SERVER} 00000000000 ${EB_MATLAB_LICENSE_SERVER_PORT}
USE_SERVER
----
(where the environment variables are replaced with the actual values). So far,
so good (although I'm not sure if the hostid should remain 00000000000).
Now, in the input file, there's a section that says
----
## 1. To automatically install all your licensed products, do not edit
## any lines in this section.
##
## 2. To install a specific product or a subset of products for
## which you are licensed, uncomment the line for the product(s) you want
## to install.
#product.Aerospace_Blockset
#product.Aerospace_Toolbox
... etc
----
All of the lines are commented out, so, I keep them that way. According to the
comments, that should install all of the products I have a license for. But...
it doesn't. In the output, I get:
----
(Jul 20, 2018 14:29:05) No products are selected. The product lines specified
in the input file are invalid. Verify the product list and restart the
application.
----
What am I missing here? Does this mean the installer fails to connect to our
license server, and isn't able to get the list of products that we have a
license for (or anything like that)? How do others use the matlab EasyConfig?
Cheers,

N.B. On an unrelated note: should we have some way of documenting the
software-specific EasyBlocks? Its a bit weird that I have to go through the
code to realize that these environment variables can be set... Or do we have
something like that, and I just don't know where to find it?
