Hi,

Still trying to compile TensorFlow, I was running into the problem that
the local drive, being only 14 GB, was not big enough for the temporary
build directories.

Following the tip here:

  https://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Configuration.html#buildpath

I set /dev/shm for the build path as I have 192 GB RAM:

  eb TensorFlow-1.15.0-fosscuda-2019b-Python-3.7.4.eb --robot 
--cuda-compute-capabilities=6.1,7.5 --buildpath=/dev/shm

However, the build still fails, because stuff is still being written to /tmp:

  Wed Feb 26 15:13:02 CET 2020 : === Preparing sources in dir: 
/tmp/eb-lffQRO/tmp.cYgY4xLGrb
  
/dev/shm/TensorFlow/1.15.0/fosscuda-2019b-Python-3.7.4/TensorFlow/tensorflow-1.15.0
 
/dev/shm/TensorFlow/1.15.0/fosscuda-2019b-Python-3.7.4/TensorFlow/tensorflow-1.15.0
  cp: cannot create regular file 
'/tmp/eb-lffQRO/tmp.cYgY4xLGrb/tensorflow/include/external/./aws/aws-cpp-sdk-core/include/aws/core/Aws.h':
 No space left on device

Is there some other variable I need to be setting?

Cheers,

Loris
