Hi all,
I'm sorry for picking up on this old thread, but I've spent quite a bit
of time on getting DOLFIN 2018.1 built recently, a big part of which was
lots of pain to get Trilinos built.
There are several enhancements and fixes included in the just released
EasyBuild v3.7.0 for this, see
https://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Release_notes.html#v3-7-0-september-25th-2018
.
If you are still interested in this: please try using "eb
DOLFIN-2018.1.0.post1-foss-2018a-Python-3.6.4.eb --robot" after
installing EasyBuild v3.7.0, and let us know if you hit any problems.
One particular thing to keep in mind is that Trilinos is quite
memory-hungry... We've capped maximum parallel build to 10 cores because
of this. When experimenting, I noticed that you need more than 100GB of
memory when building Trilinos 12.12.1 on 20 cores (and that's NOT
because of abusing /dev/shm for the build directory, it's pure memory
usage for g++...).
regards,
Kenneth

Hello fellow Easybuilders,
we are currently working on an Easyconfig for the DOLFIN and Fenics
python
packages but are facing some linker errors when trying to build an
updated
Trilinos-12.12.1 with Python-2.7.14 in the foss/2017b toolchain. This
slows
down development of these easyconfigs a lot.
So, maybe there are some users who got a relatively recent version of
DOLFIN
and Fenics (newer than the one in the easybuild-repo) up and running
and are
willing to share their solution?
I would be interested in hearing about this as well; I managed to get
that mountain of dependencies installed in Python-2.7.9 and 2.7.11
installed but not DOLFIN itself.
Have you applied the standard patches (e.g., petsc-slepc-libs.patch and
SuiteSparse-4.3.patch)?
