Kenneth, The problem is a missing M4 build dependency (and also Perl to be picky). Me and my "bad" habit of building on a minimal OS... 😝

That's very strange, and it rings a bell for me... First of all, the WRF configure script is not what you may think it is (an Autotools configure script), it's a shell script that calls an (interactive) Python script. What happens if you try to run the script manually, does it produce any output then? We fixed a problem with running interactive commands that we hit with WRF a while ago, see https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Feasybuilders%2Feasybuild-framework%2Fpull%2F3126&data=04%7C01%7CDavide.Vanzo%40microsoft.com%7Ced4ae48f3d954174570508d8d8ed1ed1%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637497860227965245%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=qwoyQ%2B%2FQVxr3%2FwcCKAgQADfFNiDlvaVJAzIBxCwHY9Q%3D&reserved=0 and https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Feasybuilders%2Feasybuild-framework%2Fpull%2F3130&data=04%7C01%7CDavide.Vanzo%40microsoft.com%7Ced4ae48f3d954174570508d8d8ed1ed1%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637497860227975240%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=KewTaaCm4ZqKoNuZ1UEbtk9ncVwo7%2B26GxtHDctiqyc%3D&reserved=0 . It's possible you're hitting a similar issue that we haven't seen yet... In this case, you're using a very recent EasyBuild version and Python 2 though, so your problem may be something different entirely, but perhaps there are some clues there that help you figure out the problem. The first "exit 1" I see in that configure script is when it checks for the m4 command. The script is producing error messages, but maybe they don't pop up in your log for some reason? Can you try loading Autotools as a build dependency? If that helps, it would be nice if you could: * Open an issue in framework to report the missing output, perhaps our run_cmd_qa does need a bit more love to avoid output produced by interactive commands from disappearing. * Open an issue or pull request to add the missing Autotools build dependency for WRF. regards, Kenneth > > Davide >
