[mpich-discuss] MPICH on windows: not able to compile programs

Mon Apr 27 09:14:41 CDT 2009

Hi, 
    You shouldn't need any *workaround* to get MPI programs compiled with
MPICH2 on windows. Let us know if you need help in this regard.
    The MPICH2 installer installs the necessary MPICH2 dlls to the windows
system directory (eg: c:\windows\system32) of the installed machine. You
might have to transfer the MPICH2 dlls to the same directory as your
executable for you application to work.

  Note that the name of the MPICH dlls have changed from MPICH to MPICH2
(eg: You don't have mpich.dll - only mpich2.dll - with MPICH2. See the
list of dlls above).  Also note that you need to have the process manager
running on all the nodes (smpd.exe -start) for your MPI program to work.
  We don't test MPICH2 with condor, but several customers routinely run
MPICH2 with condor.
  Let us know if you still have problems.

Regards,
Jayesh

Thanks Jayesh..

With some workaround, I'm able to compile and run it with
mpich2-1.0.8p1_ia32.
Initially I used IDE. There were errors "undefined reference to ...". Then
used command line:
D:\condor\CON-MP~1>gcc himpi.c -o himpi.exe -I"E:\Dev-Cpp\include"
-I"E:\mpich2\
include" -L"E:\Dev-Cpp\lib" "E:\mpich2\lib\libmpi.a"

Now its required me to run mpi programs under condor scheduler. The error
am facing for this is:
D:\condor\CON-MP~1>condor_submit job.sub
Submitting job(s)
ERROR: Condor cannot find the "mpich.dll" file it needs to run your MPI
job.
Please specify the full path to this file in the "transfer_input_files"
setting in your submit description file.

There is no mpich.dll in mpich2-1.0.8p1 version.
Is it possible to get mpich.dll by other ways of install/distribution?
Is mpich2 team testing condor?
Thanks in advance,
Sangamesh

Hi,
 MPICH 1.2.5 is old. Can you try the latest stable version of MPICH2
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/downloads/index.php?s=dow

Dear All,

Dev-C++-4.9.9.2 is installed on a Windows XP machine.

Why these errors?
Is there anybody successful to compile C mpi program on Windows?
I've faced same problem with MPICH2 also.
Thanks in advance,
