[mpich-discuss] need to compile unix code as windows exe

[Manal Helal]

Hi Jayesh

Thank you very much for your reply.

I tried both methods as follows:


I installed windows MPICH2 and used gcc on cygwin trying to link with
libmpi.a, the path in cygwin is:

******************************
$ echo $PATH
/cygdrive/f/Program Files/MPICH2/lib:/cygdrive/f/Program
Files/MPICH2/include:/u
sr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/f/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive
/f/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/f/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/f/Program
Files/CVSNT/:/c
ygdrive/f/Program Files/CMake 2.6/bin:/usr/bin
******************************

and mpi.h is found:
******************************
$ which mpi.h
/cygdrive/f/Program Files/MPICH2/include/mpi.h
******************************


and libmpi is found:
******************************
$ which libmpi.a
/cygdrive/f/Program Files/MPICH2/lib/libmpi.a
******************************

however when I compile, mpi.h is not found (I tried with -libmpi.a and
-libmpi and get the same errors below):

******************************
$  gcc -c -g -libmpi.a main.c
main.c:25:17: mpi.h: No such file or directory
In file included from utils.h:12,
                 from main.c:27:
******************************

As for the second method, when I try to configure mpich2, it is not working:

******************************
$ ./configure
./configure: line 9: $'\r': command not found
./configure: line 14: $'\r': command not found
./configure: line 18: $'\r': command not found
./configure: line 20: syntax error near unexpected token `$'{\r''
'/configure: line 20: `print_error() {
******************************

I tried with sh and bash and both give me the above output. I don't have
other shells and not sure if installing it will help.


Thank you very much for your help, very appreciated,

Kind Regards,

Manal
