** DEPRECATED **

The CIME configure tool is a perl script used to generate the CIME software build environment. It will produce Macros files for use in Makefiles or CMakefiles along with csh and sh scripts which can be sourced to load the modules (on systems that support modules) and environment variables used by CIME on a given system.

The configure component test can be run on any linux system which meets the minimum software requirements for perl in CIME. When run it generates a directory tree for each supported machine and compiler in CIME and compares that tree against a baseline tree in the repository. Any unexpected differences should be corrected and the baselines should be updated with expected differences. This test validates the contents of the config_compilers.xml file and the modules and environment sections of the config_machines.xml file and assures that no errors were introduced in the perl Modules used to parse those files.
