[mpich-discuss] [MSYS] fail to generate configure and makefile

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 Looking at the output of the configure log I recommend that you install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) on your system. The error message shows that you do not have sysv/mmap support (required by the MPICH2 Nemesis channel for shared memory communication) on your system (looks like you have just installed the mingw compilers).
 If you are not planning to modify MPICH2 code you could also try the windows installer (http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/downloads/index.php?s=downloads) to install MPICH2 on your system. Some newer versions of the gcc compilers (I haven't tested mingw x.x yet) allow users to directly link with windows libraries.

Regards,
Jayesh

Hi,
 Run the "maint/updatefiles" script which will create the configure script and other files required to compile MPICH2 (Or you could take the nightly snapshots that already have the files generated for you - http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/downloads/tarballs/nightly/).

Hi,

I checked out mpich2 SVN trunk to c:\prj\mpich2 (rev.6844), and it comes without the configure script.
I tried to build it on MSYS/MinGW/WindowsXP but failed:

$ cd /c/prj/mpich2/

jiehua at jiehua-PC /c/prj/mpich2
$ autoreconf
configure.in:736: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.in:995: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_ERROR
configure.in:2504: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CXX_EXCEPTIONS
configure.in:2505: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CXX_BOOL
configure.in:2506: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CXX_NAMESPACES
configure.in:2523: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CXX_NAMESPACE_STD
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf-2.65 failed with exit status: 1
[/quote]

Then I downloaded mpich2-1.3a2.tar.gz, and the configure script in it can work under MSYS, but it failed to generate the Makefile at last. See the attached log file for details.

I have two questions:
1. What are the commands used to generate the configure script?
2. Why it failed to generate the Makefile on MSYS? Did I miss something? Or it simply does not support MSYS/MinGW?

Best regards,
Feiyun Wang
