I can't claim to speak for NetBSD but, for info, I have just managed to COMPILE 1.5rc3 on a NetBSD platform. Notes: ====== 1) The patch NetBSD was applying to opal/util/if.c Rewrite network interface configuration using getifaddrs(3) for BSD, is no longer needed, so that's obviously now in the OpenMPI source. 2) A couple of other NetBSD patches needed altering but mostly for line numbers with an extra couple of changes where OpenMPI has changed a define from #if OMPI_WANT_LIBLTDL to #if OPAL_WANT_LIBLTDL 3) I also had to disable the Vampire Trace toolkit build --enable-contrib-no-build=vt but then I had to do that for OpenMPI 1.4.2. 4) The other thing that comes to mind are the mountain of WARNINGs because of the "redefinition" of #define CACHE_LINE_SIZE 128 in opal/include/opal/sys/cache.h although it's a bit "chicken and egg" because NetBSD's definition, in: /usr/include/sys/param.h obviously allows one to redefine it, vis: #ifndef CACHE_LINE_SIZE #define CACHE_LINE_SIZE 64 #endif so that's probably not an issue but at least you know about it. That OpenMPI #define should probably be wrapped in an #ifndef to defeat the warnings but, as to which should be defined first, by virtue of the order the order of the include files ... ? I'll try actually installing and running the thing when I get a chance but thought you might appreciate some "progress feedback" from a NetBSD platform trail. -- Kevin M.
