My question is, how do you adjust the configure options for Python-3.7.4-GCCcore-8.3.0.eb?
My problem is that when building with that easyconfig, it hangs (with 99% CPU) when running this test: python -m test.regrtest –-pgo Strace shows this infinitely: sendfile(37, 34, [320625896], 238360) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) Googling implies that this is a coding issue, not something wrong with my system here (I think). So I am looking for a workaround. I saw this; https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44708262/make-install-from-source-python-without-running-tests Do I do NOT want “--enable-optimizations” on the configure. I see in the log file for the build it is there: == 2020-08-05 13:19:10,821 run.py:222 INFO running cmd: ./configure --prefix=/grid/it/data/elzar/easybuild_sandbox/software/Python/3.7.4-GCCcore-8.3.0 --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --enable-shared --with-lto --enable-optimizations But there is no “configopts” in Python-3.7.4-GCCcore-8.3.0.eb. I tried over-riding the default config by adding a “configopts” line, but that just added things to the default configure options. The enable-optimizations was still there. How can I remove “enable-optimizations” from the configure for Python-3.7.4-GCCcore-8.3.0.eb? It isn’t a default for building Python (for good reason?). Thanks, Todd
