Hi. I have been trying to build the latest ompi-trunk (as of yesterday)
svn snapshot (r16158) of OpenMPI on a FreeBSD 6.2 machine and have run
into 3 build problems. I was curious if anyone else has encountered
these errors and if they are being addressed.
Problem 1
---------
When running the autogen.sh script as non-root, I see the following error:
*************************************************************************

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems that the execution of "autoconf" has failed. See above for
the specific error message that caused it to abort.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*************************************************************************
After some searching, it would appear that this is an autoconf issue
that crops up in FreeBSD but, for whatever reason, not in Linux. A quick
workaround is to add: `chmod -vr u+w *` just before autogen issues the
`run_and_check $ompi_autoconf` command on line 438.
Problem 2:
----------
After correcting the autogen.sh script, running it and then running
configure with --prefix=some_directory as a parameter, it was time to
`make all install.` Following is console output:

***********************************************************************
It would seem that openpty needs to have libutil.h included on a
freeBSD machine. I added a quick #ifdef/#include of libutil.h in
opal/util/opal_pty.c and restarted make.
Problem 3:
----------
Compilation made it a little further this time around, but began
complaining about ompi/mpi/f77/strings.h. More console output:

***********************************************************************
I ended up changing function declarations in ompi/mpi/f77/strings.h from
'OMPI_DECLSPEC int function_name()' to simply 'int function_name()'
which also appears to be how it was done in the last stable (v1.2.3)
release. This final change allowed make to complete.
---
Please note, these errors were seen in ompi-trunk (r16158). The current
stable release (v1.2.3) as well as the pre-release (v1.2.4) do NOT
exhibit any of these problems when compiled on FreeBSD 6.2.
One final note: running autogen.sh on a linux machine followed by
configure/make on freeBSD was also attempted to see if some of the
source or build scripts were being generated incorrectly on FreeBSD.
However, this yielded the same errors with ompi-trunk as mentioned above.
Any ideas?
