[MPICH] MPICH1.2.7 compile with LINUX_PPC broken?

[Jan Wagner]

Hi,

I try to compile mpich 1.2.7 for the PowerPC architecture in big-endian 
mode (on the Playstation3 where it is a slimmed-down PowerPC processor 
with no support for little-endian).

$ ./configure -rsh=RSHCOMMAND --with-device=ch_p4 \
    --prefix=/usr/local/mpich-1.2.7/ch_p4 \
    --with-arch=LINUX_PPC
    --with-common-prefix=/usr/local/mpich-1.2.7

$ make

$ make install

However even tstmachines does not work, it tries to look for 
"machines.LINUX" instead of "machines.LINUX_PPC".

Any ideas?

Does MPICH 1.2.7 really support LINUX_PPC?

thanks,
  - Jan
