You can specify the patch level with a tuple:
patches = [('Gadget-2.0.7-makefile-hardcoding.patch', 1)]
will give a you a patch level of 1. An alternative is to specify the
relative directory path where to apply the patch, for example
patches = [('Gadget-2.0.7-makefile-hardcoding.patch', '..')]

Re: [easybuild] cd to a directory with easybuild

[Yann Sagon]

Hello Ward,

thanks, it is exactly my problem in fact (multiple directories created) but
you gave me the answer:)

I have now another error, as I need to patch the Makefile provided with
Gadget2.

I have copied the Makefile in my work directory as Makefile.o and Makefile
Modified the Makefile.
Created the diff : diff -u Makefile.o Makefile
> Gadget-2.0.7-makefile-hardcoding.patch

Error message: "Can't determine patch level for patch"

You don't need to do anything. EB will first extract the provide
source and then cd in the directory that was created. It is only when
multiple directories are created that you need to help EB and tell
which one to use (with the start_dir variable in the easyconfig). If
you run eb with the -l option, you should see that it changes to the
extracted directory, the variable is called start_dir.

[easybuild] cd to a directory with easybuild

[Yann Sagon]

Hello, this is my first post to this mailling list. I'm the sys admin of a
cluster in University of Geneva. I'm playing with easybuild with the idea
to replace our manual software installation procedure.

I'm trying to write my first easyconfig file (for Gadget2). Once untarred,
the source of Gadget2 contains a directory named Gadget2, so I need to
instruct easybuild to cd to that directory. Is this possible or I need to
write my own easyblock? I'm using the easyblock MakeCp as there is no
configure.

Thanks
