GENERAL INFO
mkmod automatically creates a module in $HOME/modulefiles
mkmod works with both Lua and Tcl modules installations
* for Users and Developers who install their own packages.
* for staff who provide scripts for users to
build their own packages (e.g. you hand them
a mk_package script which includes mkmod)
* for the LMOD tutorial lab of tinyurl.com/chcp-2017-tools
* can be used with rpms
(that don't require rpm logic and %{} variables)
* See examples in examples directory
INSTRUCTIONS
The minimal work a user must do is export 3 variables and call mkmod.
1.) Define & Export NAME, VER, and TOPDIR
(package name, version, and top-level directory)
export NAME=...
export VER=...
export TOPDIR=...
2.) Execute: mkmod
------------------------------
TRY IT YOURSELF
See examples in examples directory
When you executed "make" (above) in the mkmod directory a
modulefile was automatically created for mkmod (with the commands below).
You can try this "by hand" by first removing $HOME/modulefiles/my_mkmod
if you already executed make.
FIRST: execute: rm -rf $HOME/modulefiles/my_mkmod #if you already executed make
Build your own modulefile for mkmod
cd mkmod/docs #this directory
export NAME=mkmod
export VER=2.0 #execute bin/mkmod -v for current ver.
export TOPDIR=$(dirname `pwd`) #TOPDIR=directory above this.
export PREREQ=none #we do this to avoid compiler/mpi
#prerequisite--since this is a
#compiler/mpi agnostic tool
../bin/mkmod #mkmod location relative to this directory
#ASSUMES YOU ARE IN mkmod/docs
#Change to suite yourself
#logout, then login
module load my_mkmod #install directory is in your path
module help my_mkmod # See examples for features.
# Use export PREFIX="" for no "my_"
# mkmod --help for details
