Spack ignoring packages install options

[Daniel Pino Muñoz]

Dear all,

I recently discovered spack and I am super happy with it! Thank you for this great tool.

I have a question though, I am trying to install a couple of libraries and I would like to install them with the debug flag.

For instance I tried:

spack install omega-h build_type=Debug ^hdf5/dbbi77j

It installed the packages and the corresponding dependencies, but not in debug. You can see the output of 'spack spec omega_h' below at the end of the message.

Additionally, I wanted to install another package (mstk) with the option partitioner=metis and in debug so I used: spack install mstk +exodusii +parallel partitioner=metis build_type=Debug ^hdf5/dbbi77j

Same results: the options partitioner and build_type were ignored. You can also see the 'spack spec mstk' an the end of this message.

Am I doing something wrong when specifying the compilation options?

Thank you in advance,

  Daniel

Daniel:

`spack find` shows what’s installed — what do you see if you do `spack find -vd omega-h`?  I suspect the build type is set on the installation.

`spack spec` tells you what *would* be installed given the supplied spec. So if you say `spack spec omega-h build_type=Debug`, you’ll see the variant set properly there, but that’s just telling you the result of concretizing, not installing anything.

Hi Todd,

Thanks for replying :)

'spack find -vd omega-h'  gives me  this:

ome...@9.29.0 build_type=Debug ~examples+mpi+optimize+shared+symbols~throw+trilinos~warnings+zlib

(I spare you the bounch of other lines)

Which corresponds indeed to the options that I set when I installed the packages.

So 'spack find -vd ' gives me the actual install of the different packages?

Best,

  Daniel
