[mpich-discuss] Build in Solaris 10 x86 HELP...

[Dave Goodell]

It looks like the assembler on your machine doesn't like some of the enhanced memcpy code that we've written into nemesis.  This appears to be a Solaris on x86 machine, and the configure script decides that x86 assembly is supported by the assembler by using a small test program.  Unfortunately, the assembler does not support a more complicated hunk of inline assembly listed here:

http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/mpich2/browser/mpich2/tags/release/mpich2-1.4.1p1/src/mpid/ch3/channels/nemesis/nemesis/include/mpid_nem_memdefs.h

In the short run, you should be able to get unstuck by editing 12 of that file to read "#if 0" instead.  If the relevant section of the configure.in file was written correctly then there would be other easy ways to get around this, but unfortunately it appears to be buggy.

A heavier weight option would be to upgrade your GCC and assembler packages so that the fancier assembly code is understood correctly.  I personally wouldn't bother with this, but it should work.

In the long run we should probably make the configure test more robust, and also add a "--disable-asm-memcpy" option or similar so that no code editing is required.  I'll add a ticket for this in trac.
