EasyBuild

libtree:
- Support for libtree in the EasyBuilders repository
- Support for libtree in the CSCS repository

Bundle version 15.1.0 for SUSE Linux 15SP1

When compiling htop with unicode enable it causes a segmentation violation (but not with -h or --version so it is not detected in the EasyBuild sanity check). The likely cause is a problem with out ncursesw library that is part of syslibs and fully static.

21.12 22.06 and 22.08

Update of htop and some improvements to the EasyConfig.
Robustified the installation on LUMI with checksums.

22.12 and 23.03

Version bumps for GPP/htop/tree.
Adding libtree
Changing the layout of the EasyConfig a bit, also adding license information.

23.03

Version bumps for GPP/htop/tree.

23.09

Version bumps for GPP/htop/tree.
In a revised edition we also provided the proot command for use with singularity.
- We went for build that is fully static except for libc taken from the system to be as independent from anything else as possible. The procedure in the EasyConfig is a LUST development.
- Needed to fix the Makefile as the warnings about it not being a git repository caused EasyBuild to stop the build.

23.12 and 24.03

Version bump of htop, but otherwise similar as the 23.09 one with the proot command.
Did have to change the download location for the tree command though which also led to a slightly different build process.

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.
