EasyBuild

Version 7.78.0 in CPE 21.06

  • The EasyConfig file is a mix of the EasyBuilders one and the one in use at the University of Antwerpen.

  • There was a new configure option for 7.78.0: a range of options to select the right TLS backend, so this has been added to the EasyConfig file.

  • Added additional sanity check commands to the file.

Version 7.83.1 for LUMI/22.06

  • Trivial update of the EasyConfig, we did not check for new features that could be exploited via additional dependencies.

Version 7.86.0 for CPE 22.12 and later

  • Trivial update of the EasyConfig, we did not check for new features that could be exploited via additional dependencies.

Version 8.0.1 from CP 23.09 on

  • Version bump to 8.0.1 to follow 2023a, but trivial for the EasyConfig.

Archived EasyConfigs

The EasyConfigs below are additonal 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.
