Technical documentation

General information

GObject-Introspection comes with its own built-in version of GLib. This creates a mess in EasyBuild,as EasyBuild also has its own GLib and even uses it as a dependency of GObject-Introspection that is not even used. The issue is that GObject-Introspection hence may use a different version of the GLib libraries as the GLib module, leading to issues when using GObject-Introspection, as which version of the GLib libraries will be used, will depend on the order of the directories in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or the RPATH.

EasyBuild

Version 1.68.0 for cpe 21.08

  • The recipe is a mix of the EasyBuilders and CSCS ones, with some input from the UAntwerpen one also.

  • Tried with the system Python but that did not work as there are no development packages installed, so used cray-python as in the CSCS recipe.

    • CSCS sets this as a build dependency, but that did not work in our case.

  • Added additional sanity checks to test if the commands actually work. This coul, e.g., catch the problem where cray-python is a build dependency.

Version 1.71.0 for CPE 21.12

  • Updated to 1.71.0 rather than following the EasyBuild common toolchain for 21.12 because of problems with Meson not finding a file.

Version 1.72.0 for CPE 22.06

  • Trivial port of the EasyConfig, made last minute to align with EasyBuild 4.6.0.

Version 1.74.0 from CPE 22.12 on

  • Trivial port of the EasyConfig of 1.72.0.

Version 1.76.1 from CPE 23.09 on

  • Port of the 1.74.0 EasyConfig.

  • But needed to use a buildtools-python using the same version of cray-python and with a newer version of Meson. It is not clear if it was a Python version conflict or just a too old version of Meson that was causing problems, but it is likely the former.

Version 1.78.1 for LUMI/24.03

  • Trivial port of the EasyConfig for version 1.76.1 in LUMI/23.12.

Version 1.84.0 for 25.03

  • Almost trivial port of the 1.78.1 EasyConfig in 24.03/24.11, but used the same patch as the EasyBuilders.

  • Did some layout improvements to the EasyConfig.

  • Also removed the explicit addition to XDG_DATA_DIRS as EasyBuild does this automatically when generating the module.

Archived EasyConfigs

The EasyConfigs below are additional easyconfigs that are not directly available on the system for installation. Users are advised to use the newer ones and these archived ones are unsupported. They are still provided as a source of information should you need this, e.g., to understand the configuration that was used for earlier work on the system.
