You could not have written it more clearly. Thanks Kenneth. DV

I wrote a new section for this, see https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild/pull/261/files). (for a preview rendered version, see http://boegel-eb.readthedocs.io/en/iter_opts/Writing_easyconfig_files.html#list-of-configure-build-install-options). Can you please review this and let me know whether it's clear (preferably in the pull request itself)? regards, Kenneth On 20/10/16 20:13, Vanzo, Davide wrote: Apparently I was wrong. EB does four builds, each configured with the corresponding configopts line.

However it is not fully clear to me what happens when instead of a single string configopts is a list of strings, like in this case taken from FFTW-3.3.5-gompi-2016.07.eb: configopts = [ common_configopts + " --enable-single --enable-sse2 --enable-mpi", common_configopts + " --enable-long-double --enable-mpi", common_configopts + " --enable-quad-precision", common_configopts + " --enable-sse2 --enable-mpi", # default as last ] My best guess at the moment is that EB will try one string at a time and, if the configure step fails, it will try the next in the list. Am I correct? I tried to look in the doc but I could not find an answer. Unless I missed it (higly probable) I would suggest adding a couple of lines under "Configure/build/install command options" .
