alibuild recipe (reference) : requirements #771
Conversation
Adding extra details about the logic I understood for the fields : requires, build_requires, runtime_requires (after mail exchanges with Adrian Sevcenco, Giulio Eulisse + some local tests on one alidist recipe (lhapdf.sh). To be revised by Giulio to make sure that this is correct.

Thank you for this. We should probably check the the runtime_requires behave correctly. I do no think we ever used them... |

Do you confirm that a requires or build_requires load the dependency module before the build starts ?
I mean, it is a "casual" loading of module, there is nothing extra or specific (bin, lib, env) due to the fact that we are about to compile a new package ? In other words, loading a module, be it for a coming built-time or run-time, is the same ?
(I was not sure about this).

not the dependency module, they load the build environment of the dependencies. aliBuild has no idea about modulefiles.
Apparently it is not the full module of the dependency which is loaded before the build requiring it starts, it is the build environment only.
Update of the TOC to match the section content (build env, runtime env, ...)

Marking this as draft, as the CI builder errors out without the changes in #789 If there's still interest to get this merged, could you rebase this on master? The file is now located at |
