[ncl-install] How to implement fully automated unattended building of NCL

[Liu Jianyu]

Hi,

Appreciating all kindly responses.

We do need these on our HPC cluster

    multi-version of ncl
    multi-compiler instance of ncl, such as build for gnu, intel, pgi, etc.,
    localized dependency libraries instance of ncl, such as libc++, netcdf,  hdf5, etc.
    compiled with rpath, etc.

Once the compiler got upgraded,  it has to build a lot of appropriate instances of ncl, really a boring job. So wanted to make life easier by using certain of ‘answer file’ to do a automatic unattended building.

So the package managers or open build service looks like not the best choices.

Thanks for further comments

Regards

Jerry

Jerry,

We are hoping to enable easier downloads of NCL via package managers like yum, apt-get, and conda.  We are already looking into this for our python tools, and NCL will be a part of this.

I think there are folks out there that have put NCL under yum and other managers, but I'm not sure about NCL V6.3.0.

  Hi,

  Tired with the interactive configuration procesure.
  It supposes all the necessary dependency libraries are ready.
  Just wanted to do a automatic unattended building for different
  compiler instance of ncl.

  Any ideas for making a answer file and how to implement?

  Appreciating any comments

  Jerry
