Hi, I set up EasyBuild in my own home directory and managed to build a bunch of software. I then copied the whole EasyBuild tree to a different directory owned by a system user 'build'.
Unfortunately the path to my home directory has been written to various scripts and, I presume, may have been compiled into some binaries. Thus I just want to rebuild the software. However doing say eb GCCcore-7.3.0.eb --robot --rebuild fails with the following message to stdout: make: *** [all] Error 2 (at easybuild/software/EasyBuild/3.8.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easybuild_framework-3.8.0-py2.7.egg/easybuild/tools/run.py:501 in parse_cmd_output) == 2019-01-17 10:22:21,683 easyblock.py:2864 WARNING build failed (first 300 chars): cmd " make -j 40 " exited with exit code 2 and output: make[1]: Entering directory `/trinity/shared/easybuild/build/GCCcore/7.3.0/dummy-/gcc-7.3.0/stage1_obj' and the following in the log file: == 2019-01-17 10:22:21,683 easyblock.py:2864 WARNING build failed (first 300 chars): cmd " make -j 40 " exited with exit code 2 and output: make[1]: Entering directory `/trinity/shared/easybuild/build/GCCcore/7.3.0/dummy-/gcc-7.3.0/stage1_obj' mkdir -p -- ./fixincludes mkdir -p -- ./libiberty mkdir -p -- ./lto-plugin mkdir -p -- ./intl mkdir -p -- ./gmp mkdir -p -- ./libbacktrace Co == 2019-01-17 10:22:21,684 easyblock.py:286 INFO Closing log for application name GCCcore version 7.3.0 As I am slightly pushed for time and probably have to recompile most stuff anyway, I was wondering what is the most pragmatic way to proceed. Of the directories apps/ build/ ebfiles_repo/ moduleData/ modules/ software/ sources/ could I just delete build/ modules/ software/ ?
