EasyBuild

Version 1.14 for CPE 21.12

  • The EasyConfig file is a direct port from the EasyBuilders one

  • We took care of linking with a version of GSL compiled without OpenMP support as compiling GSL with and BCFtools without OpenMP support causes a problem with BLAS (that crashes when the program ends).

Version 1.15.1 for CPE 21.12

  • A straightforward port of the easyconfig for 1.14, triggered by problems with HTSlib on LUMI.

Version 1.15.1 forr CPE 22.06 and 22.08

  • Checked the configure script for additional useful options. Considered adding '--enable-perl-filters` but that used libperl from the system. As it turns out that the current Perl module does not provide libperl.so, the option was not added.

  • Cleaned up dependencies as most are pulled in anyway through HTSlib.

Version 1.17 for cpeGNU 22.08

  • Trivial port of the 1.15.1 EasyConfig.

  • Some restructuring to work with our version update scripts.

  • Some restructuring to also copy the LICENSE and README file to the system.

Version 1.18 from CPE 23.09 on

  • Trivial port of the 1.17 EasyConfig
