This repository contains the EasyConfig files used at the UAntwerpen VSC site. They differ from the standard ones available in the easybuilders repositories in multiple ways.
- We tend to include more information in the (LMOD) module files for module spider and module help
- We tend to include design decisions in our EasyConfig files
- We sometimes use bundles to put related software and libraries in a single module to reduce module clutter for our users or to simply make things work better. An example of the former are our buildtools modules that combine many standard build tools (CMake, autoconfig, GNU make, ...) compiled with the standard OS compilers and OS libraries. An example of the latter are our netCDF modules that include the base libraries and the Fortran and dual C++ interfaces in a single module.
Not all EasyConfig files included in this repository are recipes that we actually install. Some were only used during the development of some of our bigger bundles but included in this repository for those who it may be useful for, as it does include packages that are not yet supported by the official EasyBuilders distribution. These recipes typically have the version suffix -baslibsDevel or -X11Devel after the bundle they are included in.
See the Wiki of this repository for more informaton.
It may be useful to also check our "EasyBuild - The Missing Manual" OneNote.
Given that we started building before EasyBuild 4.0 was released, we decided to stick with the 3.9.4 version as otherwise we got an unpleasant number of warnings about deprecated features. Yet we did start the EasyConfig files in such a way that they would be easily portable to the 4.x versions of EasyBuild.
For this build set we switched to EasyBuild 4.1 and later.
