Dear list, sometime ago, I asked this question on the same list. I think I tried the procedure but I'm unable to make it work again.
My issue: I try to install a new version of R. This easyconfig contains more than 500 extensions, and some of them are failling during the build. I then comment them out and relaunch the build. Unfortunately, the build skip only the R build, not the already built extensions. I have modified the R-3.5.1-foss-2018b.eb file to remove every extension. I did the install using: eb --module-only R-3.5.1-foss-2018b-without-ext.eb Then I added every extension again and I did: eb --skip --rebuild ./R-3.5.1-foss-2018b.eb And it fails on a given extenion. I comment out this extension and re do the command: eb --skip --rebuild ./R-3.5.1-foss-2018b.eb But it tries to rebuild every extension already built in the previsous step. Any clue?
