Hi,
I'm trying to build WRF-4.0.1 for foss-2018b. My easyconfig has (among
other settings)
toolchain = {'name': 'foss', 'version': '2018b'}
builddependencies = [('tcsh', '6.20.00')]
dependencies = [
('JasPer', '2.0.14'),
('netCDF', '4.6.1'),
('netCDF-Fortran', '4.4.4'),
]
My EasyBuild (I'm using 3.7.1) config looks like this:
[override]
add-dummy-to-minimal-toolchains=True
hide-deps=M4,zlib,help2man,Bison,flex,binutils,Autoconf,Automake,libtool,ncurses,xorg-macros,gettext,numactl,libpciaccess,XZ,libxml2,hwloc,Autotools,pkg-config,ncurses,cURL,Szip,CMake,Doxygen,icc,ifort,iccifort,impi,iimpi,imkl,gompi,GCCcore,GCC,OpenBLAS,OpenMPI,FFTW,ScaLAPACK,tcsh
hide-toolchains=GCCcore,GCC,gompi,iimpi,iccifort
minimal-toolchains=True
use-existing-modules=True
I built tcsh-6.20.00-GCCcore-7.3.0.eb from by previous WRF4 PR, using
eb tcsh-6.20.00-GCCcore-7.3.0.eb --hidden -f
The module is there:
$ module --show-hidden avail | grep tcsh
XZ/.5.2.4-GCCcore-7.3.0 tcsh/.6.20.00-GCCcore-7.3.0
However, when I try building the WRF easyconfig,
eb WRF-4.0.1-foss-2018b-dmpar.eb
--include-easyblocks=/home2/hilboll/src/easybuild/repos/easybuild-easyblocks/easybuild/easyblocks/w/wrf.py
-r --debug --ignore-checksums -D
I get
ERROR: Irresolvable dependencies encountered:
tcsh/6.20.00-foss-2018b
On my other system, where I don't hide dependencies, and don't have
minimal-toolchains turned on, the tcsh dependency is automatically
resolved from the GCCcore toolchain, but here on my test system (where
I'm trying to learn about --hide-deps and --minimal-toolchains)
apparently it doesn't.
I'd appreciate if you could point me to my mistake.
First of all, can you make sure that the configuration is picked up as
you expect?
You can check the current active configuration using "eb --show-config";
make sure that 'tcsh' is listed in 'hide-deps' in there.
One thing you also need to take into account is that the
tcsh-6.20.00-GCCcore-7.3.0.eb easyconfig must be available in your robot
search path ("eb --search tcsh-6.20.00-GCCcore-7.3.0" should fine it).
That's a known problem which we haven't gotten around to fixing yet, see
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/issues/2375 .
If that doesn't help, can you send us a debug log for the dry run you're
doing?
Use "eb --debug ... -D", and then grab the log file that is located in
/tmp (see the "== temporary log file in case of crash" line in the
output generated by the 'eb' command).

Kenneth
