Just came to rehash some old attempts to build previous OpenMPIs
for an RPM-based system and noticed that, despite specifying
--define 'install_in_opt 1' \
as part of this full "config" rpmbuild stage
(Note: SPEC-file Release tag is atered so as not to have the RPM clash with
any system MPI packages, hence the name change)
rpmbuild \
--define '_topdir /path/to/my/rpmbuild' \
--define 'install_in_opt 1' \
--define 'install_shell_scripts 1' \
--define 'install_modulefile 1' \
--define 'use_mpi_selector 0' \
--define 'build_all_in_one_rpm 1' \
-bb openmpi-2.0.2_vuw_gcc.spec
I stll get a non /opt hierachy file
/usr/share/Modules/modulefiles/openmpi/2.0.2
which isn't what is needed.
I'd have thought the module files for an "install_in_opt" configuration
would have been installed below the
/opt/openmpi/2.0.2/share
tree, leaving the system admin to then place them wherever they needed
to end up within the local "system dir" hierachies.
(Note: I use /etc/modulefiles/ in addition to /usr/share/Modules/modulefiles/,
which I consider to be the module files from the modules package itself)
I note in the SPEC-file that there are possible overrides to any related
defaults, vis:
# type: string (root path to install modulefiles)
%{!?modulefile_path: %define modulefile_path /usr/share/Modules/modulefiles}
# type: string (subdir to install modulefile)
%{!?modulefile_subdir: %define modulefile_subdir %{name}}
# type: string (name of modulefile)
%{!?modulefile_name: %define modulefile_name %{version}}
but would suggest that the
install_modulefile 1
when combined with
install_in_opt 1
should alter the default, without any extra user configuration, just as if
an AutoTools config had done a
--prefix=/opt
in which case everything would be expected to get the prefix .
Just a suggestion, though I'll look to offer a patch, now that I see
that my notes from 2012 about this (where I first found the issue!)
still apply but, before I look to offer the patch ...
whaddyathink of the suggestion itself?
