Hello<br><br>I tried the following from the configure script, just to create the references for the windows installation:<br><br><pre>ln -s libmpich.a libmpi.a<br>ln -s libmpich.so.1 libmpi.so.1<br></pre><br>I just also found that the windows mpich2 installation installed a 0 kb libmpi.a in the "Program Files\MPICH2\lib" path?!<br>
<br>I think I am on the wrong direction all together, please help,<br><br>Kind Regards, <br><br>Manal<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/10/29 Manal Helal <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:manalorama@gmail.com">manalorama@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I think I can make the gcc compiler see the mpi.h by adding the -I argument and the folder of the mpi.h and similarly the -L to the library path, this compiled the code with no problems.<br>
<br>However it is not linking to libmpi or libmpi.a, giving me the following errors:<br>
<br>*********************************************************<br>/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find<br> -libmpi.a<br>collect2: ld returned 1 exit status<br>*********************************************************<br>
<br>this happens when I use -libmpi or -libmpi.a in the gcc command<br><br>I think this has to do with the library reference name not defined to link with, I am not sure how to solve this, google gives me general explanation on library names, <br>
<br>I am not sure if I should post this in gcc or linux forums, but I hope someone here could help, <br><br>thanks again, <br><br>Manal<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/10/28 Jayesh Krishna <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jayesh@mcs.anl.gov" target="_blank">jayesh@mcs.anl.gov</a>></span><div>

unix code as windows exe<br></font><br></div><div><div></div><div>
<div></div>Hi<br><br>I need to compile Unix code under windows generating an exe
file. I downloaded cygwin with gcc and make (that what I use on Solaris and
Linux flavors) , and downloaded mpich2 for windows which didn't contain mpicc
this is what I use in my make files.<br><br>Will you please advise on the
easiest efficient way to compile Unix code on a windows platform and link to
mpich in the compilation process? sorry if it is a basic question, I searched
google, and couldn't get an easy step by step tutorial that covers all
requirements.<br><br>Thank you very much in advance, <br><br>Kind Regards,
<br><br>Manal<br></div></div></div>
