Within ecflow there are many scripts. Many of these scripts rely on environment variables.   

WK

export WK=<root source path ecflow>

This is used cmake.sh  and build_scripts/nightly/quick_install.sh

cmake.sh

This script is used to build ecflow on linux and relies on the module system

cd $WK
./cmake.sh clean make -j8         # start with a clean build, and make -j8
./cmake.sh clean make -j8 install # build and install to /var/tmp/$USER/install/cmake/ecflow/<version>
./cmake.sh debug make -j8         # build a debug version

quick_install.sh

This script depends on install made by cmake.sh, it will:

• Kill any existing server
• remove any old checkpoint and log files.
• start a new server
• run metabuilder/develop branch for ecflow
• Load all the definition from $WK/ANode/parser/test/data/good_defs
• kill any existing ecflow_ui and start a new ecflow_ui
