[mpich-discuss] couldn't build mpich-3.1.1 on Solaris 10 withgcc-4.9.0

[Siegmar Gross]

Hi,

> Before we go digging down this path, did you try simplifying your

No, because I could built mpich-3.1.1 with "Sun C 5.12" on all
platforms and with "gcc" on Linux with the same options. "make
check" didn't report any failures for mpich, although "make testing"
reported some problems.

mpich-3.1.1-SunOS.sparc.64_cc:
  60 tests failed out of 825
mpich-3.1.1-SunOS.x86_64.64_cc:
  32 tests failed out of 825
mpich-3.1.1-Linux.x86_64.64_cc:
  62 tests failed out of 825
mpich-3.1.1-Linux.x86_64.64_gcc:
  35 tests failed out of 825

Which options shall I use/remove for/from "configure"?

> Why do you need the rpath settings?

Solaris uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH for 32-bit libraries/executables and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 for 64-bit ones. When I build "mpich" as 64-bit
version, the 32-bit library for "libxml2.so" will be used without
rpath. I don't know if that is a problem of our gcc-installation
or your Makefile, but I could solve the problem with rpath.

Yes, and it works as you can see below. I create 32-bit executables
with "-m32" and 64-bit ones with "-m64".

tyr mpich-3.1.1-SunOS.sparc.64_gcc 33 which gcc
/usr/local/gcc-4.9.0/bin/gcc
tyr mpich-3.1.1-SunOS.sparc.64_gcc 34 file /usr/local/gcc-4.9.0/bin/gcc
/usr/local/gcc-4.9.0/bin/gcc:   ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC32PLUS
  Version 1, V8+ Required, dynamically linked, not stripped
tyr mpich-3.1.1-SunOS.sparc.64_gcc 35 gcc -m32 -o hello_32 hello.c 
tyr mpich-3.1.1-SunOS.sparc.64_gcc 36 gcc -m64 -o hello_64 hello.c
tyr mpich-3.1.1-SunOS.sparc.64_gcc 37 file hello_*
hello_32:       ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC32PLUS Version 1,

tyr mpich-3.1.1-SunOS.sparc.64_gcc 38 hello_32
Alles klar.
tyr mpich-3.1.1-SunOS.sparc.64_gcc 39 hello_64
Alles klar.
tyr mpich-3.1.1-SunOS.sparc.64_gcc 40 


Thank you very much for your help in advance.


Kind regards
