Re: [easybuild] resume build R

Dear Yann,

Hello,

I'm trying to build R using R-3.3.1-foss-2016b.eb with the flag 
--try-software-version=3.4.2


It's crashing during the build of some extensions.

I did a correction on a dependency and wanted to continue the build.

Is there a way to "resume" the build where it crashed?

I tried to use --skip, but it seems it's starting from scratch and as 
there are ~400 extensions, this is takes time.


--skip only works when you already have a module

Here's what you can do:

* run "eb --module-only R.eb" after editing the R easyconfig to use 
"exts_list = []" (i.e. no extensions)


* reinstate the list of extensions in the R easyconfig, and then run "eb 
R.eb --skip --force" to let EasyBuild skip already extensions and 
install the missing ones




regards,

Kenneth
