[mpich-devel] MPICH on WSL

[Jeff Hammond]

I was unable to make progress with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) because of firewall issues and the lame networking stack (see https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues for a sampling) but someone else said they could apt-get  MPICH 3.2 without issue. 

I'd love to verify but I do not have a computer with enough space for a Win10 VM that isn't behind a firewall. Hopefully someone else can verify and document for MPICH FAQ.

> FYI, opencoarrays build and pass all tests on my WSL. This is true for both the master trunk (bb1b8ee) and the 1.8.2 release. I don't use install.sh, I install all dependencies via apt-get and do cmake .. && make && ctest.
> I noticed Damian's issue here and a few folks on comp.lang.fortran reporting that they get gcc-4.x in WSL out of the box. I am wondering whether there are multiple branches of WSL because I had gcc-5.4.0 out of the box since I enabled WSL for the first time. It may be important that I am on their Windows Insider Preview update cycle (current build is 14986.rs_prerelease.161202-1928).
