- E3SM/cime_config/machines/config_machines.xml: Contains list of valid compilers (COMPILERS) and environment setup (modules, environment_variables).
- E3SM/cime_config/machines/config_compilers.xml: DEPRECATED. Contains specifications (flags, link flags, exe names) for compilers (gcc, pgi) as well as machine-specific modifications for those compilers. This system can be reactivated by setting CIME_NO_CMAKE_MACRO=1 in your environment.
- E3SM/cime_config/machines/cmake_macros/*: Contains specifications (flags, link flags, exe names) for compilers (gcc, pgi) as well as machine-specific modifications for those compilers. Replaces config_compilers.xml.
- E3SM/cime_config/machines/Depends.$compiler.$machine.cmake: Contains machine/compiler-specific flag changes for specific E3SM component files
- E3SM/cime_config/scripts/Toolscustomize/e3sm_compile_wrap.py: The default compile/link wrapper. It is used to produce timings of all operations
- E3SM/cime/scripts_config/machines/scripts/*: Python scripts to assist in managing cmake macro files.
- E3SM/components/CMakeLists.txt: The root CMakeLists.txt file for E3SM, mostly just iterates over components and calls functions
- E3SM/components/cmake/cmake_util.cmake: Contains some generally useful functions for cmake
- E3SM/components/cmake/build_mpas_model.cmake: Implements the handoff between E3SM's CMake system to MPAS's Cmake system
E3SM/components/cmake/common_setup.cmake: Cmake setup common to all core components, this is only invoked ones (AFTER mpas is configured)
- E3SM/components/cmake/build_model.cmake: Implements how an individual core component gets configures (involves reading the Filepath and CCSM_cppdefs, globbing files, etc)
- E3SM/components/cmake/modules/*.cmake: Cmake modules for finding packages we depend on
- E3SM/components/cmake/*/CMakeLists.txt: Very thin CMakeLists.txt files for each component type, this is just to ensure each component get it's own build area
- E3SM/components/*/bld/configure: Perl configure script for component, should produce Filepath and CCSM_cppdefs files
- E3SM/components/*/cime_config/buildnml: The buildnml script for component, controls what flags get passed to $component/bld/configure
- E3SM/components/*/cime_config/buildlib: The legacy buildlib driver for the classic deprecated Makefile-based build system
- E3SM/components/*/cime_config/buildlib_cmake: A insertion point for last-minute, component-specific changes before cmake is called. For example, mosart uses this file, not bld/configure, to generate Filepath and CCSM_cppdefs
- E3SM/components/mpas-source/src/CMakeLists.txt: The root CMakeLists.txt for MPAS
- E3SM/components/mpas-source/src/cmake_utils.cmake: Contains some generally useful functions for configuring MPAS
- E3SM/components/mpas-source/src/build_core.cmake: A generic implementation for building MPAS cores
- E3SM/components/mpas-source/src/core_landice/landice.cmake: The CMake definition of the landice core
- E3SM/components/mpas-source/src/core_ocean/ocean.cmake: The CMake definition of the ocean core
- E3SM/components/mpas-source/src/core_seaice/seaice.cmake: The CMake definition of the seaice core
- E3SM/share/buildlib: Python build wrapper scripts for our SHAREDLIB packages. CIME invokes these during the SHAREDLIB build phase.
- $case/Buildconf/*conf: The various build conf dirs for all active components, the Filepath and CCSM_cppdefs files for each component live here
- $case/Macros.cmake: The file that includes the relevant files in cmake_macros. You can modify this locally in your case.
- $case/cmake_macros/*: The files that ultimately sets flags, link flags, etc. You can modify this locally in your case.
- $case/Macros.make: A makefile macro derived from the cmake macros, needed for the sharedlibs that still use Makefile build systems. This is an auto-generated file that you should never edit.
- $case/SourceMods/src.$component/*: Alternative source files to use instead of the ones from the component in your source dir
- $EXEROOT/cmake-bld: The root cmake build/binary directory
- $case/Tools/e3sm_compile_wrap.py: The case-specific compiler wrapper, this will start out as a copy of the e3sm_compile_wrap.py from the repo. Users can customize this one.

As of recent (2020) PRs, the E3SM build system will always wrap compilations and links with the e3sm_compile_wrap.py script. The default version of this script lives in E3SM/cime_config/scripts/Toolscustomize/e3sm_compile_wrap.py and will be copied to all cases in $case/Tools. The one in the case is what actually gets used by the build system and is modifiable by the user at any time. The default behavior of this script is to time add timing info for all links and compilations to the e3sm.bldlog. A handy command for listing actions from cheapest to most expensive: `grep "built in" e3sm.bldlog.* | sort -n -k5,5` . This makes it very easy to find expensive actions.
