[MITgcm-devel] RE: genmake2 -mpi

[Alistair Adcroft]

I think the problem is that genmake2 isn't quite there yet - I'd forgotten
that most MPI testing is being done by choosing the optfile appropriately.
The -mpi option will return because has been requested by me repeatedly.
-mpi will look in the obvious places for mpi and the optfiles will provide
site-specific locations where necessary.

Hi Alistair,

I was used to set #define ALLOW_USE_MPI & #define ALWAYS_USE_MPI in
CPP_EEOPTIONS.h but now, things have changed.

I found (in eesup/inc/CPP_EEOPTIONS.h) :
> CXXX We no longer select the use of MPI via this file
> (CPP_EEOPTIONS.h) CXXX To use MPI, use an appropriate genmake2 options 
> file or use CXXX genmake2 -mpi . CXXX #undef  ALLOW_USE_MPI
> CXXX #undef  ALWAYS_USE_MPI

but when I try:
genmake2 -mpi -mods=../code

I get:

Error: unrecognized option: -mpi

And this has been like this since eesup/inc/CPP_EEOPTIONS.h was 
modified (Jan. 21, 2004).

Is the plan to change genmake2 to reconize the option -mpi ?
I think it would be nice to this finished.
