Re: [easybuild] Toolchains

2018-02-12 Thread McGough, Benjamin E
[I am working with John on this...] We can definitely open an issue, thanks! My gut feeling is that CMake should not be included in the toolchain; there is a precedent of depending it into packages that need it, and it looks like version conflicts do happen. To contrast, I have _never_ in my

[easybuild] Question about builddependencies and pkg-config

2016-06-22 Thread McGough, Benjamin E
I have been struggling with creating a clean environment in which to build with EasyBuild and test easyconfigs. Our build host is used to build other software and has a large number of "-dev" packages installed. I have found this to interfere with EasyBuild builds and it is currently blocking

2016-03-25 Thread McGough, Benjamin E
Sorry if this has been dealt with before, but I was unable to find any evidence in the mailing list archive search. I am trying to build R and am running into errors with rgdal/GDAL/PROJ/EPSG on Ubnutu (which, I suspect, is my problem): checking PROJ.4: epsg found and readable... no Error:

Goal: build OpenCV 3.1 with Intel 2015b toolchain (as that is the one we have licensed). We take the existing OpenCV 2.4.9 intel 2014b easyconfig and edit it with the new version and toolchain (after trying with --try-toolchain and failing). This then depends in each of the dependent packages

Re: [easybuild] Using hidden to clean up module list?

2015-11-23 Thread McGough, Benjamin E
Yes, this seems to make sense. I am increasingly realizing our use of Environment Module may need to end... . Knowing better what --hide-deps and --hidden do I see these options will not get me what I want for my users. I found --recursive--module-unload, which will at least help my users, if
