Hi, I'm looking the installation instructions for Macaulay2
https://github.com/Macaulay2/M2/blob/release-1.17/M2/INSTALL in which is says Begin with this command: make The "make" command above runs the commands "autoconf" and "autoheader", which create the "configure" script and the "include/config.h.in" file, needed in the next steps. Once those files are created, it is not necessary to make them again. The "make" command on your system should be a recent version of GNU make. Now continue building the program this way: ./configure --enable-download --prefix=/foo/bar make make check # optional make install My naive approach was use easyblock = 'ConfigureMake' with configure_cmd = 'make && ./configure' but this results in the error error: the automake program installed on your system (automake is /usr/bin/automake) is too old. Please install or update automake: the version (1.13.4) should be at least 1.16. make[2]: Entering directory `/trinity/shared/easybuild/build/Macaulay2/1.17/foss-2020b/M2-release-1.17/M2' So it seems that the system 'make' is being used rather than the one from the EB toolchain. How should I deal with this pre-configure 'make'? Cheers, Loris -- Dr. Loris Bennett (Hr./Mr.) ZEDAT, Freie Universität Berlin Email [email protected]
