When generating an NLO process using "set output_dependencies internal", the compilation of CutTools fails as below. (Since we anyways package the base madgraph directory in our gridpacks already because of madspin, it's not clear that we strictly need output_dependencies internal, but in any case that's how we were doing things in 2.2.2 and it was working there)

Hi,
Thanks for the notification Josh, and sorry for my late reply on this. I have fixed this issue in the development version (2.3.2).
I hope it didn't delay anything since you seem to anyway be forced to package everything because of MadSpin. By the way, isn't there a way to do it in two steps, first produce the non-decayed events only from your gridpack including only the process output and then only process them via MadSpin? I think it was part of the motivation as to why the related python code was not added in the bin/internal directory of the process output (and therefore not available without the MG distribution).
Cheers,
