@appolloford Can't we enhance the SuiteSparse easyblock to also take care of this automatically?

At least the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%(installdir)s should be done automatically, as accidentally not including this in the easyconfig would be rather dramatic...

Even the -DBLA_VENDOR part can be derived automatically from the toolchain.

We could still leave the door open to specify custom options for CMake in the easyconfig, but I would do that via a direct custom easyconfig parameter that is supported by the SuiteSparse custom easyblock, like:

cmake_options = "..."

If cmake_options is set, that value could then also be included in the CMAKE_OPTIONS="..." that the SuiteSparse easyblock constructs?

[akesandgren]

Yes but it will require a somewhat larger rewrite of the easyblock. It would need to find each dir which should be built with CMake etc since there currently is no top level CMakeLists.txt that does the right thing.

I didn't want to delay the easyblock PR to make this happen.

[appolloford]

I can make the CMAKE_OPTIONS set in easyblock, and actually I tried that before. I did not know how to add a local option for a particular easyconfigs, but I will do it.
