Dear Inge,
Support for continuing an interrupted build has been requested before,
but it's a hard feature to get right in general.
It also causes some (obvious, I guess) concern w.r.t. the
reproducibility of the installation: if the compilation fails at some
point, you fix the issue by intervening manually, and then use (the
currently non-existing) "eb --continue", then you will run into the same
issue the next time you do this installation (unless you're very careful
and adapt the easyconfig file according to the manual intervention you did).
I'm not saying a feature like this would be useless though, we should
definitely try and find some time to finish up Miguel's work, but it
should come with a clear warning (and it's never going to be perfect, as
Miguel already mentioned).
regards,
Kenneth

Dear Inge,
if it's a one time thing one would simply add a patch to change the
makefile and rebuild from scratch, but a while back I tried to address
the issue of my users using easybuild to build while developing, in
which case the penalty for rebuilding from scratch is even higher.
If you're interested, see
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/pull/2385. In many
cases it's much simpler to use the environment from --dump-env-script,
but for instance when the easyblock does a lot of stuff, something like
this --continue would be useful.
My two (sing)cents,
Miguel

Hello,
I have a problem that I think is not so exotic that there is no solution
for it, so maybe someone can help me. During build of MUMPS-5.1.2 with
intel compilers 2019.3.199 I get the following error:
mpiifort -O2 -xMIC-AVX512 -ftz -fp-speculation=safe -fp-model source

zsol_aux.F(630): catastrophic error: **Internal compiler error: internal

it occurred in a Software Problem Report. Note: File and line given may

compilation aborted for zsol_aux.F (code 1)
make[3]: *** [zsol_aux.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/dev/shm/mathprod/MUMPS/5.1.2/intel-2019a/MUMPS_5.1.2/src'
I can compile that routine if I omit -xMIC-AVX512, so during
installation without easybuild I would do so and continue make. With
easybuild I found that easybuild started from the beginning and thus the
already compiled parts were lost. Is there a way to restart with
everything that is already there in
dev/shm/mathprod/MUMPS/5.1.2/intel-2019a/MUMPS_5.1.2/src ?
