[development] make install fail when Installing openmpi

[ArangoGutierrez]

$ singularity --version
$ 2.2.99

before the docs steps

$ sudo singularity create -s 4096 /tmp/Centos-7.img
$ sudo singularity import /tmp/Centos-7.img docker://centos

Following the steps on singularityware.github.io/pages/docs/admin-docs/docs-hpc.md

$ # Include the appropriate development tools into the container (notice we are calling
$ # singularity as root and the container is writeable)
$ sudo singularity exec -w /tmp/Centos-7.img yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
$
$ # Clone the OpenMPI GitHub master branch in current directory (on host)
$ git clone https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi.git
$ cd ompi
$
$ # Build OpenMPI in the working directory, using the tool chain within the container
$ singularity exec /tmp/Centos-7.img ./autogen.pl
$ singularity exec /tmp/Centos-7.img ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
$ singularity exec /tmp/Centos-7.img make
$
$ # Install OpenMPI into the container (notice now running as root and container is writeable)
$ sudo singularity exec -w /tmp/Centos-7.img make install
$ make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

While in the ompi folder

$ sudo singularity exec -w /tmp/Centos-7.img ls
$ anaconda-ks.cfg

Thougts?

Oh..... hrmmm, that is failing probably because when you called it via sudo the underlying directory (cwd) was not automatically bound in properly. Try this instead:

sudo singularity exec -w -B /home /tmp/Centos-7.img make install

If that works, will you update the documentation?

Thanks!

sudo singularity exec -w -B /home /tmp/Centos-7.img make install

worked.

Updating docs
