[mpich-discuss] configure: different behaviour for bitypes.h on two machines

[Siegmar Gross]

Hi,

I have an old Cygwin-1.5 installation with X11R6 (machine "eiger")
and a new one with X11R7 (machine "wi23"). I was able to install
mpich2-1.0.8 with the following configure-command on the old machine:

configure --prefix=/usr/local/mpich2-1.0.8 \
  CFLAGS="" CXXFLAGS="" FFLAGS="" LDFLAGS="" \
  CPPFLAGS="" C_INCL_PATH="" C_INCLUDE_PATH="" CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="" \
  OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH="" \
  --with-thread-package=posix --with-mpe \
  --enable-threads=multiple:global_mutex --enable-mpe \
  --enable-f77 --enable-cxx --enable-romio \
  |& tee log.configure.$SYSTEM_ENV.$MACHINE_ENV

Now I wanted to install mpich2-1.0.8 on the new machine with the
same configure-command and got an error in "make":

...
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I../../../include
  -I/home/fd1026/MPI/MPICH2/mpich2-1.0.8/src/include -O2

The file "bitypes.h" exists neither on the old nor on the new machine.
On the new machine I could find the following output in file
"config.log".

On the old machine I found the following outputs.

I found a lot more output in config.log on the old machine.

As far as I can see both machines have the same Cygwin version and use
the same compiler. Does anybody know why "configure" behaves in such
a strange way? The only difference between both machines is that I have
installed a lot more packages on the old machine. Does anybody know if
"configure" needs a special package which I may have not installed on
the new machine? Thank you very much for any help in advance.
