Our cluster has been upgraded to RockyLinux 8, and our minimum toolchain
version is now foss/2023a. A user is asking us to build the Meep[1]
module, which we installed in our old cluster stack using
Meep-1.25.0-foss-2021b.eb thanks to the list thread shown below.
There doesn't seem to be any Meep .eb file available for foss/2023a at
this time. Has anyone had the time to build the Meep module using a
more recent toolchain?
Thanks a lot,
Ole

Subject: [easybuild] EB file for building a recent version of Meep?

We have a user request for installing the Meep module. However, the versions
of Meep in EasyBuild are very old:
https://docs.easybuild.io/version-specific/supported-software/#meep
The .eb files would build an old version Meep-1.4.3-intel-2020a.eb from an
obsolete source, or old version Meep-1.6.0-intel-2018a-Python-2.7.14.eb
with Python 2.7 :-(
The current release of Meep is 1.26:
https://github.com/NanoComp/meep/releases and installation instructions are in
https://meep.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation/
Question: Has anyone looked at writing an .eb file for a recent version of Meep
with modern compilers and Python3?
Thanks,
Ole
