Re: [Modules] Using linux command in module file

[Laurent B. <lau...@ea...>]

Hello Patrick



Module syntax is in tcl. So, if I understand correctly your need, I would write something like



setenv IRL_DIR [exec pkg-config --variable=prefix irl_fortran]





Best regards,

Objet : [Modules] Using linux command in module file



Hi,



this is my first post on the list. I'm using module environment for a while, but I'm stuck to create a module for a specific software.



The sotfware requires some additional libraries managed with module environment so, for example, in my user module file I use:

if [ module-info mode load ] {

   module load GCC14/irl-2024.11.26

  }



to load this required irl-2024.11.26 module which is system wide.





Then, in my user's module file, I need to set a variable based on the environment set up with the above module. With bash I would write:



IRL_DIR=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix irl_fortran)



as the pkg-config path has been setup when loading the

GCC14/irl-2024.11.26 module.



Is there a way to do this in my module file to ensure that the IRL_DIR variable will be set dynamicaly and correctly with the irl loaded module ?



Thank you for your advices.



Patrick
