Comment (by sbrandt):

I'm a little confused. I do use an absolute path to build, and everything works fine (or seems to, Formaline tarballs get built in the right place). I notice, however, that if I don't use an absolute path then hwloc won't build. Is CACTUS_CONFIGS_DIR meant to accept only an absolute path or is hwloc broken?

Comment (by sbrandt):

The ThornList is in flesh-Cactus.tar.gz. It's location is showing up as

home/sbrandt/.mojaveconfig/funwave2/Cfg1/ThornList

About hwloc: On line 113 of configure.sh in hwloc is the command "cd ${SCRATCH_BUILD}". At the time this commmand is invoked, the current directory isn't Cactus root but the config-data directory, so it fails. It is the first of about a half dozen or so commands where an absolute path is required. Maybe this should be it's own ticket?

Comment (by eschnett):

The tarball flesh-Cactus.tar.gz should contain the thorn list and related files directly in a directory "configs"; if it is hidden in a subdirectory called "home/...", it will be difficult to find. Note that the leading slash of "/home/sbrandt" has been removed by tar, so that untarring the tarball will create a directory hierarchy that originally didn't even exist...

This is not specific to hwloc; many other thorns do the same. You probably only see the error in hwloc since you either don't build the other thorns, or would build them after hwloc. I assume that CACTUS_CONFIGS_DIR needs to be an absolute path.

Why did you just close this ticket?

I'm not sure what happened with the ticket closing.

On my system: {{{ $ tar --transform tar: Option --transform is not supported Usage: List: tar -tf <archive-filename> Extract: tar -xf <archive-filename> Create: tar -cf <archive-filename> [filenames...] Help: tar --help }}} It seems this is not a standard option.

Also, I notice that you replace >$@ by >>$@; is this intentional?

Comment (by eschnett):

I think the best way to proceed is to put configuration settings into a tarball of their own. That would clean up the code, since nothing has to be copied, and would also advertise these settings more, as they are not really part of the flesh anyway.

Hasn't this been applied, Steve? Didn't you mention today, that an update of Formaline should understand this now?
