`make` solves a lot of headaches that would otherwise have to be implemented in Spack: 1. Parallelism over packages through multiple `spack install` processes 2. Orderly output of parallel package installs thanks to `make --sync-output=recurse` or `make -Orecurse` (works well in GNU Make 4.3; macOS is unfortunately on a 16 years old 3.x version, but it's one `spack install gmake` away...) 3. Shared jobserver across packages, which means a single `-j` to rule them all, instead of manually finding a balance between `#spack install processes` & `#jobs per package` (See #30302). This pr adds the `spack env depfile` command that generates a Makefile with dag hashes as targets, and dag hashes of dependencies as prerequisites, and a command along the lines of `spack install --only=packages /hash` to just install a single package. It exposes two convenient phony targets: `all`, `fetch-all`. The former installs the environment, the latter just fetches all sources. So one can either use `make all -j16` directly or run `make fetch-all -j16` on a login node and `make all -j16` on a compute node. Example: ```yaml spack: specs: [perl] view: false ``` running ``` $ spack -e . env depfile --make-target-prefix env | tee Makefile ``` generates ```Makefile SPACK ?= spack .PHONY: env/all env/fetch-all env/clean env/all: env/env env/fetch-all: env/fetch env/env: env/.install/cdqldivylyxocqymwnfzmzc5sx2zwvww @touch $@ env/fetch: env/.fetch/cdqldivylyxocqymwnfzmzc5sx2zwvww env/.fetch/gv5kin2xnn33uxyfte6k4a3bynhmtxze env/.fetch/cuymc7e5gupwyu7vza5d4vrbuslk277p env/.fetch/7vangk4jvsdgw6u6oe6ob63pyjl5cbgk env/.fetch/hyb7ehxxyqqp2hiw56bzm5ampkw6cxws env/.fetch/yfz2agazed7ohevqvnrmm7jfkmsgwjao env/.fetch/73t7ndb5w72hrat5hsax4caox2sgumzu env/.fetch/trvdyncxzfozxofpm3cwgq4vecpxixzs env/.fetch/sbzszb7v557ohyd6c2ekirx2t3ctxfxp env/.fetch/c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc @touch $@ env/dirs: @mkdir -p env/.fetch env/.install env/.fetch/%: | env/dirs $(info Fetching $(SPEC)) $(SPACK) -e '/tmp/tmp.7PHPSIRACv' fetch $(SPACK_FETCH_FLAGS) /$(notdir $@) && touch $@ env/.install/%: env/.fetch/% $(info Installing $(SPEC)) +$(SPACK) -e '/tmp/tmp.7PHPSIRACv' install $(SPACK_INSTALL_FLAGS) --only-concrete --only=package --no-add /$(notdir $@) && touch $@ # Set the human-readable spec for each target env/%/cdqldivylyxocqymwnfzmzc5sx2zwvww: SPEC = perl@5.34.1%gcc@10.3.0+cpanm+shared+threads arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-zen2 env/%/gv5kin2xnn33uxyfte6k4a3bynhmtxze: SPEC = berkeley-db@18.1.40%gcc@10.3.0+cxx~docs+stl patches=b231fcc arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-zen2 env/%/cuymc7e5gupwyu7vza5d4vrbuslk277p: SPEC = bzip2@1.0.8%gcc@10.3.0~debug~pic+shared arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-zen2 env/%/7vangk4jvsdgw6u6oe6ob63pyjl5cbgk: SPEC = diffutils@3.8%gcc@10.3.0 arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-zen2 env/%/hyb7ehxxyqqp2hiw56bzm5ampkw6cxws: SPEC = libiconv@1.16%gcc@10.3.0 libs=shared,static arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-zen2 env/%/yfz2agazed7ohevqvnrmm7jfkmsgwjao: SPEC = gdbm@1.19%gcc@10.3.0 arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-zen2 env/%/73t7ndb5w72hrat5hsax4caox2sgumzu: SPEC = readline@8.1%gcc@10.3.0 arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-zen2 env/%/trvdyncxzfozxofpm3cwgq4vecpxixzs: SPEC = ncurses@6.2%gcc@10.3.0~symlinks+termlib abi=none arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-zen2 env/%/sbzszb7v557ohyd6c2ekirx2t3ctxfxp: SPEC = pkgconf@1.8.0%gcc@10.3.0 arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-zen2 env/%/c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc: SPEC = zlib@1.2.12%gcc@10.3.0+optimize+pic+shared patches=0d38234 arch=linux-ubuntu20.04-zen2 # Install dependencies env/.install/cdqldivylyxocqymwnfzmzc5sx2zwvww: env/.install/gv5kin2xnn33uxyfte6k4a3bynhmtxze env/.install/cuymc7e5gupwyu7vza5d4vrbuslk277p env/.install/yfz2agazed7ohevqvnrmm7jfkmsgwjao env/.install/c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc env/.install/cuymc7e5gupwyu7vza5d4vrbuslk277p: env/.install/7vangk4jvsdgw6u6oe6ob63pyjl5cbgk env/.install/7vangk4jvsdgw6u6oe6ob63pyjl5cbgk: env/.install/hyb7ehxxyqqp2hiw56bzm5ampkw6cxws env/.install/yfz2agazed7ohevqvnrmm7jfkmsgwjao: env/.install/73t7ndb5w72hrat5hsax4caox2sgumzu env/.install/73t7ndb5w72hrat5hsax4caox2sgumzu: env/.install/trvdyncxzfozxofpm3cwgq4vecpxixzs env/.install/trvdyncxzfozxofpm3cwgq4vecpxixzs: env/.install/sbzszb7v557ohyd6c2ekirx2t3ctxfxp env/clean: rm -f -- env/env env/fetch env/.fetch/cdqldivylyxocqymwnfzmzc5sx2zwvww env/.fetch/gv5kin2xnn33uxyfte6k4a3bynhmtxze env/.fetch/cuymc7e5gupwyu7vza5d4vrbuslk277p env/.fetch/7vangk4jvsdgw6u6oe6ob63pyjl5cbgk env/.fetch/hyb7ehxxyqqp2hiw56bzm5ampkw6cxws env/.fetch/yfz2agazed7ohevqvnrmm7jfkmsgwjao env/.fetch/73t7ndb5w72hrat5hsax4caox2sgumzu env/.fetch/trvdyncxzfozxofpm3cwgq4vecpxixzs env/.fetch/sbzszb7v557ohyd6c2ekirx2t3ctxfxp env/.fetch/c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc env/.install/cdqldivylyxocqymwnfzmzc5sx2zwvww env/.install/gv5kin2xnn33uxyfte6k4a3bynhmtxze env/.install/cuymc7e5gupwyu7vza5d4vrbuslk277p env/.install/7vangk4jvsdgw6u6oe6ob63pyjl5cbgk env/.install/hyb7ehxxyqqp2hiw56bzm5ampkw6cxws env/.install/yfz2agazed7ohevqvnrmm7jfkmsgwjao env/.install/73t7ndb5w72hrat5hsax4caox2sgumzu env/.install/trvdyncxzfozxofpm3cwgq4vecpxixzs env/.install/sbzszb7v557ohyd6c2ekirx2t3ctxfxp env/.install/c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc ``` Then with `make -O` you get very nice orderly output when packages are built in parallel: ```console $ make -Orecurse -j16 spack -e . install --only-concrete --only=package /c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc && touch c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc ==> Installing zlib-1.2.12-c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc ...

Another nice feature is you can do Makefile "metaprogramming" and depend on packages built by Spack. This example fetches all sources (in parallel) first, print a message, and only then build packages (in parallel). ```Makefile SPACK ?= spack .PHONY: env all: env spack.lock: spack.yaml $(SPACK) -e . concretize -f env.mk: spack.lock $(SPACK) -e . env depfile -o $@ --make-target-prefix spack fetch: spack/fetch @echo Fetched all packages && touch $@ env: fetch spack/env @echo This executes after the environment has been installed clean: rm -rf spack/ env.mk spack.lock ifeq (,$(filter clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS))) include env.mk endif ``` |

Spack
Spack is a multi-platform package manager that builds and installs multiple versions and configurations of software. It works on Linux, macOS, and many supercomputers. Spack is non-destructive: installing a new version of a package does not break existing installations, so many configurations of the same package can coexist.
Spack offers a simple "spec" syntax that allows users to specify versions and configuration options. Package files are written in pure Python, and specs allow package authors to write a single script for many different builds of the same package. With Spack, you can build your software all the ways you want to.
See the Feature Overview for examples and highlights.
To install spack and your first package, make sure you have Python. Then:
$ git clone -c feature.manyFiles=true https://github.com/spack/spack.git
$ cd spack/bin
$ ./spack install zlib
Documentation
Full documentation is available, or
run spack help
or spack help --all
.
For a cheat sheet on Spack syntax, run spack help --spec
.
Tutorial
We maintain a hands-on tutorial. It covers basic to advanced usage, packaging, developer features, and large HPC deployments. You can do all of the exercises on your own laptop using a Docker container.
Feel free to use these materials to teach users at your organization about Spack.
Community
Spack is an open source project. Questions, discussion, and contributions are welcome. Contributions can be anything from new packages to bugfixes, documentation, or even new core features.
Resources:
- Slack workspace: spackpm.slack.com. To get an invitation, visit slack.spack.io.
- Mailing list: groups.google.com/d/forum/spack
- Twitter: @spackpm. Be sure to
@mention
us!
Contributing
Contributing to Spack is relatively easy. Just send us a
pull request.
When you send your request, make develop
the destination branch on the
Spack repository.
Your PR must pass Spack's unit tests and documentation tests, and must be PEP 8 compliant. We enforce these guidelines with our CI process. To run these tests locally, and for helpful tips on git, see our Contribution Guide.
Spack's develop
branch has the latest contributions. Pull requests
should target develop
, and users who want the latest package versions,
features, etc. can use develop
.
Releases
For multi-user site deployments or other use cases that need very stable software installations, we recommend using Spack's stable releases.
Each Spack release series also has a corresponding branch, e.g.
releases/v0.14
has 0.14.x
versions of Spack, and releases/v0.13
has
0.13.x
versions. We backport important bug fixes to these branches but
we do not advance the package versions or make other changes that would
change the way Spack concretizes dependencies within a release branch.
So, you can base your Spack deployment on a release branch and git pull
to get fixes, without the package churn that comes with develop
.
The latest release is always available with the releases/latest
tag.
See the docs on releases for more details.
